Best regards, Skychief.

Made a lucky shot on the gar from atop the bridge.
I like spincast reels the most because of the quick retrieve, but we own and use the AMS reels too.

Love seeing this stuff guys!
I hadn't been bowfishing for over 20 years until the last couple of weeks. I had forgot what a blast it is!!!
Thanks, Skychief.

I was gonna post a few pics but after seeing what you guys are doing, I felt a little intimidated. We know there are bigger fish in the lake we shoot on but we can't seem to find them.
Nice fish guys!
Tom,
That is a nice Drum :thumbsup:
Sweet!
My 12 year old daughter likes bowfishing! Here are some photos of her fish.

Great pics guys! I'm so looking forward to my first bowfishing adventure. Anyone out there near SW Virginia area that is willing to take a bowfishing newbie under their wing?
Clint... I love that tiger shark picture. Awesome animals.
Here's a few pics of mine.

Not too many of them swimming around in South Dakota. Lol!

Nothing like some of these monsters, but my first with a bow...

Got this one and four others this morning. Also had a couple pulloffs and I lost track of all the shots. Just started fishing from the kayak, it's fun but not the best bowfishing boat. Sitting this low the fish are hard to see, and there is lots of water to shoot thru and refraction to figure for. The bow is almost horizontal to keep the limb out of the water. My wife took the cell phone pic from her kayak.

One of many nice commons my daughter shot on sunday

Nice pics all!
Quick question.....
How much would a 24" common carp weigh this time of the year (healthy, but, not full of spawn)?
Thanks, Skychief.
