A little bowfishing and a new personal best.

Bowfished today for a few hours with a good buddy on the Meramec river. The sun didnt want to come out and the water was falling fast which made some of our usual flooded honey holes harder to get to. And the lack of sun made seeing fish tough. But once the sun finally popped out all was better. Ended up shooting about a dozen...Mostly asian carp...but I managed to stick one good grassy! My personal best! I didnt weigh it but its definitely my biggest.

All the fish were shot with my trusty bowfishing rig...a 56" browning wasp 45lbs

That is one big carp. You done good. Carp shooting ranks right up there with woodchucks.

Great googly moogly! That's a carp worth waiting for the sun to come out!

Have you eaten any of the Asian Carp - I heard they were good.

the silvers and bighead are good white meat, I wont eat those nasty common carp.

That is a really big fish man! Great Job!
I love getting in a creek and hunting down the biggest one I can find, that's good fun.

Congrats. That is a good one. They fight pretty hard. We shot a bunch today as well. I actually shot my new best for smallest carp ha ha

I'm always down around the Flamm City ramp. I live about 2 minutes from there. Last year I saw more 4-5ft gar than I have seen in a long time! Hoping to get one of those soon!

Good luck to you!
