Well I can type up a story

I got invited by a new friend to go bow fishing near Cocodrie La. We put the boat in right at dark and rode for about 45 minutes. We found some clear water and starting easing along the bank of a lake. We hadn't gone far when my friend shoots and misses something and as it was going under the boat I swung drew and released really quick. The boat was still going forward so I thought I had missed. I grabbed my line to pull my arrow out the mud to reel it back in and the line took off burning the heck out of my fingers as the line went peeling out!
I hollered "I Got Him"!!!! My friend yelled let him run don't pull the arrow out! We got the boat turned around and finally were able to get another arrow in him and it was a good thing because I only had one barb in him... how it didn't pull out is sheer luck. My friend popped him in the head with his 22 caliber pistol and the celebration began! Whooping and hollering and high fiving lol

In true Cajun style I cleaned it and made gar balls. Talk about some good stuff!

Congrats Corey!

I knew if you were the "Corey" being referred to it was more than a regular fish story
