Picked up my new boat on Thur, Joe and I went out saw a few carp but couldn't hit any. Joe wanted to go to the school dance tonight so I went out alone, I ended up boating two and had four pull off, one was a huge slob that bent my point and straitened one of the barbs out. This bow fishing is a blast      

   

   

nice job bro!!!

A great job indeed!!!

Jim,

Very nice carp! Do you have any idea what it weighed?

Great job, yeah it's fun.

what a way to break in a new boat
i remember when my sea-ark was new didnt take me long to start fillin up barrels with fish
i see u are using an ams retreiver in my opinion thats the way to go  what kind of heads are you using  it takes a pretty good head too stand up too hogs like your shootin

fish looks close to 18-20 lbs wouldn't you say?

What model and make of boat did you get? I've been looking around Nebraska for a new boat, or a new to me boat. I've been asking for input from various people. On one hand I would like to get a 14ft wide bottom jon boat because you can muscle them around if you need to. This fall I will be elk hunting back home in Montana and will have to take a 15-20 minute boat trip each way. After that I may not need that size of boat again. The other boat I'm considering is a 16 ft wide bottom, modified V with the steering console and controls. Just thought I'd get your 2cents if you have the time. Great job and I'm sure there will be more carp in your future.

Thanks

Is that your RedWing you're shootin'?  Nice set up. Nice fish.        

Nice set up! Good shooting! Is that the Hudson?

Jim, that sure is a WHOPPER!!  Good shooting buddy! I'll bet Joe was second guessing himself on the dance after hearing about all the action.

Jim, That sounds like a blast ! I have a canoe and boat like yours.I bought all of the gear needed to bow fish but Black Creek by me is so muddy you can't see the carp until your a couple feet from them and then they spook. If ya don't mind sharing your spot let me know and I will come down sometime.

Great stuff!  

Man, am I envious....   I'm beginning to feel like Captain Aham in search of the Great White Carp...   :^)   Good job and congratulations on the new boat

WOW! Now THAT has gotta be a blast! I've never been bow fishin' Jim. Kinda like to give it a try........  :rolleyes:  .........

See Ya At Sawmill Buddy!

... mike ...    ...

Will give more details later my partner was with me today, were getting some lunch and going back out. I'll have some more pics later  

Good luck Guys, I hope that 76'er serves You well. bretto

Yep!! Looks like Y'all are havin' a blast!!!!

Would love to see and hear more details about the boat and how you have it set-up (and future plans and ideas for it )

My boat is a 14 foot Crestliner 1448 modified jon boat it has a 15 hours four stroke mercury. I do have plans on a trolling motor and a 1000 watt generator for a couple lights so we can go out at night. Joe hit four fish and had them on but they were all hogs and they pulled off, he is not pulling enough poundage to get a pass through, none the less he made some super shots and had a blast. I shot 10 more fish today one of them was almost 26 pounds, I passed up a ton of shots trying to get Joe a fish we kept seeing this real big one but I wanted Joe to get it and not me, he would of liked showing the old man up, maybe tomorrow.
