Well, it's official... Thanks to Carpn, I'm no longer a bowfishing virgin. We made a trip up to the Sandusky Bay area yesterday for a day/night combo shoot, and it turned out to be well worth it. In total, we ended up with 100 bowfin or so, 80-100 carp (common and buffalos), a handful of goldfish, and even a few nice bullfrogs. Jake shot a couple carp in the bay that each weighed a whopping 39 pounds!!!

Here is some of the footage from last night... Enjoy!

Jake's 39-pounders... (I was just holding them so I could be cool TOO)

Lol. Let's just say they drift on down to carp heaven... that is, if there's not a log jam in the way somewhere. Jake could elaborate on this... Poor guy had to deal with barrels of fish all by himself this morning.

I put em in the woods behind my house as of now. I need to ask some of the local farmers if I can dump em in their fields . I always try to take em somewhere other than where we shot em. I don't like leaviNY where we shot em to start stinking

Next time you get a chance, try to go... You won't regret it. The video turned out ok, considering it was from a cheap point-n-shoot digital camera... Some higher-quality video would have been real sweet. Oh and sorry there wasn't any video of me shooting some fishies... I know you were all excited to take notes on how it's really done. (that would be missing 25 out of 30 shots) lmao
