Who is building your boat in Iowa? We have a custom bowfishing boat being built in Texas right now,

and should have it in two weeks. We also have a fan boat now that is set up. If you want to get on the fish before your boat gets here let me know.

Thats right!
Not gonna lie, you saw me on a bad night

We'll see how that shooting changes when on a boat with low rail/no rails! It improves drastically when I am not worried about my bow! I have plenty o pictures of fish I have shot

If he has gator gar I know I can have a boat over there dang near any night of the week/weekend! I got you Alec!

Our gator gar come from the river into our culvert pools.. As the water flows back out of our fishing lakesinto the river when river drops, fish school and swim from river against screw gate current and into our lake. Gators hang out in the pools( on river side) busting all the game fish swimming through the pipes back into our lakes. I merely stand on gravel road and shoot down....Not your Mutual of Omaha classic Gar shoot......actually I drive up in my BadBoy Bugggy! It sort of be there at the right time kind of thing.....but this flood will definitely put the big gars back in our bar pits and blue holes.....I havea sweet spot for 80# buffalo a friend is going to cut me in on.. he shot a 81# and 84#.......I'll post a pic

It was Arkansas and he has broken their's twice Unofficial but does not post it anywhere. He's an old Redman Bass tournament guy who oddly remembers concentration of huge rough fish. He only shoots trophy fish he says>>>>>>>>>>...so I'll see. I know he caught a nice cooler of big crappie saturday at our deer camp and 3 boats of old timers caught 7 fish total. He knows his stuff...I'll have to be a good redneck and mount an 80# buff!!!
Correction ..we call the Asian Carp ...Big Eye instead of Big Head........my in laws farm laborer from the Democratic party named them that because he says he gets BIG EYES when they whiz by his head going 20mph when he's jugging on the river......

Well spent the Easter weekend on the mighty mississippi. Watched the big muddy rise and rise went in on the main road water came up to the grill

Did not even think about going out that way we took the long road out. Shot a truck load of carp gar and buffalo had a great time. I will say it is going to be very interesting to she just how high she gets
