Well i know Troy already saw this on facebook but yesterday evening me and my buddy went out bowfishing in some flood water off of a creek that connects to the river not far away. Well we got into a BUNCH of buffalo and gar. Well i couldn't hit the broadside of a barn at first. Then my buddy kills a nice 20 lb buffalo and starts braggin about it. Well 5 minutes later i look down just a few feet in the water and see a white mark. Its a white spot on the top of a fishes head. Well it looked like about a 10 pounder when i shot. And the second the arrow connected the water went berserk. It wasn't even close to 10 lbs. We only had my bow between both of us so we decided not to risk it and fight the fish. I grabbed the line and he reached out as far as he could and grabbed it and landed it. It ended up being 43 lbs. (My boss from work has a state certified set of scales and i went to his house to weigh it) only 10 lbs. shy of the state record buffalo. Here's the picture.
P.S. i know it doesnt look that heavy but im also 6'5" 245lb haha.

Did the state ever start a bowfishing record book? Last I heard there weren't allowing fish shot with a bow into the record books.

	Life is just a series of obstacles preventing you from fishing.

daybreak: Always loved Labor Day weekend. Time for those jet skis and speed boats to go back in storage and make room on the lakes for us fishermen again. (:))
