Fished one of the toughest local lakes we have, and it kicked my butt like normal. After I gave up on the bass I started thinning out the extremely overpopulated carp population. Normally I don't see anything much bigger than 5 pounds, so I was shocked when I spotted a big grass carp working down the bank towards me. Knowing how spooky they are I decided to Power pole down (drop the anchor  ) and wait for him to come to me. After several minutes he was in range and acting a little skittish so I took a long shot and it when right over his back   Cussing myself for missing my chance I decided to move slowly and carefully into the back of the pocket in case there was another. Didn't go far before I spotted another big light spot on the bottom in a foot of water. Couldn't tell if it was a log or fish but decided to take the chance. My shot was perfect and the fight was on! Mud and water flying everywhere and my arrow slicing the water like a shark's fin for several minutes before I finally subdued him with a whack from the carp club. Decided that was a good way to end the day and was very happy to meet some guys that were getting ready to go out and set lines for catfish. They said they had to go catch bait first, told them I had 27.5 pounds of bait for them if they wanted it   They were more than willing to take it off my hands for me. Far from the biggest I've shot, but probably one of the hardest fighting ones I can remember.

gotta love bowfishing!

Are those any good to eat, Don't they eat them a lot over seas?

Never eaten one but lots of folks around here eat all the variations of carp and say they're very good.
