Extreme bow fishing

Sorry, but I don't have any pictures for this post, but I still wanted to keep up on what we have been doing. Brandon, Ben Mazurek, Tim Smith(from church) and his son Hunter spent a long weekend doing Extreme bow fishing. Ben has a fifth wheel and a fishing boat so the guys hooked those things up and took off for the Illinois river. They had it all planned out, two guys would stand on the back platform with a bow aparatis hooked to their fishing pole, one would drive, and the fourth would stand with a baseball bat. Why a baseball bat you ask? Well, the guys went fishin' for carp and when you pulsate the motor of the boat, the carp would fly out of the water and the guy with the bat would have to try to hit them back to the water instead of having the fish jump into the boat. Both Brandon and Ben went to bed one night with a headache 'cuz they each had a carp, the size of their arm (25 pounds) fly out of the water and hit them in their heads. I would just love to go along just to watch them. They all came back with plans to do this again next year - I think this is going to be the annual guys weekend out!

bow apparatis hooked to their fishing pole? It was a reel hooked to their bow. It was probably a good thing we didnt go we wouldnt want to show them up since it is 99% luck and 1% skill to hit a carp.
