It was a great shoot. The carp were spawning pretty hard. The wind was a bit tough. (without our 80lb troller pulling the pontoon boat around, we really had to stay out of the wind) We got into carp immediately but most of them stayed up under the brush which made shooting them (and getting the shot ones to the boat) pretty difficult. I think Mark and Denny shot more in the flooded yards where they didn't bust brush like us. Smart move. As usual, the Wonder Lake Sportsman's Club did a great job putting on the shoot. Thanks to Vince and his crew! We brought up a big box of door prizes to add to thier door prize table. I'm pretty sure everybody went to the table at least 3 times. Mark did win a bow and I also won one. Sweet! Choppy water that was full of carp. There were several dad and kids teams. K and I got 44. Still didn't fill the dumpster tho'. Chris and Jessie Much food. Vince ran things like a pro. One person division winner. Some Yahoos won the two person division. (Heh.. Congrats, Mark and Denny!) Big fish winner Mark 'Lucky' Shipton. Three person team winners. Halfway through the door prizes. Woohoo! I won a bow. (don't be jealous of my awesome hair style) Mark wins the other bow. A big thanks to the guys that donated the bows!! Kendall's threaded insert popped out causing his reel to fall into the lake. It happened when he shot a carp. Happily the carp swam toward shore so it was easy to fish the reel/line/arrow/carp back out. It could have ended a lesser man's bowfishing outing... but not for a skilled toolmaker like K. LOL!! K's custom reel holder on'er thing. (you might know it better as electric tape)
I remember going to watch you guys at that shoot 2 years ago. I can't believe how big Jessie has gotten. Looks like it was a great time!
