    Here’s some photo’s of the weigh in.

    One of the things that impressed me and kind of took me by surprise was all the father/son teams. I truly expected a bunch of rowdy guys to turn out.

    Not the case at all.

    I don’t have names and winning weights for most. Riverbasher will be posting them once he gets a good days sleep! LOL!

    Smallest fish entered was a shad that weighed less than one tenth of an ounce. There were actually two and the tie was decided on by a flip of the coin.

    The demographics of bowfishers continues to change as many sportsmen and women find out just how much fun the sport is.

    Heck about a month ago I was on my way home from the cabin and I passed a boat in the shallows with an older gal in a one piece swim suit with one of those huge brim hats and she was holding a bow looking for fish…….My instant reaction was one of WOW is bowfishing becoming mainstream?

    Thanks Brian for posting the pictures!

    Sometimes we get lucky lol. You’d be amazed at the big ones we miss. Brian you were a great host and hopefully we can hold a tourney, or just a fish shooting get together there more often. I had never shot that section of river before this year, and I love it the more I shoot it. Hope to see you soon

    As my daughter is really getting into it this year, I’ve been finding the are a LOT of high school kids around here that are extreme die-hards with a bow. Been a fun year! I even had to take her bow and give one a smack down. Though, i need to quit now while I’m still shooting 100%
