Well it's a long story but, I didn't get a turkey cause they outsmarted me so I

decided it would be a good time to take the bowfishing kit out for the first time. I

was able to get John and Patrick to come. So we stopped about 1/2 a mile off
Well it's a long story but, I didn't get a turkey cause they outsmarted me so I

decided it would be a good time to take the bowfishing kit out for the first time. I

was able to get John and Patrick to come. So we stopped about 1/2 a mile off

from the ponds and hiked in.

When we got to the ponds John and Pat were catching bluegills right and left.

I knew my success wouldn't be that great but I made a goal to myself to shoot

at least one good sized bluegill. I knocked my arrow and shot at the first small

bluegill. Missed and I think that happened about 27 to 35 times before finding a

bluegill that looked like a monster! I drew and guessed where I should aim... He

was facing me but going lower to where he almost disappeared and I figured "it's

now or never" so I released the arrow and the string moved about 2 feet in the

water I knew something good happened! I pulled the line up and the biggest

bluegill I have ever seen was on my arrow and boy was I glad. I had finally

succeeded in sticking a fish with my bow and taking a waste-fish out of the pond

to!
