boombap Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 That's a massive crap! Carp! Whatever. I have never tried bowfishing and I'm not much of a hunter either (killing sparrows with my bb gun as a kid doesn't count) but I don't know how I feel about it.

OhioFisherman Posted July 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) I took my ex son in law and one of my best friends to Sandusky Bay for some early season smallie action years ago before they had a closed season on them. My son in law caught the first carp, on a tube, just guessing around 25 pounds. I got the second, on a tube around 35 pounds. My best friend's came last, also on a tube and I am betting it was close to 60 pounds, it dwarfed ours and looked bigger than the one in the link by a good deal. Early season and cold water, they are like hooking a freight train. You set the hook, line starts peeling off your spool and you follow them with the boat until they wear out or break light line. Not really a carp fan, but it is different after catching 1 - 3 pound smallies all day. Watching the commercial carp and buffalo netters in some areas was interesting too. They would string a net that seem to be a couple of hundred yards long out from shore by boat and bring it back to shore. Then wrestle carp into a slatted side barge about 8x16 until water was washing over the sides. Those guys got some real hogs.

If they ever "trap shoot flying carp" Im in. HAHA That would be so cool. Bow hunting carp is a sport to some,and I respect that. Their great fertilizer fish anyways.LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
