My stepdaughter's first buffalo. 23.5 lbs, she missed about 200 fish that night so she was sure proud of the first one. Whitney was teeming with fish and bait of all types. This is the best condition Whitney has been in for many years.

Nice fish! It is nice to see young folks getting involved with bowfishing! I am sure she is realy hooked now!

Nice fish, looks like a nice rig as well!

McLovin is not a carper. Don't come blaming us when this explodes.

Nice fish.

No carp brigade in that signature, agree with him or not we didn't do it! That said, Nice fish, good eating size too. Love that proud smile.

Thanks Brewer. We put a lot of hard work into this boat.

look at the smile on her face, shes hooked.

Great to see someone enjoying the outdoors, instead of sitting infront of the television.

Good job now that's a proud young lady

Scott

I agree with fish killer.

Great picture !!

Its good to see the carp guys not going nuts about bowfishing around here lately !!

Congrats to her for having the fortitude of not giving up!!! I cant wait to see my son holding his first fish taken by bow.

Congrats to you Lawmann for helping your kids spend quality time in the outdoors! You will be proud when someday, she passes down to her kids what she learned from you.

Why would anyone go nuts about fish being harvested for food, as was the case with this Buffalo...right? They do taste very good by the way.

Thanks USA-1. I was worried she would get discouraged after missing so many fish on several different trips. I would guess around 600-800 missed fish at least.

Very nice rig on your boat....how are you powering the lights?

Honda EU2000I generator. 4 300 watt halogens with GE Ultra 225 bulbs. 12 feet of 120V LED rope lights under the bottom of the gunwales. All the ext cords are contained inside the pipe fixtures and run under the front deck to the generator. Here are some pics.

that is a sweet rig

Thanks Big Ted, our own TFF'r Catfishsalsa won it in a catfish tourney and I bought it from him. The entire interior is covered with spray on bed liner that is camo. I have no idea how Triton does it.

Nice Rig and Nice Fish!

next step is to camo the generator?? lol.. thanks for the pics!

"Its good to see the carp guys not going nuts about bowfishing around here lately !!"

Lets not start this again. The little lady got a heck of a fish and is persistent as heck. Two things to congratulate Lawmann and family for. Don't disrespect them by instigating on his thread. I only hope my own kids have the tenacity to keep trying when they are not catching. It speaks volumes about her character and it will serve her well in years to come. The sign of a good mother and father, no matter they catch their fish!

Right on!!! Hell of a fish. Congrats to your daughter. I love it! Your rig is badas$

Man, it is so much nicer over here than on the OT board.

I have thought about that but I keep picturing in my mind spray painting an 850.00 generator. If the Krylon Fusion stuff works as good as I have heard I may do it.

Well done lawmann, may need to make another trip to Whitney, last years trip was heck. Water so high we fished in the parking lots, drove right over the barracades.

Nice One!

wow... i never been on a boat structured for bow fishing. That is sweet. You take guests?

Yep I do. With my odd work schedule it's just hard to plan anything more than a few days in advance. It is a learning experience for anyone who has not been out at night on a bowfishing boat. The numbers of fish are in the thousands.
