So we took my sons friend with us who has never been bowfishing and I wanted to teach him how fun it could be before actually getting a bow in his hands . Wanted to see if he would really be into the challenge before worrying my about the safety aspect of having 2 boys in the boat shooting at the same time . Anyway, I couldn’t keep them in the boat so I guess he is ready for the next trip with a bow in his hand

Running the big motor in the shallows on plane with underage kids not wearing a PFD? I'm all about getting the kids out and enjoying the great outdoors, but safety should come first. Sorry to be the downer of what appears to be a great trip.

thanks for your reply , and I understand your comment , both boys are over 13 and only my boy was on plane without wearing one. this was the very first time we were in a boat since he turned 13 and he has been waiting for the day when the law and his parents didnt make him wear it . but anytime we are in deeper water I still require him to even though he is legal now. But thanks for your comments and I didnt take it as a downer at all , I am excited my youngest kid is finally a teenager

It’s really flaky white meat like crappie But we did not keep them this trip
I put water , ice and a air bubble pump on them in the cooler to keep them alive
I never ate them until we lived in Baton Rouge for a bit and learned how to clean them from the locals
Actually a really good fish to eat Just harder to clean than most fish
They have back straps like deer along their backbone Pretty neat once you learn how to clean them

Looks like a blast. I’ve got 15 yo and 13 yo girls. They love bowfishing!
It's only a good cast if you catch a fish... Personal Best: 11.62 lbs

There are multiple species of Gar that do NOT require reporting. The three in the still picture with the catfish look to be Needle Nose or Longnose Gar. I believe they released the Alligator ones unharmed. This is the link that gives you the options on reporting, it is part of the TPWD handbook. Reporting
