    I think it was more luck than skill, but I got this little bugger at about 30 feet. And it did not come from someone’s backyard pond!

    Its a bummer that we cant use those for bait…. I could see the Flats going crazy for something like that.
    Nice shot

    If people wouldn’t release their pets into the wild, they wouldn’t get arrows through them!

    I remember when Crystal lake was full of them. The Carnies would toss them into the lake when they left town after wiz bang days. Then the tiger muskies did a number on them.

    Ralph, did you get that one at webber creek?

    I must admit, I never considered bowfishing goldfish!

    Heck of a shot!

    That just looks like the perfect bait.

    Maybe…but I have to catch one first! And I won’t make out with a channel cat, it’s got to be a flathead.

    Just in case anyone was wondering, I contacted the DNR and it is perfectly legal to shoot koi and goldfish in the wild. Just stay away from your neighbor’s koi pond and his $200 koi!

    You got it! He actually put me in contact with the local fisheries office so they know about the killer goldfish.
