Looks like the silver fish were also biting! You can always count on the silver fish until you get to the last one.

Beav told me NLM, too! (Natty Lite Matters). He said they draw the line at the LGBPD crowd, though. Lovers of Grain Belt Premium Drinkers.
Looking forward to getting up there and doing that again, soon! One question, though. How many times did it take before Will figured out to shoot on “two and a half”?? ;-)

Now i know you didnt try to eat one of those Nasty, slimy , stankin bigheads!
But, otherwise, glad you stuck a bunch of them. We shot a bunch of them a few years back on the Ohio river n SW Illinois. Along with a pile of silvers. Nastiest fish alive!

We ate the hell out of them. Some of the best fish you can find. White and very firm meat.

Will told me it was the best fish he ever ate. Just a b!tch to bone out.

A real bitch but we have it down to where we can clean them boneless fairly quickly.

They don't look too difficult to fillet. Are they ????
Looks like a blast to shoot, though.

They just take some time to make boneless. Six rows of bones.

Looks like the best of times with some of the best people around. Can’t imagine the laughs and old jokes told over the weekend. I have to agree with Will amazing the meat quality of that fish. Hammertime !! Hunt

Made it back again to the river last week. Had a great few days on the water. My daughter connected with her best bighead carp of her bowfishing career.

Wowzer! That is a big one! I need to set aside time and come see you guys when the big heads are running! Looks like a total blast!

Beav, are the big ones as good to eat as the smaller ones? I have to believe the big ones would be easier to de-bone.
From: t-roy

Bou….They are delicious. I was skeptical when Beav told me how good they are, but he wasn’t lying! Very comparable to walleye or flatheads, IMO.

oTCwill was telling me about this trip and I’m m super jealous. Don’t worry he didn’t disclose any details, said he was sworn to secrecy. But I’m putting this on my bucket list, looks like too much fun!

Maddie's fish was mid 30's. Perfect cleaners are 20-30 IMO.
