WHAT DID YOU SHOOT IN THE SWAMP TONIGHT?

For us, it was GAR!!!

Took my good friend and his son out again tonight. Rain lately, so that wasn't helping anything, but tonight was his only opportunity. Sure enough, the rain basically shut down the carp spawn for the moment. On a brighter note, I saw two gar, and while we both drew on them and fired "on 3," only my arrows hit their targets. Thankfully, a boat of bowfishermen offered us their gar and a large carp, which was kind. It's amazing how much that rain changes things. I'd never hit back to back gar before, so that was a blessing. Can't wait to eat them!

Is this a fish? The lips are so narrow, they can be so big again. It is really a great thing. Father and daughter are enjoying very much.

This is a fish known as a "gar" or "garfish" - They are my favorite fish to eat.

Wow.
This is a very large needle fish.
Imagine if he could stab us in the water. Lol.

That would be very dangerous if they stabbed us. LOL

I really enjoy your photos. The elongate fish look so wonderful. You are really good at shooting fish @papa-pepper.

I am trying to learn to be a better bowfisherman. My aim was good last night, but there wasn't many fish out.

Hey man, how've you been? Clearly been awhile since I've been on Steemit

Hey! How have you been? We've been good! Seven Little-Peppers now and the homestead is growing. Got some free ducks today, without having to go duck hunting, LOL

I'm doing well! Thanks for asking. I've been an IT Recuiter for many years and work directly for Energi crypto ($NRG) recruiting blockchain developers. I'm also looking for personalities. Might be an opportunity for you. The little peppers are getting big, very cool to see. Congrats on the free ducks. The ducks will bless you for sure!
