Bow Fishing with Butch & Wendy

[iffakapiff]

i wish i can do that in estonia

[rsweekly]

dont shoot koi. whats that reel attachment called id really like to get my hands on one of them

[hoghunterdiva]

@rsweekly There are lots of Koi in our river area ( which is the head waters to this long river) and they are just fancy carp and need to be kept in check somewhat before over populating being an exotic species in native fisheries, but I think they're pretty also. The Reel is called a Retreiver Pro ( a bottle reel) and is sold by MUZZY.com or AMS. Good Fishing!

[DMANGUY14]

dude dont shoot koi, stick to garbage fish

[weaponman100]

jorgen92 says you spend the money on beer

[kutjeclit]

THATS A NICE WAY OF FISHING....5*

[kukilurarn]

dude i gonna have nightmares about the 2:40 fish xD

[benpwner]

what the hell was that fish at 2:40

[hoghunterdiva]

That was in the Guadalupe River and it's a Koi. There are lots of them in there! I think it was from left over bait goldfish and floods washing out peoples water gardens up river. Mat shot @ 10 of them last week. All different colors and markings.

Wild looking huh?

[BSlyBSly]

i just did a price check on a 30 inch Koi----$8,000.....you guys are shooting gold!....shame

[hoghunterdiva]

Darn good thing that fish was mounted for future prosperity. $8,000.00 huh? Sure wish I knew a buyer. One of our sons has shot over $100,000.00 worth. They are in the river here. Lots of them!

[BSlyBSly]

hell...i can probably get you a buyer. since i have friends in asia where they are sought after....i am sure to get someone interested....for a %%%:). the hard part is shipping it.

wendy,,whats the background music..it is zodico music? whos playing?

[hoghunterdiva]

It's a CD package of Zydeco and Cajun Greats. Seems it's getting really hard to find music thats not owned by Warner Music Group and they don't like to share here on youtube, so I use different types of music when I need to.

BTW, Howdy and hope to see you soon!

[citationxbjfv]

wendy whats the name of the music? seems like zideco?

[benpwner]

we are going to maby go this sunday, depending on this new cold front and whatever that other thing is that is coming. but did u go in the river with those people,and if u did how low is it?

[hoghunterdiva]

No, we fished South Shore and there wasn't much to shoot at. The wind was terrible!

[benpwner]

oh yea and a ton of spotted gar

[benpwner]

i bow fish at choak canyon and i have gotten one alligator gar and it was 5'2'' big and it tasted good. do yall fish in the river or in the lake? its ok if u dont tell me

[hoghunterdiva]

Oh, we fish everywhere in that lake and river. It depends o the wind mostly, and how bad it is that day. Good to see you here! Maybe we'll meet on the lake sometime. I just had 4 new shooters there last Thursday and it was ROUGH.Whitecapin bad.

[laminatingdog]

damm rednecks know how to hunt anything you dont eat?

the only things that would survive the day after tomorrow would be cockroaches and rednecks

[hoghunterdiva]

Dam straight! Git "Er Done! I haven't had so much fun in my life, till I turned redneck country folk, after living in the city all my life. Gotta love it! Keep Houston and I'll keep the country life, anyday. Freedom. LOL! Have a great day.

[archeeizm]

Yeah bud! I did the Dallas thing a few years Im in the sticks now and its great to listen to birds instead of sirens and rap "so called" music!

[whistlindixiebowfish]

great shootin!

[killer71000]

man im only 16 year old and i shooot BOUT 5 BIG FISHES WITH OUT BOAT AND I ONLY HAVE BOW FOR A WEEK

[monkeyhustlin]

Nice Beaver Wendy! Where was the big gar and koi taken at?

[hoghunterdiva]

The alligator gar was taken at Choke Canyon Reservoir (one came out this weekend 150lbs).

The Koi in the Guadalupe River out of Kerr county.

[ohyeah0369]

it is an alligator gar

[spoonlines]

That surely a big fish.. :)

[SK8ERFOR3V3R]

what type of fish was tht guy pulling an arrow out of in the beginning? it looked like a pallid sturgeon

[hoghunterdiva]

That my friend is an alligator gar! Mean things, but really good to eat. They get up to @ 300 lbs and look just like an alligator from the top, until you see scales & fins & no legs instead. They have real attitude. Nasty teeth too. Thanks for asking!

[StrekG]

so there good to eat was wondering if you could eat them thanx

[jaymac1022]

didnt know that thanks.

[jaymac1022]

are the catfish legal?

[hoghunterdiva]

Yes, until September 1st 2008.

[bigjess71]

Bowfishing is a blast I love it.

[clarkboy411]

is it lega to bwfish for trout...(im new) and

chubs fall under suckers?

[hoghunterdiva]

Check with your states Dept. of Natural Resources. Here,it's not legal as far as I know. They stock trout in the rivers but they don't live long, so it's not a species we see here in Texas and have the opportunity to harvest. I'd be great eating though.

[fragdmaster]

your eatin good lol

[vangsta206]

was that a qia

[hoghunterdiva]

Yep, it was a Koi. There are lots of them in the river here. Some from floods washing out ponds, and some have been released by people who didn't want to deal with them anymore. I have mixed feelings about shooting them myself. That one is at the taxidermy being mounted.

[hicks96w]

where was this shot?

[hoghunterdiva]

Texas.

[FishingRidingHunter6]

COOL :-)
