[SaigaKush]

[Dbroncos66]

Get Back

[yigitguducu]

good job

[iopghjk001]

that water is nasty

[SOILLINBIGCOUNTRY01]

was this at Horse Lake down by Cairo? Thats what it looks like. I think I know exactly where this is at. If it is that water is full of cotton mouths i killed 3 of them down there a long time ago. And no they where not regular water snakes they where cottonmouths. And the had big ol fangs on em

[mikelang15]

way to waste the fish you should "get back!" to your senses

[DumbBassBob]

Hey PAL, these are an invasive species that need removed from our water by any means possible. If you are so smart you should know that. Idiot.

[michiganoutdoorsmen]

hey way 2 tell him! nice vid!

[asmodia14]

really i shoot carp all the time and removing them via bow is the funnest way ive found

[xxdylanxscreamxx]

@DumbBassBob the bowfin he shot is not an invasive species.

[xxdylanxscreamxx]

@DumbBassBob only one fish he shot in this video is an invasive. the first fish is a common carp(invasive) second fish bowfin/dogfish(native) third fish bigmouth buffalo(native) so if you were smart you would know this.

[bierbierbier86]

Do you eat them or just kill them?

[laxitup14]

theyre junk fish, but you can sell them to china, they eat em

[headshot12212]

we shoot up to fifty a night and farmers buy them for alot

[notchitown]

Hell yeah, southern IL is great for bowfishin. I use to bowfish in Carlyle. Lots of big dogfish, buffalo, gar and carp.

[bowman321123]

Love the video, great music! Laughed all the way through the video,"Get Back!Get Back!". Dog was sure having a great day. Good shooting, have fun.

[dukenukem252]

[DumbBassBob]

some of both...

[killer71000]

[DumbBassBob]

DUDE, I love my dog, and expect it to listen...I don't like judgmental people though...

[rengoku8]

[snowmobilerules]

[JustMyVids01]

LOL!!! I totally relate to the Lab!! LOL!! I posted a video response.....not sure how that works....first time I tried, but my crazy lab is with me bowfishing too. Thought you'd relate.  "GET BACK!!" LOL!! Nice Shootin...and vids....I need one of those "Hat Cams"......From-JustMyVids01

[bensonboy989]

man ur a good shot...i've tried shooting carp off of bridges and walls and its a lot harder to judge the shot from up high so miss about 99% of the time

[chrischerry249651]

think i might get in to the sport how hard is it to reel them in with the bow

[DumbBassBob]

Not too tough w/ 200 - 400 lb test LOL... harder to hit em than reel em in...

It is a creek that drains into the Kaskaskia River...

[bparkhunting]

awesome. love the hat cam.

check my videos out sometime.

[driveuhappy777]

great video,

[Johnnyt0928]

jeez thats like a swamp ......but wherever the fish are swimmin

[centraltiger15]

is that clear creek?

[k94grd08]

how the hell are you seeing the fish????

[DumbBassBob]

go swear at some who cares. I didn't do anything to you. I've caught more fish on a hook than you can imagine. and I like shooting trash fish too. you may also note I'm a good shot... come see me on the bank!

[THExGOODxLIFE307]

how do you see the fish in that water?

[DumbBassBob]

@THExGOODxLIFE307

You see their lips sucking the crap off the top. They feed on that nasty scum. Then you just aim low and let it go...

[lifestudent55]

Looks like your retriever wants to help retrieve your carp for you. The hat cam really helps.
