Sweet! And one less of those bigheads polluting our rivers. You're a pretty good shot hitting those skinny gar. Good show.

Man that is a Blast... I learned a lot today. I didn't know how the Bigheads swim because usually when I see them they're going over my boat or I'm ducking them. They seem to have a pattern swimming right now. They haven't started jumping yet, but I think there getting ready to. Once I took my first Gar things started to click..I can see this becoming a great sport and good practice during the summer.

AWESOME BigDuke! I am jealous! My plan was to hit the river when it came back to normal...that may be a while...so for you seasoned vets, where is a good place for a rookie to hit? I'm up here is Madison County near Edwardsville...:confused:

Nice shoot'n, I have the same setup. You have to watch those warhead tips. I have had about 10 big carp/buffalo spin off till I switched points.
