“With no strength left because of my mad dash it took every thing I had to pull my bow back at 40 yards. I killed him with my second shot. If I had more time I would tell you about running out of day light, running back up the mountain for my backpack, almost breaking my neck, hiking off the mountain in the dark, passing out twice, plus many many other scary but exciting adventures on our way back to camp.” –Shane Yearian Field & Stream Online Editors
“After missing a few i finally hit this one. It took us over half an hour to get it into the boat. When we hung it on my scale we determined it weighed 53 pounds (the scale only goes up to 50 pounds but it wrapped around to the 3 again).
“About a month later my best friend told me he had read on the Massachussetts wildlife page that the state record for carp was 44 pounds and that carp could be taken with bow and arrow for the record. Boy I sure wish I could had that fish back to turn it in. Oh well I know where there are more for next year!” –Jason Canaday Field & Stream Online Editors
