- Quinn and Rich are hitting the river again for a high-energy, action-packed bowfishing adventure. They discuss how you can get into the sport of bowfishing for little cost and show you that it doesn't take much gear to get started.

I’m 15 me and my best friend recently bought a 16 foot job boat and we already had our elk hunting bows that we set up with ams reels and we spent our life saving on this boat and ended up shooting over 1000 Buffalo carp and 500 carp just this year we’ve never had so much fun in our lives thank you for getting me into bowfishing and I love your videos keep it up
Start selling fish! You could make the money back for the boat in a couple years for 10-20$ per fish, times that by 1500 (750 for 10$ and 750 for 20$) and you get 22.5k, that is if you get good fish. Selling fish is a good way to make money! Even if you only get 11.2k a year that is still very good! You make money and hang out with your Best Friend, what could be better?
If you split it it's still 6.6k a year. If you get 16875$ per year that is still very good, do that for a couple of years and you got a good apartment, if you both work jobs you can also rent an apartment and all that jazz, it is a fun activity and you make sustenance from it. You lose no fun and can secure a better savings account.
Grenna Green boss where are u from I don’t know anyone who would buy carp around here
@@BoaresAddja $10-20 per fish, for carp? And a good apartment for $16k a year? Firstly, bowfishing will leave a hole in fish, not good for the meat to say the least, plus you would need to keep them on ice etc to keep quality. And the fact its carp....
@@stephencooper9753 I really dont know anything about Carp since they are not here where I am.
@@BoaresAddja So you just assumed they are worth $10 - 20 each? :-) Yeah, not likely to get much at all for them for meat. Some places use them for fertilizer, and while a few people eat them, they are unlikely to pay much at all for it, seeing as how they are so plentiful usually.
Thanks for making your local river a little bit nicer for the native fish species.
reminds me of good times when I bowfished with my cousin Eddie..thanks for a good video.
I'm 12 and I bought an AMS Retriever over the summer and I just bowfish from land. I shot my first Asian carp from a local pond.
ams is the best.if it ant ams i dont go on my bow

+Richard Allen No, I live in Indiana.

Hi I like your videos got a recurve bow and drum reel going to start I live in Tennessee can't wate to see new videos keep up the good work
Can't wait to get into bow fishing. Thanks for the ideas!
I could watch this all day
Watched it, great stuff! Just the idea of being out there on beautiful day and having fun together, man that is the best. Makes me look forward to Spring Turkey Hunting. Since the hunt is only allowed till noon, I usually spend the afternoon fishing. Can't wait! Turkey hunting in exciting, you should both go out and film it. Would make a great video!
We might sometime...good to hear from you. Hope all is well.
realhuntingtv how heavy are your bows
I like you guys so far from what I've seen and you guys make me want to go bowfishin so keep it going and teach me more.
I also shouldn't of watched this with all the rivers and creeks frozen over.. I can't wait for spring!!!
You dont really need to bowfish off a boat.
If you cant afford one you can just look for a shallow spot near shore that is sunny. Carp love to come up in the shallows to "sun" during the warmest part of the day.
Great video. With 3 foot of snow on the ground I shouldn't have watched this. Now carp fever is setting in. Hey Quinn don"t Richs white legs blind you at times? Good shooting men! Cant wait for your tournament video! You two have made huge improvements in shooting!
Good shooting!! I like the intro about the boat and gear!!
Thanks,
Tim
Sick video! Looks like loads of fun. I'm going to look into getting a rig.
That's a great video I would love to get into a bunch of carp like that
Awsome video I've been doing this sort of thing since I was 7 and I'm 11 now I just got a diamond archery infinite edge pro and it is the best for hunting fish,small game ,deer and a lot of other animals.
This is so surprisingly enjoying to watch, I really wanna do this once!
this is the most American thing I've ever watched haha
+Lawrence Smith The indegenous peoples around the world who have practiced this for eons might disagree.
+Dirk Mcgriff this is for sport they don't eat the carp my guess is they use it for fertilizer.
dank jr I understand that is most likely the case, though some actually do eat carp.
love to see more of this, awesome video!
Really great video, thanks for the explanation guys , looks like was really fun time.
Nice video! I used to bowfish about 35 years ago. Looks like I need to get back in it!
I really enjoyed watching this video! You guys were just out there for fun, which is what I like to see! Keep up the good work, and thanks for making this video! And when you said go out with your bow and an old pair of shoes, that's what I always do! :D
Thanks for watching and good luck this season.
Thanks!! you too!!
did you guys mount your fishing reel to the bow?
"This pike is looking at him like 'what that he'll just happened"😂😂😂...great video, great team
Need more bowfishing videos! I am just getting into the sport, and I've watched all your bowfishing videos. Thanks for the vids!!!
Thanks for watching.
I enjoyed your video! I have done carp fishing in the past and would love to get back into it.
Awesome video. Really enjoyed it..!
I've watched this video many times.....it is one of the most entertaining and enjoyable one you guys have....ever hunt silvers or bigheads???
Good to see u guys back to uploading videos
Thanks, getting caught up on some footage over the winter.
Great video hope y’all still out doing this kinda thing. Bowfishing on a budget is my motto lol can’t afford much but I get fish all the time walking the banks or wading in the wetlands.
When landing them I noticed u guys have a lot of fish falling off the arrow, you should use a gaff. I use that and it's very effective and doesn't take up as much space as a net. Great video!
Is there anything I should look for or avoid when buying a bow for fishing? And can I use a fishing bow for general target shooting when I'm not fishing?
Awesome trip! Can't wait to do sth like that in the future. :-D Thanks for the video.
New Drinking Game: Watch this video and do a shot everytime you hear "Nice shot Rich!"
RhinoKincaid u tryna kill me m8?
You guys are amazing shots..... Really enjoyed the video. I have a bow and Im now kind of thinking about doing this soon. Great job guys!!!
I've never seen someone so talented at loosing fish right at the boat.
Fa real lol dam I started felling like I was losing 🐟
Great video! I like using 65lb braid.
Nice arrow retrieval also
What do you do with the carps after?
awesome, I am going soon for the first time.
This video is damn near therapeutic to watch.
I have purchased a reel and reel seat and a reel and is the small extention necessary? And what pound test do you recommend?
G'day, do you have any advice for beginners ?
I've watched bow fishing on video like this, but not everyone has calm, shallow estuaries to play in. I really appreciate the low budget approach but can it also be applied to other target species ?
what type of reels work best on bows for example, and can a bow be used to launch bait from the shore line ? to fish for salt water species?
This is awesome! I have a friend who lives on the river, so this could be possible for me!
What do you do with them; compost/garden?
FINNALY NEW VIDEOS YES THANK OU GUY SO MUCH I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL THE BEST OF ALL OF THEM
Thank you.
your welcome your gizes show is great and im just starten out and i love the advice ive been hunting for maybe four years now and i would love to do some bow fishing your pa hunter ,zack
hey guys I know this is an old video however, how do you guys feel about building a diy arrow from a 5/16 fiberglass driveway stake?
What kind of bows are you using and what do they draw weight and length
Love your guys bowfishing videos. Keep making more.
We will. Thanks.
How do you guys feel about using sights bowfishing? ive heard some do and some dont
What is your favorite line to use with a Zebco 808? Power Pro? Monkey Wire? What lb test?
What do you do with the fish once you get them
Alright! I havent seen it yet but looking forward to this video!
Dont know if u said it and i missed it but whats the draw weight on the bows you use?
Awesome vid and great balance
How do you connect the fishing reel to the bow
Man I loved the video. I was thinking it was to much to get into but thanks to you guys now I know I can get into it. What do you guys do with the fish?
would 60lb draw weight be a little too much?
Great vid @realhuntingtv I was wondering what line you use on the 808? And also what state are you in?
Do you have any ideas with how to dispose of your barrel of fish when you're done? Thats my biggest challenge figuring out right now... thanks!
Great video. I am new and just bought a reel for my bow it's a reel that you have to pull in by hand. How do you connect those reels to your bow. I have a Mathews mission craze
great video, nice shooting, editing and thank God you didn't feel the need to play music the entire video
A side people need to consider is the simple fact that hunting is not only either sport/fun or food. Some people, like myself and these men, are shooting primarily trash fish. In my area, we kill Gar and Carp (and carp fish IE buffalo, asian carp) Gar are a toothy long nose fish that dominate eco systems. If not pulled from the water, they will kill the eco system. Theyre like a sharks in a guppy tank. That is not an exageration to make a point.
Furthering the issues of gar, they eat anything. That means all the game fish too. Walleye, bass, catfish, rare paddlefish, therer own, they don't care.
Carp eat nonstop, focusing on algae and moss. Thats good, but in the extreme numbers these fish reach, they will eat it all and ruin the natural filtration of the stream or pond.
So I, and a small group of econauts with spend all summer pulling these fish out of the water by bow, net and line, killing them quickly and and tossing them back in to promote the growth of our dwindling catfish populations. Numbers come back over winter and spring and we go back at it.
Good essay .
A a
"Trash fish" that sums up the type of person you are
No, that is the name for these types of fish. They trash the ecosystem. Don't twist my words to prove your point
Colton Norman Agreed, my first job was at the NFWS training center under the YCC, they taught us all about the invasive species in the area and we even got to go electric fishing! These people that piss and moan about harming animals just don't get that most of us actually know what these species are doing to the environment and we are actually encouraged to keep the population in control. (Well, in some areas near me at least.)
cant wait for summer, me and my buddy tucker have the same set up. nothing better than two buddies slayin carp in the river!
We agree.
Thinking about trying bow fishing. I already own a compound bow for hunting. Would I be able to use that bow for fishing too? An any tips for someone new getting into this type of fishing?
Great video guy I hope you can do more
I wanna give it a try there's a great carp spot 10 min from my house but what do do with all the shot fish?
I know this is an old video but for anyone finding it late like me, another good alternative to a boat would be a paddle board, you can usually find them cheap and they are made to stand up on. Just tie a bucket to the front and get a long pole or stick and your good to go.
do you use a sight for bowfishing?
Thanks
cool love how she play the violin
Even if your just starting out I would seriously recommend getting the AMS Bowfishing reel. It is well worth the money and will last forever. Faster reloads,more reliable string, no tingling line or any non-sense that takes time away from shooting.
We've tried the AMS and prefer spinners. Both are good systems.
Hey can you send me a personal video on how to attach a fishing reel to a bow? What did you use for line, arrow, and the arrowhead?
Also how can I tell what is a good bow on craigslist because I have no idea.
Good job guys!!!!!! Super!!!!!
do you need to aim high or low to compensate for the refraction of the water? ive never tried this but would really like too though im not that good with a bow
Megalixer84 low. also depth of the fish comes into play. the more you do it, the better you get at guessing the depth of the fish, and knowing how low to shoot.
What type of short rod do you have attached to your bow?
Do you eat any of them or how do you dispose of them if you don’t? I know some aren’t very good.
What river are you two on because I live in Michigan and I just what a few bow fishing spots around where I live in flint
We have decided to not mention our locations anymore. When we do we get a LOT of company. Do a search on the Michigan Sportsman forums and I bet you'll find some info about places to bowfish in your area.
one way or another i can start bowfishing without a boat i know how to and where to get the gear, my issue with starting bowfishing which i was to do, what am i going to do with the fish, i dont eat fish often and i dont know how to cook fish, im used to catch and release fishing so if i dont want the fish what am i going to do with the fish
What kind of cameras were you guys using to film this video and where can I get one? Thanks...
Um I have a problem I don't like to eat carp after I kill them what should I do with them? What do you do with them?
glad your back guys can't wait to see more videos
Thank you.
Awesome vid guys
What do you guys do with the carp you shoot? I am new to the sport
Hi! Would you mind telling me what river this was on?
You guys are Some FISHKILLERS! awesome Vid!
Looking to get into bowfishing what do you suggest for a bow and reel
What do you do with the fish you keep
Hey there, ive recently purchased a compound bow.. should of probably watched this video before hand and just looked for a second hand one instead of buying brand new but im happy.
I was wondering, how i would install a reel onto my bow ?
I mean, wouldnt it effect the accuracy by throwing it off balance and etc ?
Thanks for the comment, unfortunately its of no use to me now as i found out i got the wrong information and bowfishing in my state here in Australia is actually illegal in any shape or form!
Ahh, i am sorry to hear that. So crazy how youtube can connect the world like it does. I'm from Illinois and we've heard our government has spent $80milion this year to kill these carp. If you ever come to the states shoot me a message and we will get you on some fish. Have a great day
Thanks mate, appreciate that alot!
Goodluck in the future!
Can you bow fish from a canoe?
Right now I bought a compound bow for 265 just looking for a reel and what not to complete my setup.
Thanks for some of the ideas
We have bowfished from a canoe. Spread your feet wide for stability.
What do you guys do with these carp you kill?
I love bowfishing im 13 and ive been fishin sence i was 6 my dad started fishin with a troller and then a fanboat and now we have a airboat i dont live on the river but we find somewhere to go fishin and i love it. Also another place to look for bowfishin equipment is bowfishing swap and shop
what do you do with the fish that you shoot?
Free bait i guess
When you aim do you aim high or low or dead on when they are a few few under the water ?
About 3 inches or so low per every foot or two of depth depending on your set up. Trial an error man
you guys did great on this vid keep it up
Just subscribed and do you guys know how to eqiup a reel to an older recurve bow that was made in the 1950s i live in colorado so iv got imited fisb to bowfish so please give me tips
I got a question. I can shoot carp all day but rarely actually get to bring them in. I got one in last night and found out that my arrow is blowing a 2 inch hole through entry and a 3 inch hole on exit so they fall off before I get them up. Is that normal or is there anything I can do to minimize impact damage and still bring them.up?
Are you shooting a stingray tip
Jacob Morris I am now. Sorry it took so long to reply. The impact difference is amazing.
what r u guys using for line realhuntingtv
how dont the fish spoil/ what do u do with them i love fishing but donnt no how to setup a bowfishing bow...if i did id have one
They are eradicating carp from river a junk fish
Great vid, but what do you do with all those carp?
so what did you guys do with all of the carp you shot? cause over here we just throw them away.
Sorry if it has already been asked but what river are you guys on?
