Frankenfish!

Imagine, a fish that can live out of water for 72 hours.  Creates more slime than the Ghostbusters ever had to endure.  Has the skin and flexibility of a snake.  Eyes so far forward on its head that it looks more reptilian then fishlike.  Razor sharp teeth that blend in to the white 'cottonmouth' ready to grab and hold.

Not only that, but they are great parents! They protect their young at all costs enabling their species to grow at overpowering rates.

And lastly, they have invaded our nation's capital just minutes downriver from where the great George Washington used to live and harvest the spawning shad each year.

That is the snakehead.

Stingrays...and more!

June 9th marked the date of the stingray and skate portion of the quest for the slam.  Below is a short video (5 minutes) explaining the equipment used and some action shots of the hunt.  This is just a little low budget vid of what the actual dvd segments will cover.  Enjoy!

Couple of Packages

Had a couple of packages come in over the past few days.

First, Cajun Archery sent in a small arsenal of arrows consisting of Yellow Jackets tipped with the Garpoon tip and the Piranha tip.  Also had 3 of the Hornet Lite bowfishing arrows tipped with the Piranha included.  A hat, shirt, and hoodie to wear while on the quest.  4 rolls of bowfishing line (2 x 200# and 2 x 400#).  Some bowfishing arrow nocks and a Zebco 808 big game bowfishing reel.  Nice!

Then, not to be outdone, PSE Archery ponied up with the PSE Wave bowfishing bow.  And I had never noticed before, but the blue 'camo' is actually fish skeletons.  Now to get it set up in time for Snakeheads on the Potomac!
