My brother has been shooting a lot of gar since they legalized crossbow fishing in TN.

I got a few of those, but no big ones. We see 6ft down here pretty regular. This is a just a compound now. I'd hate to have to pull an arrow out of a cypress stump that came out a crossbow.

I hear that. He doesn't have his reel mount yet so he is tying the line to a boat cleat. We don't have too many stumps to worry about around here.

I tried to talk hubs into setting one up a while back for me. He said sure but I was buying my own arrows. Nope. I'd lose two every trip at least.

Pretty sure Academy Sports carries the reels now. At least ours does

The reels are easy to come by. He has one from his compound set up. The mounts for crossbows are the tricky part. I told him I would machine him a mount at my buddies shop but I haven't got around to it.

They fish out of a Bullet bass boat that they just got. Those Bullets are crazy light so a 3 ft gar can pull them around pretty easy.
 
Yea. We use a 16 or 17 foot aluminum boat. Flat front, not v. It's around 6 foot across. Hubs fully decked it and built mounts and railings. Flood lights mounted all around. Just troll through the shallows. It's awesome. I only started going bc he'd be gone 3 or 4 nights in a row and Id get bored sitting at home. First few trips I brought a Nintendo DS and sat in the back. Lol

Awesome! My dad is in the market for one of those big commercial flat bottoms. That's the way to go if you don't need tournament speed.
 
quick tl/dr, but I flat busted a magician last night.

At a get together and this magician was walking around doing all these tricks, somewhat like David Blaine, but not. So he is messing with all these people and comes over to our group. Ladies are giggly. Drunk men are fired up. But I'm scoping the joint out cause I'm not drinking my buddy just gave me his one hitter. So the magic man is doing this, look here, look here thing and everybody is looking at his left hand. All I was thinking was, "these hand movements are a distraction". So I lean back and see that he hands something behind his back to a guy walking by who goes @ 15 feet away and puts a sheet of paper in a beer bottle, then walks away. I saw it. Magician saw me see it. We make eye contact while he still has 7 people in a trance looking at something in his left hand and he says "iknowyousawthatdontsayanything" in @ 1 second as he turned his head to me. I told him his ventriloquism was better than his magic. He had a girl grab the bottle and they all freaked out when her signed name was in it.
 
How far south are you? Are those fawkin gators moving North?

I'm right in the center. We hunt down around Americus though. We have a few where I'm at but only in the river.

I'm not going in that river. There was a flood a while back. Caskets from a cemetery ended up in it.

Good! Kill all those bastages before they move into TN. I hate gators
 
I was cleaning the lint out my belly button and applied a little too much pressure and it caused my jimmy to jump.
