GIANT CARP bowfishing with @UnGuidedOutdoors

Well it's May 23rd and if anyone knows anything about bowfishing that means it is the spawn
for all sorts of carp. So I got a very spontaneous call from the Unguided Boys like hey
we're in South Dakota, we're going to be tomorrow, get your butt up here and come
bowfishing with us. So Riley and I are heading up, we're going to be there in about an hour
and we are going to stay up all night long and hopefully shoot just a ton of carp.
So meet up with them, jump on the boat and grab some energy drinks.
Hello. Hello. Where are we going to meet? I'm going to be there in about an hour.
Just grab it right now at the boat ramp. Say that again.
I said it could be the best night of bowfishing that we experience all year.
Really? Like and that's us. Yeah I mean that's like I'm not saying you I'm saying like us and
we're going to go way more than you and that's what JJ's saying. Really? All right well sounds
good. Thank you. All right bye. Kyle says it's going to be the best bowfishing night of his life.
I need a photo of that. This is unbelievable. Yeah dude this is like this is fantastic.
Beautiful. What do you think does Parker right next to you? Really? It's the weirdest. How did
you guys find an Airbnb here? Got the boat set up. Mission Hammer. It's his second debut.
This is still Louisiana mud. I mean that was a fun trip though. It was fun but hopefully
tonight should be way way better. Have you told the camera yet? Yeah I recorded our phone call.
Good. Almost Riley put the camera down right when you started saying it's going to be the best day
of our life. That's why I said re-say that please.
Dude every time I walk my eyes water so bad dude. It's so bad. All right well we made it out here.
We're with the young guided boys and what we're going to be targeting is common carp but supposedly
there are some giants out here on this lake so this water is so clear. It is so calm. I think
it's going to be an unreal night so we'll see if we can get in the fish or not. A big thing with
shooting common carp like this is they're super invasive and they really destroy a lot of habitat
so it's good that we're coming in here. We're hopefully going to shoot a bunch of them
and clean it out. What's a good analogy for what they do? They just tear up the banks and
they ruin it for all the game fish, bass, walleye, stuff like that.
Like when they spawn they're so destructive. This is so clear.
First one. That is a toad.
Kyle freaking slipping in there. That's a hawk. You know what's funny is they're like
like twice as big here. Really? No way. He's probably 25 pounds. This is literally the
first fish of the night. I missed it, JJ missed him and Kyle's like move out of the way and freaking
20 pounds. Yeah, they get twice this size. Oh, I'm gonna die. Yeah, that's a fat fish and she
looks way bigger than what you think it is. My hands are dirty. We're gonna shoot some toads.
That was sweet. That's wild.
That's a giant.
Dude, that was a chip.
Dude, that thing's a dinosaur. That's unbelievable.
That's wild.
Dude, I can't imagine bigger than that. Nice.
That's a lot.
Wow. Big fish. Really?
No way. Look at those scales, man. That's wild. Oh my goodness.
That's wild.
Good?
Oh, that is a long sucker. Wow.
What?
This is wild. Hey, this is this is wild.
Oh, kill it. Kill it. Kill it. Nice. I don't eat chunky.
Oh, that was a nice one. That's a nice one.
Practicing. Just practicing aiming.
Oh, right here. Oh, man. That was a good size one.
Oh, no.
Oh, right there. Yep. Yep. Three, two, one. Oh, JJ got him.
That is what we're here for.
Man, so we are getting in them and oh, geez.
I think we just shot the biggest one of the night so far.
An absolute hammer. 30 on the dot. That's the biggest one, right? Yeah.
30 pounder.
What we're trying to do is we're trying to find the big ones, the big females, and
they're kind of, I think, we're thinking they're tucked up in these crazy cattails,
so we're not seeing a whole lot of them.
There's one right there. Got it, right? Yep.
JJ is just on it. Oh my goodness. That's another hammer.
Not a bad one. It's crazy the amount of bugs. It's toned down a little bit right now,
but earlier it was like so crazy. It was like looking through strobe lights,
but we're getting into some big girls and they're in this like super thick nasty stuff
and it's just really hard to see them and find them because they're so tucked up and hidden.
You gotta weigh that one. I'm doing bad.
I know. You gotta remember they're giant and they're not moving and they're just sitting there.
Back up for JJ.
They almost missed them though. Yeah, right there.
No, you're good. I didn't even see it.
Oh my goodness. You all right?
I think we have a new record. That might be a new record, yes.
32.5. Biggest fish of the night so far. We're just big fish hunting at this point.
It's unreal the amount of fish we're passing, just 10, 15 pounders, but if we're shooting
the 10, 15 pounders as we go by, all the big girls will just be right there when we have
all of our arrows out. We're getting in them. It's weird. It's like pockets. We'll be like,
oh, fish, fish, fish, fish, and then we'll drive like a long ways and not really see much.
That's not a bad one. Oh, right there. Not bad. Long guy. Oh, that's not a bad one right here,
Riley. That's a good one. Good one. There we go. There we go. Come on. Yeah, that's a good one.
Ready, Riley? Yep. That's a good one. That's a bad one.
Dude, those are both studs though. Look at that. Dude, I am struggling.
Look at that stud. That's a big fish. That might be one of my bigger ones. Yeah, no doubt.
That's not bad. Not bad. All right, well, it's the next morning. We ended up fishing until
2.30, 3 o'clock last night. We shot a pile of fish, but today what we're going to try to do
is get into... Hey, I'm trying to get Kyle. We're going to try to get into some spawning
carp up in the shallows during the day, so we'll see. I've never really done this before. These
guys have never really done it before, so we'll see what we get into. Look at that. Not over it
this time. Back barrels? First one of the morning. Oh, that was a smoke. Where was that last night?
Man, we're really getting in them already. We've gotten in like pockets and like five will shoot
out, and they're just being so skittish. I owe these guys like a thousand dollars worth of these
heads. I've lost quite a few of them. So skittish. We're just trying to find the right one that wants
to play the right game. Oh, that was a good shot.
This is why we're here.
Look at this guy. Just fat.
