Was reading this story this morning, epic.

the craxy thing is its not even a compound bow or actually reel, like the guys use on carp and on tv.

a recurve bow, with a hand line spool.

the scales on it are massive, and the head and teeth are just crazy

Like the saying goes:

Don't mess with Texas!

About as sporting as shooting a cow in a field. What a waste. Like the sturgeon, they should be protected.
