Slingbow Fishing Catch & Cook Sucker Fish- Day 24 of 30 Day Survival Challenge Maine Lockdown

Slingbow fishing has been on my bucket list for a long time. But today i got a hot tip from my old apprentice and i'm headed out to slingbow some suckers for a catch and cook since i have never eaten a sucker before and the remains will make great bait for my lobster traps.

[@kirstinice2907]

It was nice to see Chris. I sure hope you two collaborate more in the future. I really enjoy the relationship and how much fun you guys have.

[@06denedra]

I agree ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@allenbishop9154]

Along with the water deflecting the flight of the arrow, there is also the refraction of the water, meaning you have to aim, as you found out, much lower than the eye sees.... good video!

[@ADVENTUREKM]

Yes I agree I was going to comment that as well. I use to go spear fishing for suckers.

[@mccoobs]

agreed

[@crazycoyote1738]

Even when spear fishing with scuba gear, we have the same problem in the water.

[@sidamarali3030]

The point,I think, is the angle of attack, I mean the angle at which the arrow hits thecwater. A 30 to 60 degree angle would alter the path of the arrow. Aiming at an 80 to 90 degree would be better. There is also the material of the arrow coming into play. A wooden arrow would be less efficient. A meatal thinner one would be more efficient.

[@usernamemykel]

@@sidamarali3030 That's NOT the point. The issue is the "refraction" of light because of the water.

[@jfo1534]

I really like seeing these genuine people socialize in a humble way.

[@jokerzgamingzone3965]

Is it just me or does everyone enjoy a good Fowler stick breaking montage LOL I love hearing the *snap *snap *snap

[@brantfowler5851]

Jokerz Gaming Zone I love it

[@ksk5664]

YeeHaw!

[@rahmann999]

Slingbow is a pretty cool thing! I'm watching every episode too

[@smudolinithegreatdragobear2433]

best part of the whole video for me...

[@grampa_ahah]

Love the stick snapping.

[@dwighthires3163]

Actually the water does not deflect the direction of the arrow as much as water diffracts light waves as they pass through water so that you must always adjust your aim low depending on the depth of the water and the angle of the shot. It is an art that is learned with practice thus the benefit of all the shooting at the can.

[@stellaraddict]

Love the sounds of the peeper frogs. Reminds me of being up north on the lake in the spring (Ontario). Great night episode!

[@samehkhayat7695]

Yay, I finally saw someone loves eggplants. so many recipes you can do with them. Awesome job Fowler as usual

[@tristanblake5349]

The arrows don't go high, it's actually the error of parallax. It make the object seem like it's higher in the water column, so when bow fishing you always have to aim low

[@MACISUS]

Watching every episode. I just want to weigh in on aiming in water. It’s actually more about the refraction of light that forces you to aim lower than you’d think. 😀

[@troybranaman316]

For sucker we grind the filet with our meat grinder and make them like salmon patties. . They run here in Indiana in the spring too . Great for bow fishing . Take care and God bless!!

[@HowlingWheelsAdventures]

Your channel is definitely better than Netflix.. we watched every episode of all your 30 days challenges... great stuff man..

[@sparkrain3580]

I would have never thought, that i would enjoy it so much, watching three adults sitting together and eating fish. Love from Germany!

[@mikeroos600]

refraction, put a pencil in a clear glass of water for a visual aid.

[@corbit99]

thats exactly what I was going to say. An object will always appear higher than it is if you're not looking 90deg into the water

[@walterbaker5114]

Practice, practice, practice. Proved to be the key in the adventure. Great show and then to have professional critics to evaluate the main meal. AWESOME!!!!!!!

[@samquintus7336]

I like how everyone keeps asking why Chris got fired and then on video it shows him showing up two and a half hours late for this fishing Adventure! Starting to become clearer now. All the same, great video Zach!

[@phillee2814]

The Catholic monks knew from the middle ages that carp were good eating, and built extensive pond systems throughout Europe to farm them, for consumption on Fridays, as they weren't allowed to eat meat on that day of the week. They also gain weight faster than almost all other freshwater families of fish with any similar level of feeding. This also led to some strange ideas - the barnacle goose was widely held to hatch from barnacles (which of course it doesn't) but that myth led to the name. The reason it went unchallenged for so long was because (or so the reasoning[?] went) if it hatched from a barnacle it could be regarded as a fish, and therefore allowable for consumption on a Friday! I suspect most of the aiming difficulty you had was due to refraction of the light at the boundary between air and water, which also accounts for why it is easier when shooting directly downwards. Or to put it in very simple terms, it's not so much the arrow that deflects as the light you observe it with.

[@johnnyharperscoutstable5386]

Oh Yeah Zach. That yogi bear basket is sick dude! 😃🍺

[@fitchhollow6717]

Hey Zack. I live in Jefferson, and own riverfront on the Dyer . I have a big sucker run past my place every year. Your welcome to come try your luck here.

[@johnnyharperscoutstable5386]

Chris in da house! Yeah! All murdered out too. I’d be out there till sunrise. I love night fishing! 😃🍺

[@tacticaltrev]

Watching all the lock down vids. It is good to see Chris again, hopefully you guys can shoot sling shots in the near future.

[@choppertcp1045]

Hope all is well with you and yours Fowler haven’t seen you in a bit not worried bout more vids just hope you and yours are well cuz you usually post every couple days or so. You always try to do something good and fun as well as teaching a few things. Have a good one brother!

[@heritagemama809]

I'm watching every episode! My whole family enjoys watching your channel!

[@Lonerd]

As a KZbinr I decided not to skip the ads, to help a fellow content creator. 😁

[@spitfire40313]

I'm glad you appreciate the sound of breaking branches and leave that on it's such a satisfying sound.

[@carlgeisser2463]

my mom used to can suckers, pressure cooking them, which made the bones soft, tasted better after canning as well, almost a salmon taste. I was also going to comment on the refraction , but i see many already have. the more vertical you are to the fish, the less an issue it is, more angle, more refraction . Good shot on that first one, beer can practice helped!

[@dexter2433]

the water is acting like a prism and is showing the fish higher than it is so always aim about 3" low and it is not the arrow changing direction ....it is the fish is not actuality were you think it is .as a bow fisherman it is something you learn to understand and so far we do use allot of the woodobo love it and the ace have not tried and please offer the Woodobo in bulk as i can burn threw 6 bottles of woodobo in no time smoking a Brisket or a few butt's .......

[@topshelf216]

Yup yup

[@sjam17]

Thanks for the Tarter sauce recipe! Going to try it...yum. 🤤

[@alexbarrow8216]

you have a pure soul big dog.. thats the only reason i watch ure stuff

[@nicholasrourke3836]

So glad I came back to finish this video. This is my fav video. so far out of these

[@caseholmes3385]

“Flapping around like a Harry Potter movie”

[@corywilliams2408]

😂😂

[@TheRickyvman]

im watchin every ep of the 30 day Challenge Maine

[@treydencechapman7094]

Who isn't??? 🙂😂😂😂

[@motorhead1528]

Why is watching his videos on surviving just so calming

[@zachreitsma755]

love watching your videos with my family brings us all closer together

[@Q-BinTom]

So the good old slingbow will get you some fish nice. Enjoying all the episode thanks for sharing Zac

[@michaelpeters6659]

All of your videos seem to end up making me hungry! Either you have amazing food going on or you are without food and then I’m equally hungry 😋

[@hazzardoutdoors]

Its definitely how the light bounces the visual back to your eye.

[@willythomas584]

Zach thanks for sharing. It’s a blessing to have you thank the Lord for things he gives you. Everything in life is given to us only by his will. It’s nice to have a brother in Christ to love the great things he has made on this earth

[@randalltom9750]

The refraction of the water is an optical illusion... you have to aim low. The deeper the fish the lower you aim... the arrow isn’t being deflcted... it is traveling straight... always aim low!

[@barryadkins2909]

Hey the old timers used to catch suckers down here in West Virginia they would grind bones and meat together and make fish cakes out of them this get you around the bone issues love your vids have a great

[@dexter2433]

carp balls o yes some damn good eats .....like a paste you mix up and deep fry damn good stuff ....Im a Texan and love me some Buffalo Ribs but do enjoy me some carp balls and even bought a meat grinder to make my own after a good night of bow fishing .....the carp are actuality a very clean fish and excellent eats but most just do not want to deal with the bones

[@jonasz5245]

You also could cut it into pieces bread and frie them then put em in a bowl with a mix of spices, vinegar, water and onions put something heavy on top and leave it about 3 days.... The acid of the vinegar will soften all the bones so you don't even feel em anymore when eating. In Germany it's "sauerfisch" wich means "sour fish" but it's not that common except u go fishing a lot :P it's tasty tho

[@zrig1]

We used to catch them by the dozens in a couple lakes where I used to live. They became fertilizer in our garden. The thought of eating a lake bottom feeder never crossed my mind.

[@simbco6366]

I’m watching every episode!! Always want more!

[@Raiden1267]

Watched a lot of your videos bud... keep on trucking and doing your thing!!!

[@crazycoyote1738]

That city babe is definitely asking the right technical questions!! She is sharp.

[@Sunnyreads8]

What great neighbors! Good food and good company.

[@trailtrashoutdoors8173]

Showed up late to the premiere and missed most but the end....time to run it back!! I want a fishing bow setup bad...one of these days!

[@rufflesal]

I really enjoyed this episode. Really enjoyed the viewer experience of sling bowing those fish. Awesome Fowler.

[@juliesimpson3729]

I very much like your neighbors! Bring them back often!

[@user-tt8gq7mi9o]

I like how he has a fish lives matter sweatshirt while he's chopping up a fish lol😆

[@juddybenny3756]

fishing boi same i was thinking that two haha 😂

[@jejakamalaya1484]

If yall understands the irony with it Winkwink

[@daniele_trioni]

Good jobs, you are very very expert with slinshot, and chef! Good video.

[@MikeL78]

Looks like a fun new adventure. Watching every episode.

[@sadin0elenirgerep948]

Wow! That was probably the best shot you could have hoped for!!

[@dustindoornbos]

Can't wait. I've watched every video you've posted since Texas. You've been an inspiration. Thank you.

[@joshd2013]

Always have to allow for refraction of the water when shooting which for me has generally meant about a foot low and half a foot in front if they're moving

[@survivalmode8743]

I'm watching every episode. Using the sligbow was impressive plus at night. Good challenge

[@IIWAFFLEII]

all episodes were great but this is my favorite so far!

[@gfosty1614]

Fowler, I always love watching your videos!

[@IanCoomer]

If it was me I think I would try and use shorter thinner arrows with a slim long cross head tip. You would lose some distance on your shots, but there would be less deflection on entering the water and less displacement to disturb / worn the fish. Also you need to take into account refraction causing a distorted view of the angle you would usually have. I wouldn't like to say exactly what the angle correction would be. I'm certainly not a trigonometry student by any stretch of the imagination. But my knowledge and experience attaining from 25 years of carpentry and joiner and from what I have researched for this comment it is 90° . This is called the critical angle of refraction. Like the visual appearance of the change of angle of a straight abject in water. I hope this may be of some help to you in the future. Keep on making the fabulous inspirational videos that me and so many other people love. God bless you and your family

[@frankzappa2451]

I'm watching every episode.✌️👍

[@anotherstayathomedad]

His life is a dream. Absolutely beautiful filets! Love the content man always! Really enjoy your wilderness series 30 day series.... Much love !

[@JudahSpeece]

I’m watching every single episode twice!

[@theartofmooreartofmooreins5342]

Hi Zachary, enjoy all the videos as I learn new and creative ways to catch food.

[@ToxicFlyer23]

Glad you finally got that slingbow experience you wanted. Texas had some murkier water which probably made it harder. you would probably have had to been in the ready position and aiming at the spot where the fish surfaced in order to get a decent shot off.

[@eggeboy5466]

I am watching every episode

[@alancooper4205]

I’m watching every episode of the 30 day survival challenge

[@paulrichards009]

I don't really like to fish; but the more I watch you and others, I may start to get into it. Still watching. Blessings! 😇

[@goofymf444]

Another reason carp aren’t as common for eating is because they are garbage fish which means they eat garbage sometimes, so it’s better to eat something like trout, salmon, bass, catfish, suckers, and lots of other fish as well.

[@rickyricardo5423]

OscarTheGrouch Yaboi I think catfish are bottom feeders too

[@dvlexotics2177]

We have some giant carp here in the northeast especially in the Merrimack River in Massachusetts. They are so good but yes very boney but ground up and used in like hushpuppies or carp cakes or carp balls which are kinda like hushpuppies. The carp or sucker is a very underrated fish and its because of the bones.

[@alastairhay2806]

you should try those slingshot darts from snipersling. you should be able to use them for fishing too.

[@paulfadden8834]

9:30 he is shooting from above through a small amount of water so it looks like he is targeting directly. You are shooting through feet of water, so have to shoot below, to allow for refraction.

[@AdventureQuest4x4]

Watching all episodes, nice shot on your first slingbow fish👌

[@richtervanheerden1537]

Yaaa Chris i missed him,🥳👋🏻🙋‍♂️

[@billjoe979]

Enjoying the new season keep them coming.

[@flipsniper6367]

You deserve more subscribers than you have you should have 100 mil because your content is amazing

[@papabearoutdoors2393]

Being an avid bowfisher, it is not so much that your arrow is being deflected by the water, but that the light is being refracted by the water. The fish is not actually positioned where it apopears to be. You can stick your arrow half way into the water and see that your arrow appears to be bent at an angle at the water line. The basic rule of thumb on aiming is; the deeper the fish is in the water, the further below the spot the target appears to be you must aim. Fish at the surface require no compensation. As they drop deeper into the water column, you must compensate for refraction.

[@arkbros5119]

Watching every one and woodobo is the best on deer burgers

[@IonutVEpure]

I'm glad to see you managed to slingbow fish!

[@chrisharris7198]

Nice job!! Saving the world, one piece of trash at a time. ‘He hates these cans!!!’ (Steve Martin, The Jerk) watching every episode from the Andes mountains of Peru.

[@markbergquist4439]

I really like how you keep trying to do things until you can figure them out.

[@choppertcp1045]

Showing up late but caught a few! Watching every episode

[@amylynnbynum6928]

Watching them all and I am so glad to have them, something different in my day. Keeping me sane Fowler. Keep up the great work and amazing videos.

[@thepracticalprepper9706]

I’ve watched every episode of every season.

[@yancethompson9254]

That looks like so much fun. We are watching every episode.

[@stevenestabrooks630]

I'm watching every episode. Water deflection is a tricky thing.

[@jaketaylor4961]

👍 I'm watching every episode 👍 Keep up the good work and God bless 👍

[@garyhardy2390]

That was an eye opener for me,never seen someone catch fish like that before, nicely done Zach

[@ralphgreen4119]

That was a fun watch I like that fish cooker

[@konalis808]

That was incredible! I’ve never seen anyone fish like that. My mind is blown. That looked like so much fun! Thanks for sharing!

[@rodpenney201]

The problem you had with your aim is called refraction. Light penetrates water at a different speed than air so where you "see" an object under water is not really where it is. The "bend" in the arrow flight under water is an illusion too due to the same refraction. Yes you have to aim low very low for a hit. Slept through high school physics class but learned this same phenomenon when learning to harpoon tuna. Same rules apply "throw under the fish an lead him" for a hit on a swimming tuna.

[@johnnyharperscoutstable5386]

Ya use your pliers on your e tool to eviscerate those bones, or in my case my tackle pliers or sushi tweezers. Use a cup of water to shake them off the tool in question... 😃

[@chrisgoulet8535]

It’s been almost a year since you did the 30 day survival challenge with Greg! You guys should do a part 2 in celebration

[@nickpayson6552]

Awesome fish!!! Way to go Fowler!

[@BryonSibley]

Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next video.

[@drifterafloat]

What you were experiencing was not the arrow Rising but the effect is light diffraction in the water. If you shoot straight at Something In The Water you will always go over the top of it you need to compensate for the diffraction.

[@sammccarthy9180]

Those suckers (heh sucker puns) are huge!! Nice catch

[@Righteous1ist]

Cool experience of slingbow fishing and cook. I always admire your chopstick skills.

[@redneckrocker2911]

If you make a woodobo using mung fruit sugar, the brown, version carmelizes the best, it will still be keto.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

the Woodobo is already keto just not salt free

[@caseholmes3385]

I’ve been busy and I missed a few episodes but it feels good to be caught back up

[@natetrunk5454]

I read on a article that when fishing will a bow, spear or slingshot you should aim about 2 inches under what you want to hit

[@dylan_huntnz]

It must be so satisfying catching something then eating it the same day, awesome vid Fowler, thanks again.👍👍

[@oksooners]

Her laugh is amazing....
