Vermont Common Carp Bowfishing Record Shattered!

Jacob Kinney and his brother Owen set out on Lake Champlain the night of May 7 and secured their names in the Vermont record books with a monstrous common carp that destroyed the old record. Hear the full story as Jacob gave This Week In Bowfishing an exclusive and detailed description of the events.

This is disgusting. What did they do with it? Throw it in the trash? It was full of eggs too. Bow fishing is not fishing and shooting the biggest fish is the easiest rather than the hardest. Just call yourselves bow hunters instead.

How come when you search Vermont state record by bowfishing it comes up at 44 lbs not 60+? When did he get that fish ?

[@fishingmaster99]

Record still says 44lbs it ahould be changed by now. Somethings up

[@fishingmaster99]

Most of his records are super shady. No video of that carp being cut open. Awful shocking. He’s Rudd record also for be beat by a fish that was 3 inches long but only 1 Oz heavier. Ya shady as it gets.

We treat common carp like gods in the UK,they get treated with medicine in the hookholds and flanks when necessary and put them back carefully,peopple pay a fortune in tackle and bait to catch them here,why dont you target asian carp instead if they wreck your waters ??

If you had the fishing opportunities that we do in the US you would recognize that common carp are an invasive and destructive species that has the capacity to change ecosystems.

@@thisweekinbowfishing8850 i think asian carp are that countries biggest invasive species not carp,as the are difficult to catch,we love a challenge,in the UK we have a lot of species here,considering its dimunitive size,but the folk from other european countries ruin our opportunies as carp anglers,they are they a staple diet to many particularly the polish and are wiping out great swathes of previously good waters

[@thisweekinbowfishing8850]

@@felipfelop8220 all good points and it's unfortunate that is happening in Europe. The US is indeed having challenges with Asian carp species and we target them as often as we do common carp. Our federal wildlife management offices consider all of these species as highly invasive and detrimental to native species. Bowfishing is not going to solve all of the problems with invasive species, but it does contribute to the overall health of our aquatic ecosystems.
