While John had bever been bowfishing before he did have the advantage of a lifetime of bow hunting whitetail deer. He admittedly underestimated the challenge of bowfishing at first but once he figured out the water refraction the fish started flopping in the boat and the cooler started filling fast! We had a great time and are looking forward to going again! He also messaged me a few days later explaining how much he is loving his healthy diet of fresh wild tilapia!
