We want to hear from our fellow bowfishers! Shoot us a text!

This week, D-Schmidty sits down with Mathew to hear the full story behind an unforgettable South Texas bowfishing adventure with Captain Hunter Barthels of Extreme Bowfishing!
From takeoff to chasing Alligator Gar in the coastal waters alongside Jana Waller Bair of Skull Bound Chronicles, the action starts early. Then the crew heads inland with one goal in mind: find a TRUE GIANT Gator Gar.

On Day 3, it all came together.
 Mathew tells us exactly what happened when the opportunity of a lifetime appeared out of nowhere!  You’ll hear exactly what was going through his mind, how the shot unfolded, and what it felt like when he realized just how big this fish really was. 

 Then Captain Hunter Barthels joins the show to talk about what it takes to be a top-notch bowfishing guide in South Texas and consistently put clients on incredible fish.

PLUS—we've got Fish You Wish and some of D-Schmidty’s early bowfishing diary stories! 

Big fish. Big stories. South Texas bowfishing.
