They had several big buffs also

Umm.. No... Buffs weren't allowed for weigh in... they had a stringer of grassies that went 1001 lbs and some change

This!

Aside from rays, GG or blues, I can't fathom a 20-fish basket that would even come close to 1000lbs. And it would be difficult with any of the species I mentioned, let alone doing it with 20 grasses that have a 50lb average EACH!

Truly an epic feat that I doubt will be equaled-ever.

70 lbs is common for grassies!!!

Jul 13, 2015 - Bryan Hughes, a north Alabamian landed a massive 92 grass carp in a bowfishing tournament this summer, smashing the world record.

Yes grassies get 70 lbs and even bigger, so do blues and buffs and what not but I wouldn't say it's common to shoot 70 lb grassies or any specie other than gator gar hence why a 70lb grassie won big fish out of 200+ teams. Shooting 20 grassies in a night is impressive in itself but for them to average 50 lbs and do it on a tournament night especially with a 200 boats looking for the same fish. I agree with cc we might never see a big 20 come in over 1000lbs again unless it's in Louisiana and guys get into big gg and blues.

They had buffs that were just shot not weighed. When everyone was weighed they gave you black barrels for fish you were weighing in and pushed a big plastic dumpster for fish you were not weighing in(buffs,gar,any carp not needed for your big 20) several big buffs were in the dumpster when we dumped ours and I thought they were theirs also. Their stringer was all grassies.

we shot a 73 lber on Tues night and a 65 lber, then we didn't shoot anymore. Look at the difference between 10th, (us) and 3rd. WE SAW and shot 10 FISH AND LANDED 8, The other 2 we shot went round and round big trees, , had to cut the 200lb line we were using. someone send me an email address and I'll send pictures of Tues nights fish, and yes we wished we would have shot em on Sat night. We came all the way from Arizona, so we shot only 2 grassies, cause my 2 partners never had seen em before, I shot a 35 lber at lake Conroe years back (dwo1@cox.net) anyone hear that the shoot is going back to Springfield next year ?

We finished 35th and turned in 7 grassies along with silvers. Had a few come off of arrows and watched 3 swim off with arrows in them. Ours averaged around 20 lbs. Im from 20 minutes South of the pyramid, 70 lbs grassies arent common around here.

To say it's more in impressive then shooting 1400 little ones. First of all to shoot over a 1000 whether it's numbers or big 20 is a heck of an accomplishment. It takes skills to shoot both cause if it was easy everyone would be doing it. I'm friends with both teams that done shot 1428 fish and 1001.4lbs both put there time in that's why there successful. Congrats on setting the record Tommy, Shorty, Gibby, and Hunter.

some onne send me an e mail, and I'll send ya a picture of our 73 lber, I don't know how to put pictures up, or do algebra
