In the sixth annual Eutaw Springs bowfishing contest on Lake Marion, 113 two man teams caught 4050 trash fish weighing 24860 pounds. Organizers say the haul, the largest ever for a SC bowfishing tourney, helps reduce rough fish populations and improve gamefish prospects.
Ed Roberts notes only 25 to 50 percent of the so called trash fish were actually taken during the event. Winners Bill McCabe and J W Floyd of Charleston topped 172 to win 602 dollars first prize. Wayne Shumate Lugoff and Harold Outen Kershaw took second with 132 fish. Mike Shirley Florence set a longnose gar record at 18 pounds 12 ounces. Steve Ard Sumter set bowfin record 13 pounds 14 ounces. Ricky Drose Manning set carp record 21 pounds 6 ounces and held largest fish of the tournament.
