Do not miss this incredible episode of The American Carper as we discuss a journey of redemption from former US Bowfisherman Dan Ketterman. Dan has been an incredible advocate for the sport of Catch and Release Carp Angling in the USA over this past year and has dedicated himself to spreading the word on the attributes of this incredible fish. He shares in depth his former life as a bowfisherman and describes in detail the pivotal moment where everything changed for him and he had to start targeting the species on rod and line only. So many anglers can learn from his introspection, thoughts and approach to, what is understandably, a very sensitive topic amongst carp anglers. There are some great moments in this interview as Dan takes us through his history.... A great angler and example of how to approach this sensitive topic, we can't thank him enough for his courage and leadership in tackling this important topic.

Bowfishing...how it started for me...
We could not catch them on a rod and line no matter how hard we tried so...
The rhetoric and misinformation on the species fueled my desires as a bow fisherman...
It was out of my own ignorance and lack of understanding of the facts that I thought I was doing the right thing!
The moment that changed everything for me...
It was the largest fish I had ever seen...I drew back my bow...and I thought why?
I have to let it go...and I have to try to catch it with a rod and reel...
I just can't do it anymore...
What I would like to say now to bowhunters...
The science that you have on the website really helps to dispel all of the misinformation...that's a great starting point to educate a bowfisherman...
It's the misinformation that is fueling most of the bowfisherman...they honestly believe that they are doing the water a favor!
Carp Anglers have to engage in conversations backed with fact and science... not from anger from behind a keyboard...
Carp Angling is now cool...

Comparison is the thief of all joy...that's where social media can take you so be careful...
