## Caption

Idaho’s lower Snake River in Canyon County is slow-moving and clear, and it has good numbers of large carp, says bowfisherman Riley Farden, who lives nearby in New Plymouth.⁠
⁠
He and his wife were on the river in his jet-drive jonboat around midday Sunday, and good numbers of carp were milling around. Farden says he’d already shot 10 to 15 carp that day when he spotted a huge fish holding near the bottom in about four feet of water. He drew his 50-pound compound bow and made a good shot on the carp. Farden’s fish weighed 67.65 pounds, with a 49-inch length and a 32.75-inch girth. The massive grass carp set a new state-record, smashing the bowfishing record and easily outweighing the rod-and-reel record.⁠
