Bowfishing Buzz Podcast Ep.123 now available.
Road to the BAA Worlds with Parker LaRue (Ep.123)
Who knew a broken truck could lead to one of the best bowfishing adventures of the year? In Episode 123, we recap an awesome weekend at the Bluegrass Youth Bowfishing Bonanza, and tell the story of how mechanical problems in Kentucky somehow turned into Dennis sticking a 50+ pound spoonbill with Clayton Myer of The Obsession Outdoors. Mathew eventually made it back to retrieve the truck (and even found a few fish along the way), and then we sit down with Parker LaRue for everything you need to know before the 2026 BAA Worlds in Arkansas—from payouts and red zones to tournament schedules and winning predictions. We also dive into another Fish You Wish and some Breaking News. Grab a cold drink, sharpen your arrows, and join us for another episode where the stories are almost as big as the fish!

. This year, the Bowfishing Association of America generously provided a $500 scholarship for one deserving youth shooter at the Bluegrass Bonanza Youth Bowfishing Tournament. AMS Bowfishing was proud to match that donation with an additional $500, bringing the total scholarship to $1,000.

Congratulations to scholarship recipient Hunter Budd. We’re honored to support the next generation of bowfishers and help young people continue chasing their goals both on the water and in the classroom.
