Emory Baldwin III and his regular bow-hunting partner Franklin Shotwell were wrapping up a night of stalking northern snakehead from Baldwin’s boat along the Maryland side of the Potomac River when they decided to check the flats near Marshall Hall to see if the blue catfish had moved up into the grass, according to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources.
According to Baldwin, it was Shotwell who saw the big snakehead, but it was on his side of the boat.
After quickly aiming his compound bow, he released an arrow and was engaged in a tug of war with an 18.42-pound Maryland record.
