Bowfishing a man’s sport or a Mean sport?
How do you feel about it?

 

[Getmuddy350]

Man's sport i'd say.

i did it once and it was an adrenalin rushh.. i def.. wanna try it with some bigger fish... like some groupers or sharks... ya know

i think a quick death by arrow would be much better than the trauma of being hooked and pulled in then put on a stringer or in a bucket to await a slow death. i belive it is a more humane way to fish.

i wanna do it sometime, looks like fun

 

[phreakyfaerie]

don't get me wrong i like to go fishing too, but i still think the quicker death is more humane

ive done it a few time i have speared many things i dont really like the spearing part cause most likely it kills them, but i like the hunt cause u never know what kind of fish u might see or what size, spear/bow fishing at night u see many fish that would never see during the day thats what is cool about it.

I would not say it is mean sport unless you do it for the sick joy of watching a fish get stabbed, otherwise it is just another method of fishing and getting ahold of food.

I would not say it is a man's sport eaither. There is nothing manly about it. Not even shark fishing is manly, in order to be "manly" it has to imply a risk to yourself. Jumping in and wrestling a fish would be manly.

I say it's a MEAN sport. The fish is 100% dead or will die. So you can tell that is isn't a catch and release pic............
