A bit disturbing I think...

bowfishing is sick, theres no point or sport to it, drive along a flat and shoot a fish with an arrow then rel it in....what do u do with it then??? you cant release it cause it'll die and i dont think anyone really eat gar. too bony, fatty, thick scales, and green bones (kinda throws your appetite)

Gar flesh is edible, and sometimes available in markets, but unlike the sturgeon that they resemble, gar roe is poisonous.

same here, id love to catch one on rod 'n reel but not with a bow.

i know its edible, just reminds me of carp 2much.
