JD7.62;1870820; said:To defend the mods a little, in that thread one of them said they were more offended by bowfishing where the fish was usually discarded. You are right pretty much all fish speared are carefully chosen, then harvested and eaten.
I must admit I dont mind bowfishing for trash fish either. The ONLY fish I couldnt kill in that mater would be a large alligator gar just becuase of the fish's age. Id merk the hell out of any carp, buffalo, smaller gar or other trash fish if given the chance!
I used to bowfish a lot. I have changed my view on gar.
What is a trash fish? That is the question. I shoot the crap out of carp, especially in the rivers. Gar are a native fish.

i spear fish and english theres worse things you can do to fish and they on here like fish in under sized aquariums at least you eat ur catch!
