Bowfishing is a blast!

I just completed my boat, and it won't quit raining long enough for us to get out!    :mad:    :mad:    :mad:    

Congrats to y'all!

I went primitive bow fishing two weeks ago. Took my osage self bow, a wooden arrow and a stone point.  Got one Bowfin (dog fish). Made my season.

Looks like a great time! I grew up on bowfishing, still enjoy it today, and have passed it on down to my 2 sons, who also love it! Nice job!

Never had gar, is it sort of like pike? Pike is tasty, but bony.

Was curious if most just threw the fish away or used them for some other purpose like fertilizer, cut bait, fish food...

I am in the middle of taking a fisheries biology class and one point I came across was the feed for many fisheries is not fish protein, but other sources. Seems like there could be a market for "trash" and invasive species like all these carp to be caught/shot and used as feed for our fisheries. Solving 2 problems at once.
