where is it legal to spear catfish? in mn u can do it through ice but that is it. I love bowfishing for carp and suckers but enjoy catching catfish too much to spear them
people its ok to shoot carp and not eat them. i shoot over 500 carp a year bowfishing and i dont eat a single one. farmers love them though. and plus if its so wrong to shoot them and not eat them then why isnt there a law about it.
This is the original video that first inspired me to pick up the sport of spearfishing. Best decision I ever made - thanks for video and a lifelong passion. Cheers!
Well technically if you want to justify it no matter what way the organism dies 20% of its energy is passed on to the next trophic level, whether it gets eaten, dies of a disease, or dies of an injury. No matter what the cause of death the same amount of energy is transferred
Nice work boys! You're doing a great service to that fishery. Dont let these idiots tell you otherwise. At the last tournament I was at we shot over 2,000 lbs of carp in one day. Filled up a whole dumpster, haha.
@coridor33 how are you going to sit in another country and hate on someones wildlife management attemps when you know nothing of the fish populations. he's killing off the non native fish that have overpopulated decimated the fish that live in the river naturally. you are the idiot. and an ignorant one at that
yes people eat those fish, im sure. but why would YOU shoot and kill them, if you werent going to eat them.
and the reason i watched this video is because i like spearfishing, and the title of this video said it was river spearfishing. no where in the title or info did it say the spearo shot fish just for fun, without eating them. wasting fish is just dumb
listen guys we dont kill the fish for no reason.. the creek and section of the river we spearfish at, used to be some of the best damn trout and bass fishing in the country.. but the increase suckerfish, chubb and carp has decimated their populations.. its over run with suckers and carp.. and we really dont kill that many.. the spots we do though are starting to regain bass and trout populations though.
carp , as everyone knows can be, and in the case of the US and mexico , an invasive specie of fish.. i use carp as fertilizer and coon bait ... ( purpose )
another thing.. by leaving the fish we do kill in the water and sinking them to the bottom. it allows other aquatic organisms to feed on them... it mainly brings in crayfish which increases fish the population bc gives them more to feed on.. so by killing a few we help increase the population.
that is an AB Biller which usually runs like $175-$250 i believe. just start with a jbl carbine for $80. the better you get the more you upgrade. I've upgraded to $600... stop at $300 trust me = )
nice video, finally one with tons of action. Where is that river that you fish? it looks like so much fun. i wish i could dive the rivers in wisconsin but the main one where i live has 2 inches of vis because of pollution.
