Bowfishing Carp - The Salmon Arm Wharf / Shuswap Lake

[killerShMry]

this is in canada wow look like very nice !!!!

[ShuswapKayaks]

Our apologies if we offended anyone with our response. We only had concerns that you were hunting in a "restricted area" that is off limits for boaters and people. The Salmon Arm foreshore area is considered critical nesting habitat for Western Grebes.

What do you do once you catch those Nast fuckers lol? Eat them or what

[GreatWhiteNorth111]

@loganalt10 I generally take them home and throw them threw the chipper shredder for garden sushi LOL, ive given some to an asian fellow, was a good guy he barbecues them. And if we get the chance we throw them in the air and ospreys come grab them! quite the sight to see! ps im the other guy in the vid ;)

[Brela06]

What did you do with all the fish? You can't eat so much fish? ;-)

[Reighan252]

@Brela06 grind them up for fertilizer for the garden they are horrible to eat.

[Reighan252]

@ShuswapKayaks no one calls us "heroes" and go ahead report me ! no one gives a shit buddy the conservation officer told me personally to shoot as many as i can because these fish kill habitats for the other animals that have lived here for so long.

[Thesnoozyone]

@Reighan252 Don't worry Reighan. ShuswapKayaks is just a radical fucking cunt who doesn't even know fishing regs.

[GreatWhiteNorth111]

@Thesnoozyone amen to that brother

@ShuswapKayaks Carp are an invasive species.  They are not native to North America. They are also a threat to native species, and should be eradicated. Great video, and nice shooting, boys!

@ShuswapKayaks

In case you hadn't noticed, carp are an INVASIVE species and are severly impacting our NATIVE species. So these guys are doing us a favour and you should be thanking them!!

[GreatWhiteNorth111]

@ShuswapKayaks Your a joke, You love to paddle in the bay but you understand not of how that ecosystem works. There are almost no trout in this corner of the lake due to the carp that swamp everything else out, if you look in the right places some salmon come to spawn in the bay only to have their nests rooted up by these water hogs. Believe it or not i spotted a 6 foot sturgeon in the marsh when i was out catching carp, weather the sturgeon spawn there or not, carp need to GTFO

[mitchell3270]

@ShuswapKayaks nope these fish have been illegally introduced and should be ridden of cause they are starting to destroy some wild stocks of this lake and they are invasive not natural to this lake

[zoo861109]

What did you guys do with them? I went spear fishing for them the other day, and tried smoking them. They ended up tasting really good that way, and at that size they can be deboned the same way "asian" carp (bighead and silver carp) are if you search for that on youtube. Great shooting, btw.

[boertie258]

FUCK YOU MORRON!why are you bowfishing,let that fish live and not die painfully,im not gonna shoot my bow at u am i?and yes,i have a bow

[JustinLDenman]

@boertie258 fish don't feel pain. Thats why you can catch and release with a rod and reel. Carp tear up river and lake ecosystems and make them inhabitable for other fish and aquatic life. They are the wild hogs of the water. Most conservation departments will tell you to shoot as many as you can.

[Reighan252]

@JustinLDenman yeah thats why i shot 30 lol

there crap fish

[Thesnoozyone]

@boertie258 pussy

[riverbc]

@boertie258 btw..it's spelled "moron" Like I stated to kayak, carp are an invasive and harmful to our ecosystem. They should be destroyed to protect our native fish stocks.

[pdwgoes]

@riverbc that's bullshit,normal carp hels the water to be kept clean,if u have a grass carp or a cruise carp,they are harmfull,but those guys?the don't,trust me
