Long before the Asian carp invasion we fished below the Rend Lake spillway up in Illinois. Used to absolutely tear up the white bass. The bad thing was the stink. Gar and carp were the main fish you saw on the banks, but there were also white bass, stripers, crappie...just about every species you can think of tossed up on the rocks to rot. Drove me nuts. I have no problem with killing gar and carp, but why toss them on the rocks where they rot and ruin others fishing? Kill them and toss them back in the water so they float on down and a coon will eat them. Another good thing to use them for is fertilizer. Bury them on the edge of your garden or, if you haven't planted yet, till them directly into the garden.

There are bow fishermen that simply want their picture with the great success of a pile of arrowed fish ...Originally Posted by chrispbrown27
So they stack them on the bank for pictures ... and then walk away ...

Ya'll should have crawdads the size of lobsters & snapping turtles the size of Volkswagens with all that free food lying around. I just hope you don't end up with coons the size of bears

I appreciate them out there fighting the good fight against some of these carp and realize not all bow fishermen are bad folks. I've seen them dumping their nightly catch into the main river channel after taking pictures to send them downstream and avoid this issue. Catching skipjacks below Ky and Barkley could make a maggot gag in the summertime where some of the folks just chuck them onto the rocks instead of cutting their belly and chucking them back into the river to feed stuff downstream. There's respectful and disrespectful bowfishermen just like there are respectful and jerks fishing every other way.
