Bow fishing is not permitted on the oklahoma river, I just looked at the web site for it so next time some clown pulls that crap give the five-o a call. Oh if you guys can make a trip to South Korea let me know I have got some amazing bass fishing here and some carp as well

Don’t see that much around here thankfully, couldn’t deal with idiots like that on the water~

I wish they’d use them for something after they shoot ‘em around here Teeg. Seems they like to toss the fish on the bank to die or even “catch” and release. Always sad to a nice double digit carp struggling on the surface in the shallows after having an arrow yanked out.

Bowfishing on the LA river… that’d really be a sight to see UrbanFlyy

Wow
I’m amazed at the fact you can walk around with a bow in a city river.. If we did that in the LA River we’d be shot!

another reason not to bow/spear…

I don’t know why they don’t ban bow fishing.. it just plain out sux.

I won’t get down on the bow fishermen as a general group – they’re shooting rough fish, and most of them that I know use the fish for something.

But anybody, whether armed with a bow, a sparkly bass boat and baitcasters, Zebco 33 combos from Wal Mart … or fly rods … who snakes someone else’s water is a turd burglar for sure.

Some folks just weren’t raised right.

In other news, that first shot of the feeding carp is awesome – crazy perspective, took me a while to figure out what I was looking at.

hah Josh… You not coming is a good luck charm or something. But really, you’ll have to get out there with me sometime.

He missed it… shot into the pool a total of 5-6 times (even though everything was obviously spooked from the first shot). Unreal.

I’m sure they would have been furious if someone would have shot at a fish they were aiming for, but since I was holding a 9ft toothpick and they had sharp pointed projectiles… I guess they figured it be ok.

cowards.

It’s a shame to hear it’s not an uncommon occurrence. I was hoping it was just a bad sample…

Rediculous, they need to go sit up in a tree stand somewhere and shoot something with legs…………..

I’ve encountered those clowns that would line up right alongside of me shooting at fish I was angling for. Now that is just plain rude.

Those assholios want respect, but with they way they conduct themselves on the water they’ll never get it from me….

Dangit Ward! Every time you invite me and I can’t go you end up running into some excitement. I called you on my way home from work to see if you were getting rained on, but by the time I was on the turnpike it was sunny and clear. Did the bowfisherman end up catching the fish, or did he miss?
