hawkbow:
 Went out again with Wolf watcher and josiah.. we got 87 between us will post pics soon.. hawk

Little John:
Good shooting Hawk and Josiah, I might try to get out after them this afternoon. Do you have any tips? Looks like you just wade and stalk? Do you use lines attached to the arrows? I have read that these fish die easily and can be retrived with out a cumbersom line. Also have you tried these fish on the table, every one says they are full of bones, but I don't see how they can have different bone structures than trout or pike that have more bones than bass or crappie. I guess I will have to try some to get my own oppinion. You could do as the Native Americans showed the Pilgrams and use for fertilizer.  We used to catch them  by the busshells in Texas as they always bit and got big. By the way the economy is going we might all have to subsist off them as I know they would outlast big game by far.    Kenneth

coyote pup:
I get the feeling Hawk's not eating these fish. Not just killing for target practice are ya Hawk?  :'(

Ryano:
Its not the bones Kenneth. They taste pretty much exactly how they smell......like fish slime! Saying that these things dye easy couldn't be anymore untrue. I carry a tomahawk to club them once I get them in the boat, I've smashed the heads off of them and their still flopping around in the bottom of the canoe. They can survive for literally hours out of the water with hole shot clean through them. I've tried cooking them several times, it is edible if you were starving but its defenetly not to tastey..... :-\

coyote pup, you could kill as may of these fish as you can and it wouldn't even effect the population. They spawn a new crop every summer and they grow very quickly and almost nothing kills them especially once the get to a certain size. You have to try to control the population some how.
