  That gar is a tasty fish. Be a shame if you are shooting and dumping them.

 Bow fishing when I was just a kid is some of the best memories that I have from the childhood. Great way to learn!

  I like to make it like Lobster scampi too. I also cut in in strips and soak in sour orange and garlis and salt. Then put it in the dehydrator and make dried fish strips.
