the TPW handbook.

1. I am not a know it all but I can read the 2008/2009 Outdoor Annual, which is given out free by Walmart when you buy a fishing license. It tells you what fish you can take with a bow.

2. I love the 2nd comment. Go kill all the 100 million year survivors you can. Yes sir, that will get you lots of brownie points in the sportfishing world and TPWD. You guys are your own worst enemy.

I can tell by your last comment that even you, the captain, don't know a thing about bowfishing for alligator gar. All the bowfishing guys I know are lucky to get 1 good fish per boat, per outing. Oh and it's not because they are not there, but because it ain't as easy as it looks on TV.

[Miles2Fish]

Do you eat alligator gar when you harvest them?

[texas two guns]

Every bowfisherman I know eats alligator gar

[bowfishrp]

Gator gar are some pretty good eating!

Kim you WERE being a butt. The guy asked a simple question and while you might have thought it was stupid, the guy would not have asked if he didnt know.

Why is it the gass guys are on the bowfishing thread? This isn't the rod and reel for gar thread.

Alligator gar are very good eating. I prefer to slice thin and fry in flour not meal. Or make gar balls. Very tasty meat. If you fry it think and let it cool off any it becomes rubbery. Also check for worms caught about a 4 footer on jugline last year and it had some long thin red worms in it. I didn't eat that one..

[Texican89]

Hell yea gar are very good to eat. Eat wat you kill. oh and stick all thu gar you can. Legally, till we change that.

Soldier, TP&W once had a flyer out that said the worms in Texas fresh water fish were harmless. Actually more protein than the fish flesh. But they did not convience me.

[Fishin' Soldier]

I don't think it would have convinced me either. I can catch all the ones I want. I pulled out a worm and it was about a foot long. It was coiled up in the flesh. I just couldn't see myself eating it.
