Hi PEOPLES? Many of Y'ALL get out and shoot the nasty carp species? I forget...What species can You bow-fish that are EDIBLE & GOOD? Just asking? BLESSED BE! BATMAN

In Washington, just about any type of carp is legal except the Grass Carp.

Of course, the carp is edible...but I cannot find too many folks who will say it's "YUMMY".

...and here's a friend of mine from South Dakota who took this state record of 42# about 10 years ago with a Martin Mamba.

Nice shot of my son in law Nic gettin ready for some action.

Call these guys for the recipe, been there a few times over the past 20 years or so. The carp is excellent...

About the ONLY other fish that I remember that people bow-fish for ( on a regular basis) MIGHT be TILAPIA????? They seem to bee good eating??? BLESSED BE!

Ray is tasty!

Dang sideways

Its legal to shoot catfish in Michigan, both flathead and channel. That's something I would NEVER do. I respect and love both of them too much to take them out the easy way.

Hey BATMAN. I've heard that the Asian Carp is supposed to be good eating. It's supposedly a white meat fish and , when done correctly, rivals tuna salad when prepared as such. Paddle fish are legal at certain times (checks local regs and limits) and is supposed to be great eating. Rays are supposed to be good as well...I've got some in the freezer I shot last year that I need to try cooking up. I've also heard that gar is good, although a PITA to skin. I've killed thousands of fish with trad archery gear and have never eaten the first one yet...most I wouldn't eat! Looking forward to trying the rays sometime though.

I don't eat them, I just give them away or my friend uses them for fertilizer.....Jim
