As you mention they are definitely invasive but they both have their own anglers that cry about the harvest yet both species are becoming common occurrence throughout the Delaware river water shed. You can call it guise I just call it science, you should look up some of the research before you pass judgement. you do not have to agree with what we do but it is completely legal.  |
I saw the picture the first time you posted it and I am aware that you have the legal right to bow hunt. That doesn't mean I have to agree with it. All my friends that hunt deer, turkey etc. practice some of the best sportsmanship I know. They eat and use every part of the animal they kill that they can. It just seems wasteful to me to kill thousands of fish that you have no personal use for, regardless of how much research you throw out that they're destructive. I'm a musky fisherman and release everything I catch. When I see someone with a big fish in their cooler it bothers me, but it is their legal right to take it as long as it not on one of "Catch and Release" lakes in April and May. Doesn't mean I have to agree with it.
