Is there anywhere in Waco that if I caught some carp or gar I could sell them for food, fertilizer, etc?

I think you need a commercial license to sell fish!

Go to the TPWD site. You would need a license to sell them as bait, and a different license to sell for food. I doubt you'll be able to sell them legally for "fertilizer".

oh lol ill look into the license! do yall know anything about like cooking them and giving away to homeless?

Maybe catch and release?

you cant catch and release bowfishing

Is there a legal way to go shoot some non game fish to cook and give to poor/needy?

Smh

Normal people, sane people, dont feel the need to torture creatures to death slowly for pleasure.

You can give legally caught fish to others. You cannot sell or barter those fish.

It's unethical to waste fish that you've killed.

Bowfishing can supply many a person a meal. A couple of inquiries can lead to somewhere close to give away all you take. And for you that consider it unethical,talk to some that have seen awesome fisheries virtually destroyed by roughfish.

I am not certain about giving away or selling any sort of fish where there are no bag limits but, no, you can't give way fish to someone else without a Wildlife Resource Document showing the transfer, in many or most cases. Be careful.

So, for a few examples, you could give away all the Tilapia you want on Squaw Creek because, among other things, you are not permitted to return them to the lake. And, there are no bag limits. But, if you catch a largemouth bass, you cannot give it away to someone else without the transfer form.

Brad, you're 100% correct. My point was merely that you or I are free to GIVE fish away to someone else, but we cannot sell, barter, or trade those fish for anything of value.

Yep!
