Sounds like a jealous man.

And a quote from that thread that is so true. Even I'll admit that Mr. Shark has me wanting to kill a few gar just to despise him. I have even received PM's about the guy from when he lived in Corpus Christi, it's not very flattering information either. The man needs to tread lightly on the forums before someone exposes the real Sharkbait.


"You have the hunting forum guys up in arms over your posts on that forum. I've received a few PM's with invites to hit the trinity with spot lights and bows just to post pics of big shot up gar on your threads. I'm not going to kill gar to pizz off some guy on a forum, but several others are planning to. So how is this crusade to save the gar helping them if you've got people mad enough to go kill the biggest ones they can find just because of your goofy posts?"

Exactly....When hunters and fishermen don't get together with good common sense management practices these "Cuddle The Creatures" organizations can take advantage of the opportunity to have their voice heard and we end with more ridiculous laws and restrictions. If we're not careful they will have us eating coyotes and armadillos if we shoot one.

my conscience is clear. do what you feel you need to do.

sounds like a man whos tired of people killing alligator gar on the low for money and pretending their catch and release.

If some people have their way to will be illegal to catch a fish.

Great quote that showcases the worst side of human behavior - destroy a valuable natural resource out of spite. Yes, that makes lots of sense.

Thankfully, long-lived fish like white sturgeon are starting to recover from such foolishness.

Kind of hard to check that link. When I clicked on it it showed Sharkbait had deleted some of his messages 20 minutes ago so I guess damage control has now been done

Problem is, his passion is hurting more than it's helping. If the guy would just try to convince people not to kill gar for various reasons it'd be one thing. Instead he's trying to take away a right of the people and I think we all disagree with any of our freedoms being taken away.


Yes Zeek, what you wrote is true; but rubbing people the wrong way will cause repercussions.

They have the same rights on the water that you do. You don't make the law, sir.

i edited the post to not fight with Mr. Dawson he has made posts that show hes cares about these fish's conservation and the majority of his current pictures show respect to the fish.

pretending your catch and release when you are not while working with bowfisherman like barfzilla is just about the lowest you can go
once again im not saying anything i cant prove and im sure he will threaten to sue me again.

Well that escalated quickly, and got off subject. I feel like we are all on the same team about wanting to preserve our natural resources for future generations, while still enjoying our right to hunt and fish to the fullest. If TPWD sees a need to adjust the current regulations on alligator gar fishing, they will. In the meantime, who wants to go bowfishing for an invasive species like carp (Asian, common, or grass)???

Nope its not off subject it's the same old [censored] . Give it a week or two same post same argument same people .

I know right, I take the bait every time! I guess I just need to realize that the man is .

Well you see, you missed that thread. It's what caused the original post here in this thread, it seems that some love carp as much as others love their gars. They won't be happy until bowfishing is banned and that's what they are after.
