no using fish for fertilizer is not legal in the state of Texas Using cleaned fish carcasses is definitely legal in the state of Texas. How about you provide complete information instead of cherry picking to support your argument? And to demonstrate to you how confusing the TPWD Code and definitions can be can be, here ya go. https://tpwd.texas.gov/publications/pwdpubs/media/pwd_bk_w7000_0798.pdf

Seemed pretty cut and dry to me. Im fairly certain there is a difference in cleaned fish carcass as fertilizer if the retained meat is being used for food or bait vs uncleaned fish being dumped under the guise of fertilizer. According to Texas state law the latter is illegal!

I don't click many youtube videos on the www. Thx, Zeek.
fwiw, I believe the code cited is poorly written and easily contested. I also believe it was added to keep people from throwing bow-shot fish back in the lake. How can the Warden prove "intent"?
The fish died. I didn't intend for it to. I think it to be pretty easy to determine intent. If you dump a bunch of uncleaned fish anywhere, then you made no intent to retain them. If you went through the process of cleaning the fish and putting them in your cooler or freezer then you made an intent by processing them for consumption. Again I don't see the wording of this law all that confusing. The pictures depicted in the video shakbait posted if truly on the trinity river show illegal and wonton waste of Texas resources. There was obviously no intent to retain those fish for consumption or bait. They should be procecuted for that!

who says Gar or carp are edible. This is exactly why people loath the government. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but to my knowledge there are no fish in Texas fresh waters that are not edible. None of them will kill you if you eat them and people for thousands of years have eaten them. Just because it may be taboo in our culture by some to eat them does not make them unpalatable. I don't loath the government for protecting species of animals, I commend them. It's been proven time and time again in the past that our resources need protection from the people because the people are incapable of managing it themselves as a whole population. With the ever growing population of the nation and the state of texas our resources need protection now more than ever so that our kids, grandchildren, great grandchildren and beyond can enjoy hunting and fishing just as we have.

And in the meantime, PETA is laughing their azz off at the fighting among fishermen over the meaning of a simple word.

Where the hell did I say anyone agreed with or supported PETA? 2. The ignorance is all your's. Your mother must be proud. 3. PETA is pretty smart, a lot more so than you. They love it when fishermen and hunters argue and fight. Makes a much weaker opponent.

have you ever heard of taking a carp you have caught, placing it is a tub of clean water and let it swim for a couple of days to get the silt out of it's system. Then filet and skin and cut into chunks and fry.
I have been told by an old timer in Yantis, please bring me some carp. They are great eating when "cured" in this manner.
Except she wants me to do the curing and cleaning.
