All are true but none exclusively......I guess the only name that truly fits me is "catfisherman" and I'm proud of it! Guess I'll be bouncing all over this forum before it's over with. Why don't we have a North and South division also while we are splitting it up.... just saying.. www.jmfowlkesgc.com

The eastern states fish are much more protected than Texas lakes as far as bag limits and length limits. Thus the reason for larger fish - they get to grow over a longer period of time. Most other states you can bowfish catfish..Texas you may not. That eliminates a lot of threat.

I fish because I enjoy eating fresh fish & as long as they are of legal sizes, I will keep them, both big or not so big! I was the one that bought the fishing license,boat registration, gas & oil for the motor, so I consider it none of anyone else's business if I catch & release or sit at home & do nothing!Mother nature provided the fish I caught & she'll provide more until a man's stupidity causes there to be no more fish! This is my 1st & last post or comment on the subject,so ya'll get after it & raise 'ole billy hell!@

You could be much more productive ont he cats with some worms and stinkbait in a night than with a bow. In the year while bowfishing cats in texas was legal We never shot more than a handful in a night, the most was 7... rod and reeling I bet we could have put a much bigger hurting on them.
