Went out for a few hours on the DesPlaines where I-55 crosses over and the carp, buffalo and gar are spawning. It was a hell of a sight. The guy I brought with had such a good time he went straight home and bought his own complete setup. Bow, reel, arrows and all.

His wife is gonna be pissed at me....

He knows that. We don't eat them from the DesPlaines. We do eat the gar from some of the lakes we shoot on, but never anything from the rivers.

Bow, what is the disposal method for those rough fish?
Sounds like fun.

Garden or smoke. Well at least I heard smoked is good with the right cut.
