Only things leagal in my part of the state are rough fish, like carp, and pan fish, like bluegill and crappie. I shoot mainly crappie since you can get a nice filet off of them. Ted spears carp just to rid the lakes of them- they're non-native and really screw up the ecosystem around here. The school of fish you see is a naitve buffolo which is a rough fish. The carp that I grabbed is nono native and was introduced early last century.
We saw some musky but you can't shoot any game fish in Wisconsin. Out in North Dakota, where Fred lives, and in some other western states you can spear almost anything- game laws out there are so liberal I bet you could spear a deer if you wanted
- just kidding, sort of.
We still hand grab the msuky to play with them for the camera sometimes, but not to eat. I guess it's the ultimate version of catch and release!
