Is that a ray? You can't eat those things can you? I know, in Alaska, we catch skates which are basically a ray-type fish but they say the only edible part is a couple chunks out of each wing so we just turn 'em loose. Nice pic!!

I notice you are from CA. What species are legal to take with a bow? For fresh water I'm under the impression only carp or what we call squawfish. How about the ocean? I guess anything legal with a speargun would be legal with a bow??

Lamprey,squawfish-whitefish ie (Pike Minnow)and carp inland.Stngrays,mako,and blue sharks
My biggest carp is 41 lbs,buddy shot a 57 lber in the delta

common over to the il. river and get all the asian carp, invasive species taking over. they even come flying out of the river if you like a moving target.
