I just think of them more as a sportfish than a rough fish to be shot. Plus, doesn't it take them a long time to grow to that size?
No actually they grow quite fast and are a detriment, (spelling), to some fisheries. Thus the reason almost all states consider them a trash fish and actually encourage bow fisherman to take them. They are getting so thick in Cumberland it's ridiculous. Earlier this year all over the lake there were spots it looked like I could have walked across their backs to shore. Shoot the tar out of'em boys. As Uncle Ted would say, ''Whack'em, Pack'em and Stack'em''.
