Spearfishing in MN

[Freedive WI]

I do know of one limnologist who shoots carp just because of the damage that they wreck upon the local habitiat making it much more difficult for local species to thrive. Since they are an invasive species, brought here about 100 years ago and let go into the wild, they have outcompeted many local fish and their foraging through the bottom uproots good plants which other fish need for their habitat.

While not normally a hunter, I do enjoy spearfishing, while freediving, for the challenge- and the food! ;D

Here's a buffalo, cousin to the carp and a rough fish, who didn't get away.
