RE: Paddle fish
The limit is two a day. and they have to be a certain length depending on what body of water you catch them on. i am assuming thats why you can't shoot them because of the length limit. you know it would be hard to get a measurement on a fish that you just glance and shoot at, you know what i mean. so i guess thats why.

Phil, what's the limit in MO? I've always felt it odd that you can snag a certain amount of fish/per day but I can't "snag" them with an arrow. There should be a limitindependent onhow the fish were taken in my opinion. And don't even get me started on the whole jug fish/trot line catfishing = sporting and bowfishing for cats = not sporting????

yeah snagging is a blast. The season starts at midnight tomorrow night and i am pumped. the biggest i have caught is 82lbs. i hope i can break that tomorrow night. but yea the only thing that i could think of is the length requirement. i bow fish alot too. i rarely have arrows pull out. but who knows.

RE: Paddle fish
we are allowed to take paddlefish here (aka spoonbill ) you can get a free permit from the wildlife dept. here in oklahoma but you still have to place something on the fish after taking with your name and license number on it. my largest is 76 lbs with a snagging rod and 82 lbs with a bow. For better outdoors take a kid hunting & fishing it's our future. Randy
