ABM, I heard they are about as bad as a rutting `bou! With all the other kinds of fish you have to choose from up there, I would pick something else for the table. Hows the little one? Must be a year by now, my son's first is in three weeks(thats how I remembered about yours)

ive herad gar are excellent table fare is fixed right but i cant eat them becuase of water contamination anyways but carp are a delicacy in qurope and im sure they could be great to if fixed right

Eelpout are a great! Cut out the back straps, boit pieces in some crab boil, dip it in butter. Mmmmm just like lobster!

MA, on the 7th she'll be a year old. Feels just like yesterday she was born though! Man it goes quick! :)

Thanks for the info guys, still don't know if I'll get the chance to go bowfishing for these guys yet. If I cast some lures in the water, it will probably be for something else.
