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)

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.
