These folks take things to the next level with underwater bowfishing. After having little success above water, these three guys had an epiphany to get down in the water with the carp.

Underwater duck hunting?

Believe I have seen a video of a fish jumping out of the water to snag a flying bird, so it has been done.

I know what I will be doing when the water warms up!

[Sergio]

Very cool, but wouldn’t a speargun work better?

[outofsalt]

They didn’t try potato salad?!
I remember seeing a video of a native American shooting salmon as they swam up a waterfall with a handmade bow. Beautiful! I’m not sure why you would want to catch a carp.

Where is your pioneer spirit?

[gundog]

A billion Chinamen can’t be wrong.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Because you don’t have any salmon!

Carp make good mulch.

[outofsalt]

Chinese mulch. Got it.

As a practical matter, they’re invasive and best gotten rid of. It’s also a kick in the ass to bowhunt them. If they’re from clean water, they’re not too bad to eat.

[TexasCajun]

That's only necessary when Corn, Sausage, Peperoni and Slim Jims don't work.

I’m not sure why you would want to catch a carp.

Caught from clean water they are a decent food fish.

[outofsalt]

By the time you clean the fillets from the rib bones you have enough meat for a snack but, you’re right, if you go to the trouble it is tasty.
