@@dalt1020they do actually these fish are know to feast on algae, and with that many fish in there is very likely there is an over abundance of algea that need to be delt with, and when the algea supply get low enough they’ll either move on, or die and their body will turn in to nutrient for the lower river stream, another reason they’re there is they’re migrating to another river, or breeding season needing shallow water for their fry to survive from predators, and killing them will negatively affect the environment.

If one bowfisher did that in one day, standing in that one spot, I’d say you have an invasive fish problem, and that won’t even put a dent in the problem.
That’s my point, it would have taken a bowfisher a few days to do that, and if they did it in a few hours standing in that spot, native or not, that river was choked with fish. More than likely some sort of mass die off in the river, and that’s where they got deposited…and btw, most of those are carp, which are invasive
There is no way that a bow fisherman shot all those from one spot and at least some would have visible shot holes. These were either netted & dumped there or poisoned and the river dumped them there when it had a high flow.
I don't see a single arrow mark on those fish, and as a bowfisherman I can garuntee you it would be obvious. Standing on your fellow sportsman to make a dime off the propoganda on social media is just as irresponsible as wastefully killing fish.

Nobody sat there bow fishing for 12 hours straight getting a successful hit every 5 minutes just to reel them in and throw them on the shore in a pile. That is a mass die-off due to chemicals or an obstruction upstream or a breakage downstream that caused a rapid drop in the water level in that leg of the river. See how they're ALL below the bank and high water mark?

I'd have an authority check either way - but all the moreso if this is a chemical problem, as that adds more concern to the situation, not less.

That's just disrespectful. We either bury them for fertilizer or throw them away if we cannot use them.
Yeah, after looking closely I agree with the guys that say this was an environmental fish kill (low oxygen, chemical pollution, ect.) and not bow fishermen.

@@dalt1020there’s that many other species of fish in the river they are just bigger and plus they play a role in the food chain of that ecosystem killing them will cause it to collapse there’s a reason they are there
As a Fisherman, it never ceases to amaze me at the shitty things people do. Ive found illegal nets full of dead trout and small mouth bass. One local spot we took a metal trash can out to an bolted it to a tree, an people still absolutely refuse to use it. They throw their empty bait containers, cigarette butts an packs, beer cans, an more right in the water or leave it on the shore. When theres a big ass sign saying theres a trash can. You cant miss it. Its sad that every single time i go fishing i leave with a bag FULL of trash from other people.
I’ve learned that smokers are the most disrespectful people around. They fling them butts anywhere and think “it’s just a butt. It will biodegrade!” When in fact the filter isn’t a natural biodegradable product and it infact will not biodegrade. It makes me sick the things I’ve seen. People filling bottles and cans with water so they sink to the bottom, putting rocks or dirt in bags and bait containers so they sink as well. What ever happened to “take only pictures and leave only footprints?”
Thank you for picking up behind those idiots. Some people never seem to understand the golden rules of this Planet. Treat all living things as you want to be treated and since everything is energy, everything is living, therefore we should be living life filled with personal responsibility, compassion, love and respect. People seem to forget Mother Earth is our mother as she provides for us always. Without her we have no home. Not only do we rely on her for living but so does everything else that is living on this planet. So sad people can’t at minimum have some personal responsibility to pick up behind themselves.
It just doesn't look man made.. someone....with a bow no less sat there...hitting every target fish and just dropping them on the ground with out any spot of blood....either some toxic substance flowed through or the water became deoxigenized and they died
The fish were killed by a leaking pipe at a nuclear plant spilling hot water into the river and increasing the temperature too much and too fast. Not a case of radiation.
What’s even more disappointing is that’s your fishing spot and your clueless as to what actually happened and thought to yourself “ oh a bow fisherman did this”
He very well could be fishing toxic water right now and doesn't give a shit😂 Any fisherman with a brain will take a look at this and be like nope Bye i'm out😂 This is a die off and you don't know what caused it
@@North_Star_Fishing you can't tell if water has pollutants in it 99% of the time by looking at it unless it's oil or something like that. You haven't addressed one of the comments calling you out for saying this is for bow hunting when it is clearly not. It could have even been something bacterial or viral that doesn't affect other species much or at all.
As a bowfisherman this is not acceptable behavior and gives us bow fisherman that kill invasive species a bad image game wardens would take care of these people with a want and waste ticket don't be these guys !
They look like carp to me. Although I'm not from the USA so I dont know. Here in Australia, if some one did that to carp, they'd be hailed as a hero, and rightfully so. Do that to a native species, and you'll be fined your life savings and those of your past three generations, again, rightfully so
No evidence that it was bow fisherman. It looked like to me that these fish were washed up by the manor I which they were concentrated in a long row up against the bank…but I’m no professional and I’m not about to blame a group of people without evidence
He came to this conclusion because in the U.S seeing this is very common. Many people are under a false impression that native fish such as buffalo, and quillback aswell as naturalized common carp are for some reason invasive. Due to this thinking many bowfishermen in large groups will fish all night in boats with big lights which make it easy to spot these fish, subsuqently collect the fish, and take them to a dumping spot which is exactly what is happening here. Had this been natural causes (i.e chemicals, o2 levels, storm, algae bloom, etc.) there would be no possible way for the fish to end up 15 feet from the bank, and there would not be a fish fileted. (pause the video a singular buffalo is fileted close to the bank) This is the work of inethical bowfishermen; end of story.
@@colinferrell8865 15 feet…and no bow fishing wounds…and if the fish are that rare, it would logically mean there was some other explanation than a bunch of uneducated bow fishers out for a night of idiocy.
Not due to bowfishing, there are no arrow marks. Most likely died due to chemicals and floated downriver then were pushed ashore. Unfortunate, but not due to bowfishing.
The fish were killed by a leaking pipe at a nuclear plant spilling hot water into the river and increasing the temperature too much and too fast. Not a case of radiation.
Except that it's a RIVER problem that has caused this. Like some oxygen or bacterial problem or toxin. That's WHY they are all so close to the edge. It's NOT a fisherman.
The Nisqually Indian tribe does this exact same thing several times a year because they’re allowed to run a net across the river, and then they dump half the fish (which they never needed to begin with) on the banks to rot.
@@Depressed-boy0Bro I know. It's crazy. I literally just stubbed my toe from watching this video about whoever left those fish like that. And I'm all the way in Florida. The consequences are endless.
I cant see proof of arrow marks. Ive bowfished my whole life. It would be near impossible to make a pile that large of any kind of fish in one spot. You sure it isnt water quality or something?
It's water quality, It's a mask eye off because of possibly low oxygen a chemical ammonia anything, It's completely natural and he just had to make up a bullshit story about it for attention😂
Every time he says 'mirror', thats a carp. A lot of those fish are carp, invasive species as others said. Carp are destructive and not game fish, remove them. The others look snagged, not hit with arrows. No holes. They may have used nets, only kept the ones they wanted. Odd, a lot of them could have made it back in the water with a couple of flips. Story he made up has holes. I'm always suspicious of the ones who find these things, blame the internet for my lack of trust.
Looked like carp to me. Carp which someone probably introduced from a live market and can easily overwhelm a natural environment. And I see no blood or arrow generation's on a SINGLE fish.
Nope people wanna take a natural die off and make up a story about it. This stuff happens all the time it's extremely common😂 This is what happens when water quality shifts or something happens In the body of water they live in, It could have been an ammonious bike. It could have been a blockage upstream. It could have been a bunch of different things but it definitely wasn't human caused😂
I’ve hit close to that in a day but that’s because I was hitting double kills but where I’m from fish and game wildlife tells you to kill carp on sight and NOT to throw them back
@acid6urns sure global warming by humans but that's it, I'd have to go watch the video again, but Did you know that salmon die off at the end of breeding season... Mass die offs happen so often they're so common, It happens to our main pond every single year with the gold fish. I am a fish keeper and even slightly too high. Ammonia will kill off the whole tank within hours, And when you have massive amounts of fish in one area, the ammonia and lack of oxygen leads to massive die offs, It's natural And supercomment like you go to any river The right time of year and you will find some kind of mass die off Google it 🤣🤣
@@Angling_addict I watched it back a few times before commenting. It could be holes but also just looks like dirt. Not convinced but maybe it's just video quality.
This is horrible,its got to be a crime...and if you were going to wipe out a certain species,you wouldnt leave the dead fish to rot on the bank,thatll be absolutely disgusting in a few days
It doesn't matter what he thought they were, they got no business being out there if he can't identify the species of fish he targeting, and if the method makes it to difficult then the same thing applies
I see no holes in the fish leading me to believe it was a bow fisherman doing this, as previously stated it looks more like an oxygen depleted waterway kill, maybe even a heavy wastewater discharge. Stop blaming others if you have no proof!
If they are carp, they are not native to any body of water in all of North America. They are classified as an invasive species so the bow fishers were doing the native fish a favor!!!!!!!!!!!
In Australia carp make up over 70% of all freshwater biomass, they’re hyper successful invasive species and bow fishing is a very effective method to pull them out of the water ways
the idea that recreational fishing of any sorts could affect the population is ridiculous, turn them into a resource we have managed to put fish populations at risk all over the globe that way, food, feed, fertilizer, oil, hell their skin makes crazy looking leather. that would make a dent at least.
Lying?.. Broadheads make big holes...they are only used on big game.. field tips are used on small stuff..you wouldn't see the hole on cam...but that didn't stop you from making a stupid assumption... I'm guessing you're a know-it-all, ..like most.. that knows nothing.
@@Scotty2hotty-69 ever hear of a claw point expandable or any of probably ten different tip options?? No, because you'd rather accuse someone of lying than asking a question...that would be my main point. You're truly brilliant
You're out here defending common carp. They are the most destructive non native fish in the country. Even more so than silver carp. Also if you think the maybe 20 buffalo in that pile is all the buffalo in the river, you're delusional. If these fish were shot during bowfishing im 100 percent against a pile being dumped like this and they should be caught and citated like any other angler who breaks the law. But if your state had fair and proper fish disposal like the ability to slit and sink fish the amount of dumping would be significantly less.
The fish were killed by a leaking pipe at a nuclear plant spilling hot water into the river and increasing the temperature too much and too fast. Not a case of radiation.
Most of those fish (probably all) died without ANY arrow marks on them at all!!! So stop blaming bowmen and start looking for the real cause of that die off.
I met a bow fisherman one time walking back to his truck with the fish still on the arrow. I asked if it was easy and he said "no, but its fun"..... I live in an area that without the cornfields, the irrigation ditches and canals and dams would be nothing but lakes, rivers and swampland (north central indiana) Loads of fish like that here, but bowfishing them? Yeah right. That is something else.
Not really, carp are actually really important for the environment, same with Buffalo, what really is bad for environment is bighead carp and silver carp
not a single arrow mark on those fish, as a bowfisherman if they were shot you would be able to tell. the hatred for bowfishing is so insane that when carp or buffalo die people assume it's us. smh
@ultramayhem2921 my bad, just would assume he would show the holes in the youtube short as well. that changes the situation a lot. people like this give us a bad rap.
@@North_Star_Fishingthat's all fine snd well by why aren't you addressing the lack arrow wounds on any fish and at least explain what makes you automatically assume it wad a bowfisherman?
I think it was probably an algae bloom or something that starved the water of oxygen and killed hundreds of fish at one time... wind or any small current would take them to the same area; now birds and raccoons have been tearing at the bodies. It's also true that someone could have also dumped some oil or something toxic... I'd wait to eat out anything out of there for while. 😐☠️☠️☠️ RIP fish buddies.
@TAlNTTICKLER 🤔 You think maybe a bunch of crows or vultures could have done that? I'm near the beach... we have a ton of seagulls who would make short work of the fish. There was a video where a guy put a nice sprayer into his big @ss pond to add more oxygen, keep things cleaner, have some movement on the water; it sounded perfect but stirred up this fine silt layer on the bottom of the pond which caused a massive die off; then a guy in the comments mentioned an algae bloom did the same thing to him. It's really a bummer all the way around no matter what happened. Take care 👍
That’s horrible. Such a slap in the face to real fishermen wildlife and conservation . That’s not fishing at all it’s just killing. He should be held accountable. Wait till you see what the illegal migrants do to the fish and waters .They don’t acknowledge those laws especially. Keeping all fish caught and crapping in the water coming soon.
The bad rep comes from carelessness. People take undersize animals, and they take well over the legal amount. This really does have a drastic effect on coastal life of all forms. Less fish, less food, less breeding, even less fish to catch. Littering, fishing in reserves or marine sanctuaries. Targeting species that you can't legally target. There's a lot of good to be fair. Fisherman pay fishing licensing which directly contributes to Australian fisheries which restock rivers, ponds, creeks and lakes with native fish, so by technicality, if you're a fisherman in Australia paying for a license, you're probably doing a lot more for the environment than many other people.
This makes me so pissed off who would do that especially to native fish and animals ima hunter and fisherman and this makes me very mad this is disgusting I don’t get how people can do such things
We have similar in uk but not for carp. Zander, American signal crayfish, Chinese mitten crab. If you catch these it's technically illegal putting them back
@@jmac0643 You’re thinking of Asian Carp. The fish in the video are European carp, considered naturalized, and smallmouth/black buffalo, which are native and were in that river before European settlement
Actual bowfisherman here, let’s analyse this scene. Lots of fish, little physical damage. Assuming you’re correct and this was done by arrow, the lack of physical damage rules out purpose made bowfishing equipment (bowfishing arrows are… special). Likewise, these can’t be kills from broadheads or expanders. We would see *gaping* holes in each fish if any of these were used. That leaves field points, which have nothing to hold the fish on them, meaning they would swim off and *maybe* die later. You definitely couldn’t reel them in without the fish slipping off by gravity. Blunts are not something I’ve tried bowfishing with. I can’t see them penetrating deep enough to hit a fish, let alone still carry kinetic energy to kill it with. If a blunt did kill these, it would explain the lack of damage, but not how the bodies were stacked up. Reviewing my practical knowledge and experience, I can’t say that these appear to be bowfished without close up shots evidencing use of broadheads or bowfishing arrow points. There would be a circular puncture wound with thin ‘fins’ where the razor sharp blades passed through. A bowfishingarrow hit would have punctures on the ‘exit’ side due to the barbs they use. Alternatively, if the arrows were simply ripped out, there would be a gaping hole of ripped flesh. I can’t see it. Edit: I had another look, and the video quality simply isn’t good enough to support what little of the scene bowfishing *could* have caused. There are certainly some fish in this video with blood on them, but blood does not equal bow. Blood could mean predator or scavenger. Evidence against that blood being from an arrow is presented at the 10 second mark in the fish in the upper middle of the screen. The one with half its body blended into the ground. Arrows don’t do that. To me it looks likes scavengers have had at it after a chemical or biological event. Algae can do this. Pollution from upstream, too. Edit2, same time as edit 1: we also need to talk about quantity. Unless you’re standing on the site of the international bowfishing championships, that’s an *insane* catch for bowfishing. Indiscriminate or otherwise. Solo or in a group. Anyone can throw a worm on a hook into a puddle and wait. Anyone can yeet a lure and drag it back. Bowfishing, on the other hand, requires intermediate archery skills. You can’t catch everything that is in the puddle, purely because fish aren’t usually in range. If they’re not in the top few feet of water, or if the water’s murky, the very top, you’re not hitting that fish. Once you’ve shot, every fish in the area is going to be spooked. You then have to wait for the fish to surface again before you can get another shot. If you miss, the fish scatter. An unskilled archer is not catching any fish. It’s a far higher barrier of entry than bait or lure. This quantity of fish, even with three or four people, would be a multiple day affair for bowfishing.
@@TheBhill videos like this get all sorts of things banned when they weren’t even to blame. I like my sport, and its a valuable invasive species control when done well.
I for got the name of the fish, i think its a invasive fish called the Asian carp. if it is then they were doing right for you by removing them. I agree the could have done something with them though
Those fish are considered invasive or an overpopulating trash fish in Texas and it's encouraged to catch a throw onto the ground here not back into the water .
Smallmouth buffalo are native to Texas. Often mis identified as carp but lack the barbels on the mouth. Asian carp are invasive. Hence the name Asian and it ain’t because they can’t drive and are good at math
What really sucks is the buffalo. I wish that idiot knew the difference but despite how much people like to catch carp, they are terrible for our native fish. This was really bad for a couple fish and great for the rest that weren't them.. well, it probably didn't even make a dent actually.
Yeah bro like I'm still okay when U catch and eat them but this? At least free them back. What a waste, if you don't want to eat them just throw them back in the water bro. Every creature wants to live.
As a fisherman, this makes me so angry. Who in their right mind thought this was a good idea? It just ruins the sport for everyone and gives us all a bad reputation.

As a Fisherman, it never ceases to amaze me at the shitty things people do. Ive found illegal nets full of dead trout and small mouth bass. One local spot we took a metal trash can out to an bolted it to a tree, an people still absolutely refuse to use it. They throw their empty bait containers, cigarette butts an packs, beer cans, an more right in the water or leave it on the shore. When theres a big ass sign saying theres a trash can. You cant miss it. Its sad that every single time i go fishing i leave with a bag FULL of trash from other people.
I live on a very popular fishing lake and nearly all the public fishing spot are nasty full of trash and smells of human waste. It's ridiculous.
Stupid people trying to be more important than they are taking out their hatred for the roots in nature they share with animals.

I’ve learned that smokers are the most disrespectful people around. They fling them butts anywhere and think “it’s just a butt. It will biodegrade!” When in fact the filter isn’t a natural biodegradable product and it infact will not biodegrade. It makes me sick the things I’ve seen. People filling bottles and cans with water so they sink to the bottom, putting rocks or dirt in bags and bait containers so they sink as well. What ever happened to “take only pictures and leave only footprints?”
Thank you for picking up behind those idiots. Some people never seem to understand the golden rules of this Planet. Treat all living things as you want to be treated and since everything is energy, everything is living, therefore we should be living life filled with personal responsibility, compassion, love and respect. People seem to forget Mother Earth is our mother as she provides for us always. Without her we have no home. Not only do we rely on her for living but so does everything else that is living on this planet. So sad people can’t at minimum have some personal responsibility to pick up behind themselves.
That’s not from a fisherman. Those fish died their of natural causes due to nature. I grew up in Minn. and have seen that often.

U.S seeing this is very common. Many people are under a false impression that native fish such as buffalo, and quillback aswell as naturalized common carp are for some reason invasive. Due to this thinking many bowfishermen in large groups will fish all night in boats with big lights which make it easy to spot these fish, subsuqently collect the fish, and take them to a dumping spot which is exactly what is happening here.
Had this been natural causes (i.e chemicals, o2 levels, storm, algae bloom, etc.) there would be no possible way for the fish to end up 15 feet from the bank, and there would not be a fish fileted. (pause the video a singular buffalo is fileted close to the bank)

Every time he says 'mirror', thats a carp. A lot of those fish are carp, invasive species as others said. Carp are destructive and not game fish, remove them.
The others look snagged, not hit with arrows. No holes. They may have used nets, only kept the ones they wanted. Odd, a lot of them could have made it back in the water with a couple of flips.

In some states sterilized grass carp are stocked.
A mirror carp is a carp with a scale mutation. They are rare. Some mirror carp will just have a few oversized scales, others will have alot!
Looked like carp to me. Carp which someone probably introduced from a live market and can easily overwhelm a natural environment. And I see no blood or arrow generation's on a SINGLE fish.

You're out here defending common carp. They are the most destructive non native fish in the country. Even more so than silver carp. Also if you think the maybe 20 buffalo in that pile is all the buffalo in the river, you're delusional. If these fish were shot during bowfishing im 100 percent against a pile being dumped like this and they should be caught and citated like any other angler who breaks the law. But if your state had fair and proper fish disposal like the ability to slit and sink fish the amount of dumping would be significantly less.

I think it was probably an algae bloom or something that starved the water of oxygen and killed hundreds of fish at one time... wind or any small current would take them to the same area; now birds and raccoons have been tearing at the bodies. It's also true that someone could have also dumped some oil or something toxic... I'd wait to eat out anything out of there for while. 😐☠️☠️☠️ RIP fish buddies.
@TAlNTTICKLER 🤔 You think maybe a bunch of crows or vultures could have done that? I'm near the beach... we have a ton of seagulls who would make short work of the fish. There was a video where a guy put a nice sprayer into his big @ss pond to add more oxygen, keep things cleaner, have some movement on the water; it sounded perfect but stirred up this fine silt layer on the bottom of the pond which caused a massive die off; then a guy in the comments mentioned an algae bloom did the same thing to him. It's really a bummer all the way around no matter what happened. Take care 👍

Crap like that is why fisherman get a bad reputation. Smh
The bad rep comes from carelessness. People take undersize animals, and they take well over the legal amount. This really does have a drastic effect on coastal life of all forms. Less fish, less food, less breeding, even less fish to catch. Littering, fishing in reserves or marine sanctuaries. Targeting species that you can't legally target. There's a lot of good to be fair. Fisherman pay fishing licensing which directly contributes to Australian fisheries which restock rivers, ponds, creeks and lakes with native fish, so by technicality, if you're a fisherman in Australia paying for a license, you're probably doing a lot more for the environment than many other people.

@@jmac0643no the fuck they do not dumbass….. buffalofish are native
@@jmac0643 You’re thinking of Asian Carp. The fish in the video are European carp, considered naturalized, and smallmouth/black buffalo, which are native and were in that river before European settlement
Actual bowfisherman here, let’s analyse this scene.
Lots of fish, little physical damage. Assuming you’re correct and this was done by arrow, the lack of physical damage rules out purpose made bowfishing equipment (bowfishing arrows are… special). Likewise, these can’t be kills from broadheads or expanders. We would see *gaping* holes in each fish if any of these were used.
That leaves field points, which have nothing to hold the fish on them, meaning they would swim off and *maybe* die later. You definitely couldn’t reel them in without the fish slipping off by gravity.
Blunts are not something I’ve tried bowfishing with. I can’t see them penetrating deep enough to hit a fish, let alone still carry kinetic energy to kill it with. If a blunt did kill these, it would explain the lack of damage, but not how the bodies were stacked up.
Reviewing my practical knowledge and experience, I can’t say that these appear to be bowfished without close up shots evidencing use of broadheads or bowfishing arrow points. There would be a circular puncture wound with thin ‘fins’ where the razor sharp blades passed through. A bowfishingarrow hit would have punctures on the ‘exit’ side due to the barbs they use. Alternatively, if the arrows were simply ripped out, there would be a gaping hole of ripped flesh.
I can’t see it.
Edit:
I had another look, and the video quality simply isn’t good enough to support what little of the scene bowfishing *could* have caused. There are certainly some fish in this video with blood on them, but blood does not equal bow. Blood could mean predator or scavenger. Evidence against that blood being from an arrow is presented at the 10 second mark in the fish in the upper middle of the screen. The one with half its body blended into the ground. Arrows don’t do that.
To me it looks likes scavengers have had at it after a chemical or biological event. Algae can do this. Pollution from upstream, too.
Edit2, same time as edit 1: we also need to talk about quantity. Unless you’re standing on the site of the international bowfishing championships, that’s an *insane* catch for bowfishing. Indiscriminate or otherwise. Solo or in a group.
Anyone can throw a worm on a hook into a puddle and wait. Anyone can yeet a lure and drag it back. Bowfishing, on the other hand, requires intermediate archery skills. You can’t catch everything that is in the puddle, purely because fish aren’t usually in range. If they’re not in the top few feet of water, or if the water’s murky, the very top, you’re not hitting that fish. Once you’ve shot, every fish in the area is going to be spooked. You then have to wait for the fish to surface again before you can get another shot. If you miss, the fish scatter. An unskilled archer is not catching any fish. It’s a far higher barrier of entry than bait or lure.
This quantity of fish, even with three or four people, would be a multiple day affair for bowfishing.
