That's a lot of garden fertilizer. which would be illegal in Texas http://tpwd.texas.gov/regulations/outdoo...ing-regulations"Waste of fish It is unlawful to leave edible fish or bait fish taken from the public waters of the state to die without the intent to retain the fish for consumption or bait." http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/PW/htm/PW.66.htm"Sec. 66.011.

Trash fish. Not a game animal per TPWD. Read the rules as they are currently written and not the way you want them to read.

Regulated NON-game species. And anything requiring an ax or machete to clean is not edible. I mean sure I guess you can eat anything but there are better non-trash fish alternatives.

People don't like gars, but I'm also on the side of letting the big ones go on about their business. They're becoming increasingly rare and it doesn't fit my personal set of hunting/fishing ethics to just toss one to die on the rocks for no good reason. If you want to eat it, great. Some people swear by them, but I am not one of those people.
They really are impressive animals if you can get past their relative grossness.
To each his own.

Not illegal. Nobody said they were leaving it anywhere. He said fertilizer, that means taking it home and using it for a purpose, not dumping it on the ramp. Take your "these fish are sacred" bs to the fishing forum where the rest of the snowflakes like yourself like to argue.

Fish is really great fertilizer. If u were to take fish home put it in your compost pile. It would turn into one of the best organic fertilizers ever. You know full circle type stuff.

No sir... you are incorect. Law has 0 to do with edibility. You may legaly leave carp and gar, as well as tilapia(actually illegal to let tilapia go most places) If not bowfishing would be shut down most places cause 99% of the ppl doing it would be getting tickets all the time.
Gar is a very specialized fish to clean beyond the level the government exspects sombody to do. Not saying ypu cant eat it, heard ppl love it... but when you need tin snips to get to the meat its not goung to be common

That's like saying I can't use MY deer meat at my house anyway I see fit. It's mine if I want to fertilize my garden with back strap, I will. It is being "consumed" and not wasted. The laws don't say I must EAT every piece of edible meat on my deer. The law you are quoting is for the dumping of fish at ramps or in other public places. Know what you are talking about before you ride in on a white steed to save the poor gar.
