Let me clarify.
Spearfishing is fine. get in the water with the shark and go after it with a spear that connects you to the shark... not my cup of tea, but more 'sporting' than shooting a shark with an arrow from a boat.

In other states Bowfishing is huge. Saltwater Bowfishing for rays and such is a giant sport. Keep in mind I catch and release hundreds of stripers each year. It was an idea for a show because I have never seen it done and have tons of friends that fish shark tourneys . I figured someone here might be able to answer the question about if it was legal or not. As for WHY.....I like to shoot things with sharp sticks. It's not about killing something it's about finding something that has never been done and making it happen. My idea was to rig a bowfishing setup with heavier line and a tuna ball. I dont think a mid size shark will take it down before it expires.

How do you figure? Other than the shark not being able to eat you because your on a boat what is the difference? I guess everyones idea of sporting is a little different. I say go for it.
