I got a kick out of that. But I actually do spear time to time.
I dont know how many of you have speared before, but I've speared a few times in AR. Its popular on Bull Shoals. Mostly for walleyes. Its extremely challenging and takes a whole different skill set. I do know the regulations are extremely tight in AR. The amount you can keep is 1/2 of what you can with a rod and reel. Spearing and diving have taught me more about a lake and its fishery then I have learned staying on the surface. I have gained a lot of knowledge on fish, relation to structure, and how fish hold to that structure by watching it first hand. The ironic thing about this is I've never hit my max limit on spearing. If I kept all legal fish fishing I'd hit the max a whole lot faster.
