    ST. ALBANS BAY, Vt. - The hunter's prey darted into the
    shadows, just out of reach of Henry Demar's gun.

    "Come on, stand up and be counted," Mr. Demar whispered
    excitedly. "There was a ripple that came out of the weeds.
    There's something out there."

    Dressed in camouflage, gripping his .357 Magnum, Mr. Demar
    was primed to shoot. But this time, no such luck. With a
    flick of its tail, his quarry - a slick silvery fish - was
    gone.

    Fish shooting is a sport in Vermont, and every spring,
    hunters break out their artillery - high-caliber pistols,
    shotguns, even AK-47's - and head to the marshes to
    exercise their right to bear arms against fish.

    It is a controversial pastime, and Vermont's fish and
    wildlife regulators have repeatedly tried to ban it. They
    call it unsportsmanlike and dangerous, warning that a
    bullet striking water can ricochet across the water like a
    skipping stone.

    But fish shooting has survived, a cherished tradition for
    some Vermont families and a novelty to some teenagers and
    twenty-somethings. Fixated fish hunters climb into trees
    overhanging the water (some even build "fish blinds" to sit
    in), sail in small skiffs or perch on the banks of marshes
    that lace Lake Champlain, on Vermont's northwest border.

    Yeah, I can see where a hook and line would not be enough fun.

    Yes, unfortunately the Jews and the dog hunters both have so far shared a similar fate. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

    You guys have never shot pike? All the bridges on the creeks here on the Rez will be covered in people when ice goes out.Concussion makes em float real good.Usually we just spear them at night though.

    Wanna trade? I'd rather eat walleye than pike anyday but there's not a lot else to shoot in March.Hell y'all don't need pike down there to have toothy fish,as I recall even yer baitfish has teefs.

    What is the deal with young heinrich? Sorry you missed your little neonazi reunion out in sanfransisco, but I feel sure there will be another soon. You may or may not care, but Jesus was a Jew. God's chosen people. No, I am American Redneck. Just a word of caution though, tenderfoot.
