bowfisher
Shoots fish underwater
A bowfisher is someone who practices bowfishing—hunting fish with a bow and arrow rather than rod and line.
The arrows are typically barbed and attached to a reel, allowing retrieval of the catch.
Bowfishers often target carp, gar, and other species considered rough fish: The bowfishers worked the shallows at night with spotlights.
