He Made a Big Catch the Way They Did in Sherwood Forest

For a change of pace, novice archer John Helnatz of Rosamond went fishing with a bow and arrow at Black Rock on the Owens River near Independence. He shot a 9-pound 13-ounce carp.

It was perfectly legal. With a few territorial restrictions, taking carp--officially, a non-gamefish--with archery gear is generally allowed in California.
