I have been pokin around when looking at bow fishing gear at bass pro and noticed all the crossbows they have, are the rules the same for crossbow fishing or are they different? Thanks!

I have never heard of bowfishing with a crossbow. I would assume that the rules are the same, but increasing velocity in bowfishing does not produce any kind of great advantage. The hard-core bowfishermen I know all shoot bows with 40-50 pound draw weights (really light). I am not sure of how you would set up a crossbow dart to accept a bowfishing line and still fire correctly/effectively. Plus, you'd have to really do some custom modification to fit a reel or line spool on a crossbow. Not saying it can't be done, but it will not be easy.
