yes bowfin too. iv never caught one, they are a rare catch i hear they fight hard.


Do they ever!! I caught one several years back while bass fishing using a floating frog and holy crap can they put up a great fight!! I was surprised at what was on the end of my line, now I see them quite often when fishing the lillypads for bass, always hoping to hook into another one!

You sure it was a bowfin you caught,sounds like a gar pike.



I know the difference between the two and they look quite different- so I would surprised if anyone confused the two, and I was quite surprised. I target gar often and yes, they fight two. But believe me, the bowfin hit the frog and surprised the hell out of me.

yeah pretty hard to get those two species confused literally look nothing alike, though they do prefer habitat at certain times of the year.
