What kinda fish is this?

I kinda like them. I caught a 4 pound bowfin once while fishing for LM and it destroyed my spinnerbait. Got to love a fish that is only 4 pounds and will demo a lure. I thought I had a 10 pound LM on when it hit.

O ya its a bowfin. I will almost guarantee i will have of photo of myself and a bowfin when i get back from Kingston. Every year we catch these fish and as said we always think they are going to be a 10 pound largemouth, these things grow pretty big my pappa caught one 2 years ago and weighed 8 1/2 pounds no lie. My biggest is around 4lbs. Mean fish but they give lot's of fight!

Coelacanth!!

 

bowfin it is. I've heard the term dogfish as well.

 

Feisty buggers though. I've had some run ins with em.

 

Like Roy said. Don't lip em. Their mouthparts are made for crushing. I think I read somewhere that their bite pressure is the strongest of any fresh water fish!

 

I still think they're pretty though. ahhh lookit the little thing.. it's soo cute!
