Roy Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Good stuff, John. Discovering new fishies is always fun. And no, you don't want to be lipping either of those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12footspringbok Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I caught a massive bowfin last weekend the thing was at least 10 pounds... My fishing partner asked if I wanted it netted... I woulda cut my line if it didn't have my a 12 dollar lure hanging out of it mouth. In hindsite i really should have taken a pictutre of it... It was kinda cool looking in a scary way.
