Sons Bowfin


Recommended Posts

Haven't had the boat out as of yet, but my son and I have been hitting local rivers and inlets around Innisfil on Simcoe. Today he caught a 7-8 pound Bowfin. He caught it all by himself, I'm surprised the line didn't snap! Got a good picture of it flipping out of our hands. He managed to catch some sunfish, rockbass, bass, perch, Bowfin, and 2 gobies today which we killed.

The smile on the little guys face tells the whole story !!

I never caught a bowfin, infact don't think I've ever even seen one but they sure look like they could give you a real tussle.

Oh ya it was a good fight, I’ve never caught one either lol! His rod was bent over like crazy. 

We used to catch them once in awhile were Akri is located, they seemed to average around 4=6 pounds, they get much bigger though, one of my friends got one pushing 20 pounds there.
