Bowfin are a prehistoric-looking fish that give anglers a run for their money. These tough fighters can grow up to 30 inches and pack a mean bite. You'll find them lurking in weedy, low-oxygen waters where other fish struggle. They're most active at night, so evening trips can be productive. Bowfin breathe air, making them resilient in challenging conditions. While not prized for eating, their aggressive strikes and powerful runs make for an exciting catch. They'll hit a variety of baits, but I've had luck with cut bluegill on the bottom. Just watch those teeth when unhooking - they're not shy about using them! For a unique fishing experience that takes you back in time, bowfin are hard to beat. They may not win beauty contests, but they'll definitely keep you on your toes.
