Default This one wanted to be caught

Had a bowfin hit my lure today and release about 18" from the bow of the boat. It hung there staring at me. I poked it with the tip of my rod and it wouldn't go away, so I put the lure back into the water and did a figure 8, like muskie fishing. Caught the bowfin. Loads of fun with a light rod. Probably weighed 5 lbs.

This one wanted to be caught. Actually, bowfins get mad if they lose the lure. If you have a strike and miss, just throw back to the spot, it will be there waiting for the lure.

I'm not to sure about these folks http://www.bowfinanglers.com/index.html

We call em' "mudfish" down here. I caught an 8 lb. one in a bass tourney. Thought I had a hog for sure. They sure are toothy critters. Not as toothy as the gators that will often grab a top water plug down here.

Yes they do Calvin. I got into one about 3-4 pounds on the trip, but it's teeth cut the line before I could get him in the boat. It sure was fun. An ole carp is the same way.
