Has anyone fished for or caught a bowfin? They are vicious fighters and hit baits hard. I have seen them but haven't landed any yet.

I just heard a story the other day of a guy catching one at a bass tournament around here and it went 8 lbs. I've never caught one though. Most folks around here call them "dogfish".

OO and i should still have the hole body/skull as i put it in the ground about 2-3 years ago and was puting up my fence and saw a black trash bag wich i new it was the fish so i stop diging and did not put my pole up to hold my fence there and went around it. Ground is wet now so ill have to dig it up and see what i got
