Nice Bowfin!
I went to a very nice lake near Linger Lodge. Linger Lodge is a camp ground and old style trailer camp. Folks from all over the United States have been visiting since a long, long time ago.
I saw the fish near the shore, and I cast to it with a bread ball. It took it and I had a big fight on my hands! I finally got it in. I used my needle nose pliers to pull the hook out, it had big teeth that looked sharp so I wasn't going to put my fingers near his mouth.
The Bowfin is a really fun fish to catch and puts up a really big fight!
Tight lines!
