1 of the best fighting fish right there. Try getting them through the ice sometime its a blast. Coarse you'll have to travel for that.

Congrats on the catch. They look like they would be fun to fish for for sure. :)

I know a couple spots up here on Black Lake where I could just about guarantee a bowfin through the ice.  8)
