That does look like a lot of fun.

They are a lot of fun! I found a shallow bay on lake ontario where two of them lives. It's been the same two for about 3 years now. I managed to catch them a couple time a year but they are getting harder and harder to catch.The fun thing about those fish is that they don't get scared easily.We've been over them with the boat without them even moving.They really give a hard fight.The problem with those fish is that they are basically impossible to hold.With their snake shape the only option is to hold them like pikes but it is really hard to but your finger there without hurting the fish or yourself.

Bowfins are not shy. they compete with bass but I think they're more aggressive. They usually beat  bass on my senkos. Easy to miss the hookset because they hit differently.
