Last weekend I went to the Toronto Islands going after carp. The carp-fishing was unsuccessful but then I caught a bowfin. It was pretty cool.

Thats a nice MALE BOWFIN!

Some of the males have almost NEON GREEN GLOWING undersides.

Their Pectorials are also Dark Green.



The Females are mainly Black/Brown with White Undersides (Just like a Catfish).

Last week I saw a coupe males still hanging out and Protecting the Babies.

They swim around like a school of Tad poles.



Really neat to see the Males, Hanging out that long to look after the Kids.




About 3 weeks ago, I lost a BIG FEMALE (Must have been around 10 lbs - Biggest one I have ever saw out at the Islands).

She took the worm and then headed under some heavey cover.
 
Cool! I just put a spinnerbait in front of it and it went right after it. I'd say mine was about 10 lbs too
