BobT...I don't know man? I've heard that they have something on them that is poison? Maybe it's on the skin, maybe in the intrails, maybe it's just an old wives tale?

I read somewhere that the liver has some sort of poison in it. I have also read tht people eat them. crazy.gif

The flesh is darker. Don't know if I'd eat it. We had a couple foreign exchange students from Brazil working for my dad once that caught two and ate them both. They really liked it, but they hadn't eaten much for fish in their lifetimes....who knows.

I know that the Bowfin should be an easy state record to topple. There was a tournament attempting to catch a new state record on Leech, but I think only like 3 people signed up and nobody caught on....tough to target if they aren't spawning I would guess.

Saw a pretty healthy one caught in ER last weekend, while I was fishing for bull heads. The guy caught it on a bobber and worm. This guy was yelling and jumping even after he had pulled it in.

I got into a little disagreement with my partner on the topic of dogfish and bowfin. My partner thinks they are different. I told him they are not, but I think he still does not believe me. Ah well.

I absolutely hate dogfish! I'm not afraid to admit it. I don't even let those things in my boat. Get them in the net, try to get the hook out, but if not, cut the line. Personally, that is one fish where I don't care how it fights. I'd rather not catch a fish than catch a dogfish.

That's just me though. smirk.gif

No, it looks like a huge tube jig with a fin with no spines in it, that seems to go all the way around lengthwise, from top to bottom and they have a black spot with an orange ring around it on that tail.

They have a smooth, rounded head that is as hard as a piece of field stone and beady eyes. They have a good set of teeth! Lots spike teeth like a walleye, not triangular like a pike, or pickerel.

I've heard them make gutteral noises when you pick em up to get your hook out...the noises probably sounded like a dog to the original namers, thus dogfish?

Thats about all I know about it, thats my story and I'm stickin to it! smile.gif
