Here’s what you should do

This is a Bowfin and it has been around for over 150 million years, making it a true evolutionary survivor!

This lung-like organ allows the bowfin to gulp atmospheric air at the surface, enabling it to thrive in warm, stagnant or completely oxygen depleted swamps where other fish would suffocate. If its water source dries up during a severe drought, a bowfin can burrow into the damp mud and survive for weeks by breathing air until the rains return.

Reminder this is NOT a snakehead, if you catch something that looks like this make sure you identify it properly so you don’t dispatch the wrong species. Snakehead are invasive and should be removed, bowfin are native and should be released.

Big fish out of a big hole! These giant fish are sitting and waiting for something to swim by so they can shoot out and strike!

Try this next time you’re catfishing if you get bored of sitting and waiting around for a bite!

Tried out a new angle for creek fishing and it looks decent! Almost like having a drone overhead
