Largemouth Bowfin

Friday's fishing report in the Times-Dispatch included a fellow catching a 13-lb bowfin. Since the fisherman is a competitive bass fisherman, he has had a bit of joshing about the bowfin. He winced when I asked if he tried to enter it in the bass tournament as a largemouth bowfin.

Still, a 13-lb fish on tacke built for 6 if you are lucky is a fun fight.
