Pound for pound, they really are the best fighters of any freshwater fish. Even a four or five pounder will get your heart pumping! The thing to remember is that not only are they are a native fish, but they were here long before any bass, bluegill, catfish etc. They are an important part of the ecosystem, and should not just be caught and killed.
good for eating any smaller fishes and scavenging there's no point wasting time catching bream for bait just use a glob of chicken liver catch mudfish all day long they get way bigger than these too
I was using a popper because the creek was flooded and very muddy, and I thought it was a gar too but it was a chain pickerel! It was my first catch of a pike. They're the biggest ones where I live in Georgia(no Northern pike here sadly).
Hell yeah man, first video of yours I’ve seen and I’m all about it. I fish the same way a lot! Got the same mentality as well. I’m a largemouth guy but last year accidentally hit a bowfin on a crank bait in southern IL and it was a blast. I’ve been lookin up more about them just recently cause it was a blast. They’re a great fight. . Loved the video, glad I came across your channel!
In SC we aren’t allowed to keep Bowfin suppose to put it on ice and Call game warden it’s cool seeing y’all catch them man keep up the content love your channel man👊👊
You have to keep them alive. If you let them die the meat get mushy n you only can make patties and balls. But I love catching Bowfin we call them Choupic on Louisiana. I love the fight they put up. They are also some smart fish.
I fish for Bowfin in Fla . Definitely don't get the respect they deserve . Pound for pound they out fight any bass I've ever caught . They do wreck a lot of lures as I only use artificial mostly Rapalas . Tight lines .
Bowfin and chain pickerel on my bucket list.
Bowfin are amazing I'm in Michigan n they are everywhere
The hooks in the dip can is the most NC thing ever

@Austin Martín Hernández That's great! Did it get your heart pumping?

Love the video, I definitely have to go gar fishing now.
When I was Virginia I caught two back to back. One was 16 1/2 inches and the other was 17 inches
Use shrimp for bowfin!! With treble hook
