Caught my first bowfin today

Awesome fish, a true living relic. Nice catch OP.
A shame many folks think they’re trash fish and advocate killing them for no reason.

[joezupp]

They are a blast to catch, you can let them go, cat right at them again and catch them a second time. Like a miniature muskie

[StellarSomething]

They pull like a freight train and are fun to catch. Just a missle that wants to eat

Are they good to eat? People say snakeheads are, but I don’t really know anything about bowfin.
