Snakeheads vs Bowfins

with a few posts here regarding Snakeheads...

PLEASE be sure that a Snakehead is a Snakehead and not the very similar Bowfin that is a NATIVE species before "killing" the fish!

The current NJFFD clearly shows the difference (page 40)

Kill the Snakehead and release the bowfin...When caught they look very similar and the anal fin appears to be the diagnostic marker...see page 40 above

Just trying to keep it sane
