Default Bowfin
About 6-7 bowfin in an hour of fishing. One of the best fighting fish I ever caught. The bait of choice was shiners cut in chunks.

I don't think we have many Bowfin in New Jersey.
I know I never caught anything that looks like that.

I checked their range map and it looks like they don't live around me.
