2010 Bowfishing (DUW)

[mainbutter]

I was wondering that too! It looks a lot like one

It's a bowfin, a native to much of the US and a fairly rare fish in many parts, but in some places in the midwest is plentiful. The males get some rather surprising bright blue coloration on their faces and parts of their body during spawning.

Good shooting, keep it up!

P.S. do you make use of your catch? I don't mind throwing carp in the dumpster, but that bowfin and white sucker are pretty good eating according to the scandinavian friends of mine here in MN

I was thinking of taking up bowfishing and chasing suckers, pickling them is the way to go and my gf's family is just gaga for pickled fish. Finns are funny that way.
