Catching Bowfin out of the swamp

[tiefsa]

I went to a swampy lake because there are bowfin in there. I was targeting them because I'm in a fishing tournament where the goal is to catch as many different freshwater fish species (non micro) that you can during the month of June. I found three other fish species in there, too. It was a battle to land this fish through the slop, but thankfully, it stayed on the hook in a pile of weeds until I could kayak over to net it.
