I am guessing he was close to 20 lbs. The skull is about 6 inches wide.

Hey Big P I live on the Florida side of Lake Seminole (assuming we're talking about the same one) I've never heard of this fish let alone seen one...

What you use for bait?

 

[JWT]

Haven't seen one in years. Still as ugly as they were when I used to catch em when I was a kid.

 

[huntinaz]

I thought that was a variant of the mother-in-law fish. I stand corrected.

Yep, bowfin or what some around here call a grennel. We used to catch them a lot in swampy sloughs while bass fishing. Tough fish. They can live in a mud hole that's half diesel fuel and survive being out of water way longer than most fish. They will absolutely destroy a bass lure with those teeth. LOL! Also the most inedible fish I know of here in Alabama. I've seen people grind up gar or carp into patties or balls and make it passable as table fare but not a grennel. I'd rather try to eat a shad.
