Can you identify this creature?

I have never found a single American who sought to eat Bowfin...

Supposedly tastes like a mix of spoiled carp, post spawn salmon and mud pond catfish!!!

We tried to avoid any bait they were hitting on... Lake Jessup in Seminole County Fla. had a crap load of them nasty prehistoric buggers!

Oklahoma recipe for them...
Nail the fish to a board and wrap in heavy duty aluminum foil and toss on a bed of hot coals. After about 90 minutes, remove from the fire, scrape off the fish and eat the board.

Sounds like one of my Mother-in-law's recipes... a couple of petrified biscuits on the side and you have a meal!
 
I've caught them plenty of time while catfishing. I simply insert my blade into the top of his head and back in the water he goes to carry on the circle of life :D
 
We call'em dogfish here in Iowa as well. I caught one that was about 10 lbs in a sand quarry, that was the biggest one I've seen until that skull.
