This bowfin is trying to fight back from becoming a meal, losing its head won’t stop this determined fish.

Watch a fish dinner try and turn the tables on some poor woman and bite the hand that’s trying to make it into a fish fry. See the zombie fish in action here.

People eating bowfin is probably a better indicator of the economy than the gubbermint’s unemployment numbers. They must have gone through all the pigeons.
My experience has been that bowfin are like freshwater tarpon. Decent sportfish with some notable jumps, but bony and flavorless.

Mudfish(Bowfin) are great fighters but nasty.

You don’t even have to pay to get them in!

I can remember vacationing in northwest Michigan, up near Traverse City, one summer when I was about 13. We were camping and doing a lot of fishing, my four younger brothers and my parents, and, one day, I caught a 36-inch northern pike along with various other fish. When we brought it ashore and were cleaning it, my father cut its head off and it went into the "guts" pail. My 11-year old brother started poking at the pike head in the pail and touched something that he shouldn't have. The pike's mouth and teeth snapped shut on two of his fingers and he took off running, screaming and waving his hand around, with the pike's head clamped onto it.

He was cut up pretty good, but I still laugh out loud when I think of it or tell the story. I just sat there laughing my ass off while he went screaming around the camp.

Back in the 70’s my younger brother caught a big catfish in the Grand River, west of Grand Rapids Michigan. I told him I would cook it if he cleaned it. It took a pair of large pruning hooks to cut the head off and it proceeded to keep walking along the pavement. When my brother finished and put the edible part of the fish in the sink he was as white as a sheet.

You’ve got to be careful with the smaller channel cats. They will `gig’ you with that spiny fin just below the head. It may be a story but I heard somewhere they have some sort of poison in the spine.
One got me in the webbing between my thumb and forefinger years ago and it got infected, so heads-up novice whiskered fishers: mind the spines.

[publius911]

OK.
I watched it; several times.
I'm not a fisherman, but it shouldn't matter.

I still don't believe it.

[SaraJohnson]

Would you eat that thing? Not me. : )

Bowfin make good snacks for the ‘gators that follow your boat in the Everglades.
