Craziest catch ever. Brought this monster all the way to the shore, where there was a steep drop. I did not want to lose it, so i jumped in for it, and just as I did, the line snapped and I pinned the fish in between my legs. I was able to pick it up and land it and boy was it BIG! Many of you have probably never seen this fish, but this is a Bowfin (or a Dogfish), depending on where you are.

      So is that a dogfish or a bowfin?

      Yes they are very slippery and will do the gator roll! I have lots of experience catching these, so thankfully i've never been injured by one!
