20.0 in. Bowfin caught by Henry V fishing in North Carolina on 10/23/09
20.0" Bowfin caught by Henry V fishing on Friday October 23, 2009 at 17:48 near Chapel Hill in Orange County, North Carolina (NC), United States North America using a Rattl'n Rap by Rapala International

I lost a few fish recently because I didn't get strong hook sets, and if you don;t get a good set on a Bowfin's hard mouth it will burn you. So when this Bowfin grabbed my lure I set the hook like I meant it. It worked - the fish tried everything to spit the hook, but I got him.
