Awesome Bowfin videos!
These were posted over at the BAG site, and I had to share them.
The first shows what looks to be a 10 pounder performing a few aerial stunts in Florida during a fight (watch when she gets near the boat): http://www.bigbassshow.com/Daily/0515_2012.html
The second is underwater footage of another large female in lake Champlain who puts on a show with her dorsal fin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbD8L5mXgcg&feature=relmfu

Yes, Bowfin often attack baits used for LM Bass and other game fish. They should be considered a gamefish, because they primarily eat other animals. Their diet is primarily crayfish and fishes. More importantly, the fight hard and jump like crazy. And they have a mouthful of teeth.
The Bowfin's range extends as far west as Texas in the South and Iowa in the north, with a few states on the Mississippi's western shore in between (and into southern mid-Canada).
