Yesterday evening I caught, then released a 23" 4.5 lb female bowfin with a 1/32 oz jig on 2 lb test in a small beaver pond in Central NJ.

Well, now we have the bowfins big brother, snakeheads. I saw a decent sized one yesterday farther north than I thought they had already spread. It was a lake fed by the river near bordentown. Guess they're spreading fast. This one had to be 5#+. |

Re: bowfin pic
Very cool! I always forget we have a population of bowfins swimming in some Jersey waters.

Yes indeed! Buddy of mine got a Snakehead north of Rt 80 last year! They are in, but not in huge numbers in the northern area!

Re: bowfin pic
People kill bowfin thinking they are snakeheads.....uggggh
Snakehead sightings should be reported to F&G. Nice fish, glad you got 'em, I've never even seen one.
