First Dogfish, no camera!

Well I caught my first Bowfin the other day and what do you know?  NO CAMERA.  Man, these species really fight, I caught quite a dandy too, about 25".  I didn't bring the camera because I thought I would only be catching Largemouth. 

I was just going out on the lake for an evening fish with no real expectations of catching much.  I pulled something out of the bait box that I am not sure  if I have ever used, a bigger "Bass-O-Reno".  It is a frog colored top water bait.  I was fishing at about 8:00 at night.  Yeah, this is my new favorite lure.  I reeled in 5 nice bass about 16" and had a bigger one throw the hook when it jumped.  It was so much fun, but the highlight was when I had something hit it hard as soon as it hit the water on the cast.  I thought for sure it was a Pike, but this thing really fought!  Got it to the boat and there it was, my first Bowfin!  I am sold on these fish, I wanna catch more.
