Some description of the waters where you caught the bowfin please. Depth and trolling speed would also be interesting. I am pretty familiar with the Upper Great Lakes(fishery scientist who worked on Lake Superior for nearly 30 years) and am shocked by that fish if it came from the Georgian Bay.

I am pretty familiar with the Upper Great Lakes(fishery scientist who worked on Lake Superior for nearly 30 years) and am shocked by that fish if it came from the Georgian Bay. Jim, it came from GB. We were casting big 11" dive and rise jerkbaits over rock humps. Clear water, surrounding water was 20-30 feet. This shoal topped out at 5 feet deep, and he was on the side of it. Blasted up off bottom and hit at boatside... We have them in closer in the murky water often, where it's really weedy. But this fella was a strange catch for sure out there!

I never realized there were grinnel that far north. Me either, thought they were a southern thing Put up a good fight on rod and reel Dad always said eat them right out of the grease because if they cooled it was like chewing a cotton ball
