I was piddling around at Ladders Lake last year, fishing with some fresh cut bream. I caught a monster mud fish (bowfin), it must have been like 12 pounds or so. Just as I was about to chunk it into the water to let it go, this fella come running at me saying "hey man, don't throw that thing back. He'll be supper tonight." I was thinking to myself this guy must be kidding, but he wasn't; as I watched him toss it into his bucket of water.
Call me funny, but i've never heard of eatting a bowfin. I've always enjoyed catching them, as they are a really strong and aggresive fish, but eatting them? I guess that's like Amber Jack. I've never heard of eatting AJ's, but the other day I got into a conversation with a BFT member on the Florida board that says they are great eatting.
Do any of you guys eat mudfish? LOL, what about Amberjacks?
