Just Some Fish

This little perch has a hard time I guess hanging around these other two. I can say for sure, he's a lot safer now.

That’s a really nice Jack fish looks like.

Couple less worries!

Big ol jack. Those things are some mighty fine eating.

Good fishing right thar. We use to catch a lot of the jacks in South Georgia swamps during the dry periods of summer by what the the old folks called mudding.

Cool. I have never caught a bowfin, always wanted to.

1 would be enough. They are one of the hardest fighting freshwater fish though. A 5lb mud fish is a fight

You're right about that, pardner,...mudfish is STRONG.
I caught one of those bums on my "genuine 4 pound test line, zebco 44, JC Higgins rod, brim fishing rig" and I thought I never would get rid of him.
On and on and on went the struggle...he looked like he was about 3 feet long, swimming around out there. Followed him with the electric motor and he just kept on pulling and making the drag "bzzzzzzzz".
I finally said "enough of this" and broke off the line.
