Caught one that was around 10lbs in Florida I thought I had hooked the world record until I saw him... I was disappointed. But still a very fun fight. +1 Hooked up to about an 8 lber a few years back and as soon as I hooked up I yelled for the net. Thought I had a world record also, haha. Great fighters.

I look forward to catching a bowfin, never have any luck. Stupid green trash fish get in the way.... lol The "blue" fish was probably a drum. 2 species I've been targetting and can't seem to catch this year. Guess I should try fishing for bass. Nice surprise even if it didn't weigh.
PB's: Common: 30lbs Mirror: 14lbs Buffalo: 56lbs White Amur:49lbs Blue Cat: 32lbs Yellow Cat: 34lbs

Definitely not a snakehead lol. Bowfin are a native Texas species.
