Ham Posted October 10, 2022 Posted October 10, 2022 Guy goes from wanting to catch ONE Bowfin to trying to get to 50 Bowfin on fly in one year. Jeez. Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish

I've become a spoiled brat, haven't I? Always wanted to catch one, wasn't sure it was ever going to happen, since I didn't fish where they live. You put me on my first one, @Ham. You get a HUGE "Thank you!" from me. I had a day when I caught 8, but lost 19 bowfin. And then coming off a 15-bowfin (landed) day that took me from 29 to 44, I thought 6 more would be very possible. I had enough strikes, but lost too many fish to seal the deal. It is also very possible I burned all the spots out. 45 in 8 trips...its been a very good 6 weeks. My next goal will be to get to 100 bowfin on fly, lifetime. Ham and Johnsfolly 2

I wish I had been able to help you get a Giant one, but you took care of that in Spades. It been amazing and I’m Super excited for you. I thought there was no doubt that you’d get 6 on Sunday, buts that’s fishing. you’ll get to 100 next year FishnDave and Johnsfolly 2 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future.

FishnDave Posted October 17, 2022 Author Posted October 17, 2022 Spent some time yesterday pursuing more "typical" warmwater species. Caught Largemouth Bass, Bluegill, Hybrid Sunfish, Redear Sunfish, Green Sunfish, Black Crappie, and Golden Shiners. Well...Golden Shiners aren't exactly "typical"...but were caught. BIG ones! netboy, Daryk Campbell Sr and Johnsfolly 3
