It's a BOYfin!

Type: Chesapeake
Region: Northern
Location: Elk River

Actually, it�s a 14 inch bowfin caught by Reginald Powers near Sandy Cove Marina on the Elk River. He caught it on a night crawler. Bowfin is not too common and is a natural part of our ecosystem. It looks a lot like a northern snakehead. To see how they differ, check out our video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBflLIbFUBM
