My husband has caught a 25 lb. Red fish. The biggest crappie he ever caught was 4lbs. 12 oz. That is big for a crappie. We did not get to fish any this year. It was either too windy or rainy!!! Maybe this Fall. We do not hot weather fish!
I need advice. LadyRev caught a bowfin the other night but we aren't sure what to do with it. She filleted it and put it in the freezer, but the meat is mushy and it has a strong fishy smell. Is that normal? Are they good to eat? Here's a pic of it.

Ok. This is weird. There are locals here who have never heard of bowfins. LR and I went fishing and just returned. She caught 6 bluegill/sunnys, and I caught a bass, a bluegill, and...a bowfin!! LR has been fishing here for many years, minus the time she was in Memphis, but has never caught, seen, nor heard of these fish until she caught her's. Mine wasn't quite as big as her's, but about 18 inches long. I took the hook out of his mouth and let him go, since we don't know if they are edible or not.
Hasn't anyone else heard of these fish? I'm not learning much online about them either.
