That would definitely be a bowfin AKA dogfish. Awesome fight and usually a very aggressive fish and alot of fun to catch

Yep Bowfin. Caught one off the pier last week. They is UGLEEEEEEEEEE but they are kind of fun to catch, good fight. Saw 3 others caught this year earlier in June. The one had glow in the dark neon green fins. Apparently that happens when they're spawning is what I was told.
