Northern pike

here is a pic of a bowfin I caught a few years ago from Lake Champlain. they can grow to 3' long up there and will hit bass lures regularly. this one sucked in a jig skipped under a dock. I thought i had a 10lb bass for about 10 seconds. It weighed 9 lbs

Oh and there are very catchable numbers of pike in wequaquet. If you go straight out and slightly left from the ramp 200 yards, just about infront of the 2nd cove on the left and before the major point, there are several humps out there. The pike are all over them in the summer and fall. The love spinnerbaits, slug gos, jerkbaits and crankbaits, anything with an erratic movement

nice bowfin. i might go to wequaquet on sunday in my kayak. i didnt get to fish there on monday like i planed.
hopefuly i can get my first Massachusetts smallmouth, ive caught them in New Hapshire. havent fished for them yet in MA. hopefuly i can get my first pike

Lake Onota

the bowfin in onota are getting to be very rare. everybodys catching and killing them on sight. it sucks

Bowfin are not snakehead, why are people killing them?

they're considered a 'threat' to the aquatic life appearently. personally i love the fish i think they are cool
