Bowfin "DOGFISH" Fishing Gravel Lake, MI

Fishing in on Gravel Lake in Michigan catching Bowfin known as DOGFISH. These fish are very aggressive and love to munch on small panfish. This is a video of one of the DOGFISH we caught over the weekend. Watch out for the teeth on these prehistoric monsters.

nice catch! i was just fishing in a creek near a river this weekend, and i hooked a little over 2 footer dogfish in the first 20 SECONDS of fishing! Even though its not a good fish to eat or be proud of catching, i was happy to catch my biggest fish ever! :)

KILL THEM they are worthless fish and an invasive speacies i live in michigan and ive seen what they can do to a lake its not good all they eat is fish so it kills entire populations of native fish

@spiderelectra321 Even though they are prehistoric? Bowfin are a needed scavenger fish and are a great way to keep stunted blugill populations down. Musky and Pike will do much more damage to Bass populations that scavenger bowfin.

i know alot of people dont like them but personally i think they're beautiful fish. just the prehistoric look and the teeth and the color. idk i just think they're cool looking.

I caught 2 of those dumb things last summer (7 and 8 lbs), while fishing for pike... They really bug me because they fight so hard I think I have a huge pike on... Just wondering, can you eat them? I heard that their bone structure was kind of funny but not sure. Thanks.

@spiderelectra321 they are native fish. they do not destroy populations of other species because they are just as much a part of the ecosystem.

I saw the bluegill floating at 1:23 or something. Nice dogfish!

Im tired of idiot yankess claiming bowfin will ruin a bass population. The biggest threat to bass is BASS the parent bass eat 80% of their babies. A hungry bass would also eat a small bass thats why they have bass swimbaits

Respond to this video... nice fish!!! never heard them called a dogfish before. I live near the ocean though and we call sand sharks dogfish.

I catch these different.. i just wait in a cove and I think they actually get curious about the boat and i find them always surfacing and looking at it then i just put chunks of bluegill by there faces and they take it. btw it may be because of where i fish but these all seem small to me. where i catch them there 12 pounds plus. that one to me looked 5-6 pounds at the most.
