The winner of the 2008 roughfisher.com Beast of the Year contest is Pete from Fishing Jones. This bowfin, Amia calva, was caught in Florida, truly kicking it old school: dinosaur style. These little doggies have some wicked sharp teeth, a ferocious appetite, and are able to breathe air. A living fossil. Nasty!
Congratulations Pete!

ReplyDeleteI smell a fix (or is that fish).
Come on man, I'm a Floridian at heart, MG. I was actually fishing for snakeheads when that fish hit. And I lost the Reel Pure hat in a bar later.
ReplyDeleteSince you hit the bar immediately after the outing, I'm not going to call Price Waterhouse and demand an audit of the voting.
ReplyDeleteNOTE: If you caught that mud on anything less that 12lb, it could be a state record. It is a pig, and my accusation was founded in one part jealousy, and one part that I really want one of those fricken hats!
