I guess people thought this video was going too show a bowfin fighting a snakehead?This video is about the visual diferences between the two fish so they don't get confused.People often can't tell the deference between a snakehead and a bowfin.
Yes and also as most people don't know the snakehead is a VERY invasive fish (killing out a LOT of the native fish in that body of water) that in most states the dept. of conservation wants you to kill them if caught! I applaud your video showing the difference of the two species, which look similar if you haven't caught them before! 👍
Nice job kicking the turtle. /sarcasm Also, snakeheads do compete with bass, it's just not as bad as people think. They're both predatory and eat the same food.
I'm from the Swamps in South Mississippi and we call the bowfin a grinnell. They are very fun to catch. Awesome fighters! Great video Brother. Stay Safe and GOD Bless!🙏🇺🇸
I'm from Virginia and that's what we also call them first time someone told me bowfin I had no clue what they were talking about bowfin must come from up North
You should take up fishing. Maybe some day you can even touch one with your fingers. JK That looks like a lot of fun. I would have my freezer full year round with snakehead.
Both fish jump but the snakehead it's more of a tailwalk. I haven't been peacock bass fishing maybe I'll try that sometime soon.what a topwater lure like a skitter walk or a zero spook?
Quick question: Do you take the invasives out of the water? I know you have respect for them and I give them kudos for their fight too. But they do damage the ecosystem, correct? Nice fish and good video.
The Republic Lancer They say that snakeheads compete for food with the native fish but I don't believe this. I still catch bass. Snakeheads are only in a couple of canals in Broward. I release all my snakeheads most people just kill them.
+CaptainSolo So . . . snakeheads brought their prey with them? How can they not compete with bass and other native species? They eat whatever they can fit down their throats, just like bass and bowfin.
I Don't live in Broward. But I know Coral Springs area does have snakeheads check any canal in that area just explore and see what you find thats what I do. I'm not sure if coconut creek has snakeheads they might thou.
Both in our amazing fish i'm surprised their not prized as sport fish it would have been amazing fighting extremely aggressive and their native unlike the snake head
People have left comments saying they thought it was going to be a Bowfin fighting a snakehead. I said I made this video to show the visual differences. They also say I handle my fish to rough people are sensitive they hate on all my videos. I don't care my videos are for my viewing pleasure !!
There is always going to be trolls and complainers on everyone's videos doesn't matter what it is! Best thing to do with them is delete troll posts and ignore and or delete major complainers, and if they have a legitimate biotch I have found it best to either explain the reason/s how, why or "ok I will take that into consideration" and just move on it's not worth the stress or worrying about the negatives of bad comment's! 😉✌
LOL Your not the only one to tell me that!! A couple of people said to me that they look ugly and scary.. I think their cool. I get hyped every time I catch one. I need too catch a real big 1. They don't really fight hard the big ones do thou. I think the top water hit is exciting to me because you can see them chase the lure.
FLORIDA is a fishing paradise. I fish on the Suwannee River and also Loxahatchee Everglades west of Boca, in Florida. We tell the tourist the bowfin are "Cypress Trout". They get very excited. I caught a 5 foot gator on my white styrofoam bobber ! He came right for it. He thought it was a marshmallow , cause the kids feed them. Still have whats left of it on the window sill at camp. I took a video but not sure if I should post it , cause the rangers might get upset. The gator was not harmed, but he sure fucked up my bobber !!
Bowfin death roll too! 30 seconds in "Andres Cypress trout" I caught a little snakehead my first on tuesday,ate it and wuz a bit dry but no gamey taste at all. They might be a little easier to hold as well,and I don't think anyone will care if I snag a snakehead haha
Paul it looks like you film your daily life you produce alot videos. Try filming quality not quantity.Also do you live around here? No but my friend does.lol
I wunt to snag some at night if I see them with the spot light plus nobody snags them here in Florida.I can be the first to remove snakehead using snag meathod, nobody catches them at night either I could be the first to do dat. Anything to get a thumbs up :D I got two nice fillets from mine ,even ate the head! Video coming soon! I got a Grand Slam 4 species without snagging All on same top water lure
Put a small one in my fish tank it ate all my other fish! So I cooked it for dinner. Paul you show me your pacu spots. I'll show you my snakehead spots!
bowfin are natural to fl cause i live here i caught one about 20 pounds like 3 1/2 foot long in lake garfield while fishing for bass and btw kill the snakeheads
I also caught a huge one when I was a kid, fishing limb lines in the back water for catfish. Wish I would have had it checked by fish and game. I estimated it to be around 20lbs!
I think you're lying brother! Lol If you really did catch one that heavy and that long it would be a national record for both. Who knows maybe you did tho! LOL
Its not illegal to snag a snakehead since their a invasive species, but why would you want too no gamesmanship in that.Its more fun to catch them on a lure or soft plastic.I don't know if your saying snakeheads are easier to hold because their not thats why most people wack'em over the head with a little bat.In my opinion the snakehead is the best tasting freshwater fish comparable with grouper my only complaint some pieces of the filet may have some bones. Paulpro always promoting his videos.
Millions of years of evolution has taught the Bowfin to Jump! snakehads haven't even learn to Jump yet! Neeewwwb snakehead can't even jump! Bowfin is still #1 in my book. I'll sub back but only if you promise to at least try and catch me a peacock on a surface lure :P You did'nt get the whole fight of the Bowfin so its kinda cheating,it may of done some nice jumps..
Bowfin don't know how to do a death roll like the snakehead. The snakehead has alot of extremely sharp teeth the cut through 40lb braid I never had a bowfin break me off unlike snakeheads who break me off alot. I don't cheat unlike you who snags his fish! Neewwb Until you catch a snakehead your opinion means nothing to me. FYI snagging is illegal unless snagging bait fish such as mullet don't let FWC see you snagging its a expensive ticket neewwb!!!
Why is it the one's who talk shit are the ones who don't know how 2 fish its obvious you never caught a bowfin before their skull is all bone the hook was stuck in there it was the only way I could get it out and don't worry it fell in the grass also we down here consider them junkfish it survived. Also dumbass that was a empty turtle shell stupid ass!!!
Snakeheads do compete with other predators for food...whether it be native species or exotic introduced fish. They don't however, crawl up on the land to feed. So all your dog's and cats are safe ignorant people ,that know nothing other than what they hear or read. Bass and other predators are safe, they are not going to be eaten to extinction. They are just as aggressive as the Snakeheads...just don't have as big of teeth. I wish someone of the other 25+ species of Snakeheads were still legal to keep in a home aquarium. I have always wanted a group of Channa blehri(painted snakehead). They max out in size at 6-8" and are beautiful. Those and a few other species got banned before I could find any for sale. What a shame. Also, if I got tired of keeping them...I have no problem with killing them and disposing of the carcasses,instead of releasing them into the wild.
This dumb hating non fishing douche bag thought I was shaking the bowfin to much I guess he's sensitive he should join peta. Also he said why the f--k was I kicking a turtle for? What a idiot it was a empty turtle shell.

I live in Coconut Creek and there are plenty of snakeheads here. I've caught snakeheads at night using chicken livers and top water frogs.
Nice job kicking the turtle. /sarcasm Also, snakeheads do compete with bass, it's just not as bad as people think. They're both predatory and eat the same food.
Uh it was a empty turtle shell thanks
I agree, empty or not kinda disrespectful...
+Dani Spewak I just got to ask... How the fuck is it disrespectful to kick an empty turtle shell?
+Dani Spewak All he was doing is rolling it over with his feet for the sake of the video to show that it was empty...
@@danispewak3219 People like you make me take Zoloft everyday for rest of my life so I don't kill you.
Thnx for the info.Coconut creek has snakeheads.Chicken liver as bait?
I'm from the Swamps in South Mississippi and we call the bowfin a grinnell. They are very fun to catch. Awesome fighters! Great video Brother. Stay Safe and GOD Bless!🙏🇺🇸
I'm from Virginia and that's what we also call them first time someone told me bowfin I had no clue what they were talking about bowfin must come from up North
Nice Job solo I have never caught a bowfin there I honestly didn't even think there where any there!
Do you know any lakes around coconut creek- Coral Springs areas. With alot of snakehead?
You should take up fishing. Maybe some day you can even touch one with your fingers. JK That looks like a lot of fun. I would have my freezer full year round with snakehead.
Both fish jump but the snakehead it's more of a tailwalk. I haven't been peacock bass fishing maybe I'll try that sometime soon.what a topwater lure like a skitter walk or a zero spook?
What kind of bag is that I like it
Have alot of spots depends what species of fish you want 2 catch.
Twinbee i live in florida broward county area where is this lake?
What were you using as bait?
Quick question: Do you take the invasives out of the water? I know you have respect for them and I give them kudos for their fight too. But they do damage the ecosystem, correct? Nice fish and good video.

The only fish in a snakehead I've seen in their stomach is mayan cichlids another invasive species they like to eat
+CaptainSolo you are a dumbass
I Don't live in Broward. But I know Coral Springs area does have snakeheads check any canal in that area just explore and see what you find thats what I do. I'm not sure if coconut creek has snakeheads they might thou.
Some top notch photography !
can u make the 2 fish fight
I think the snakehead would win lol
CaptainSolo
probably but i still wanna see them fight.
Bowfin would slaughter that weak ass snake head!
Both in our amazing fish i'm surprised their not prized as sport fish it would have been amazing fighting extremely aggressive and their native unlike the snake head

I been chasing tarpon.I'm 0-5 they either broke me off or spit hook.If i don't post a video of a tarpon it means i didn't catch one.
LOL Your not the only one to tell me that!! A couple of people said to me that they look ugly and scary.. I think their cool. I get hyped every time I catch one. I need too catch a real big 1. They don't really fight hard the big ones do thou. I think the top water hit is exciting to me because you can see them chase the lure.
The chicken liver was meant for catfish but I guess snakeheads will eat anything put in front of them.
FLORIDA is a fishing paradise.
I fish on the Suwannee River and also Loxahatchee Everglades west of Boca, in Florida.

bowfin are natural to fl cause i live here i caught one about 20 pounds like 3 1/2 foot long in lake garfield while fishing for bass and btw kill the snakeheads
You should have contacted fish and game. You released a state record and maybe a world record!
I also caught a huge one when I was a kid, fishing limb lines in the back water for catfish. Wish I would have had it checked by fish and game. I estimated it to be around 20lbs!
I think you're lying brother! Lol
If you really did catch one that heavy and that long it would be a national record for both. Who knows maybe you did tho! LOL
I catch black fish(it's what we call em here) all the time in North Carolina me and friends gets 5 lb per fish
+HxC_Fragman Hype no its not the real name for a black fish is bowfin and that ain't a largemouth bass
The bowfin is taking a piss!
hxc no its not a bass and black fish are 2 different things
