    RE: Identify this fish caught in Florida?

    [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Jun-24-06 AT 02:10AM (EST)[/font][p]Never seen a bowfin with an eye on its tail.. I mean a fake eye. I have seen them in Kentucky with just a plain grey color but I did not know they were different in Florida.
    BUT it did not have whiskers which the Walking Catfish should have.. but the single fin is a Walking Catfish curiosity like the bowfin.. Not convinced yet but you are in the running. Find me a pic with the Eye on the tail.. fake eye.. and I am on your side.. LOL.

    You are RIGHT.. bowfin.. at least this one is very close.. Not solid black but has the spot on the tail.
