>>2020330That’s a bowfin, right? Thought it was a snakehead but it was missing the spots. Lots of those in the canals near me and they might fight harder. I think I got a bowfin once in IL when I was a kid.
But yeah there’s a shit ton of freshwater to fish, the canals aren’t always the best, at least the parts that are easy to access, because those are fished by lots of people and there’s not a ton of structure so it’s tricky to find good spots.
Pic related came out of a little canal like that behind some moving company’s warehouse.
