Very cool species to catch man! I remember some friends getting into some back home, but I never was able to. I was usually in the bootheel to collect Cottonmouths and ambystomatid salamanders....no fishing. God that was a fun time in life! Muddy and buggy too.
For the public record I'd like to disclose that the best time in my life has been after marrying my wife and through the present -- in case this ever comes up, there it is ;).

--I think mudfish is from the bowfin family, not a snakehead. i am not sure but i think bowfins are protected and should be released. They look a lot like snakeheads, the differentiator is the continual fin on the underside of the snakehead. Bowfins have smaller distinct anal fins.It would be good if someone else can lend some certainty.Charlie
Sent from my iPadI believe thats what most folks here call a snakehead. And yes, people catch, kill and eat them, which counts as closer to me :)

Thanks for welcoming. I hpe to return soon.Last thursday, 3/28/2013, while fishing at a common subdivision pond in Trinity FL, 3/28/2013; on a store bought, olive, Wooly Bugger, using my Orvis 9', 8#, Access, w/ Clearwater large arbor reel, I hooked a mudfish. Now, this beast was as large as your lower leg, knee to big toe, featuring a mouth at least 5" in diameter. It continued to fight hard after I had landed it on the bank. OK, it spit my hook out and rolled back into the pond before a photo op, but I would like to know of anyone re4ading this has gotten closer to a mudfish than I did. It was unbelieveable.Thanks in advance,Scott Russell
