Ahhhhhh, bowfin. We call them mudfish in FL. Many a time, I've caught them fishing for bass. Fight like a MFer and destroy baits. Biggest I've caught is about 10lbs and it absolutely destroy a brand new live target hollow frog. Thought I had a double digit bass at first. Nasty fish that should be eradicated like pit bulls.
We call 'em mudfish too. Choupique is the Cajun term for them. Fun to catch but I hate touching those evil-looking bastards. Looks like an eel.

I know guys that have mistakenly lipped them like a bass. Most wont do that again.

yes. but, you can't freeze it. it must be eatin fresh
You can freeze it if you plan to fry it.
Batter them up and place them on a sheet of wax paper in a baking pan and freeze them. Once frozen, put them in a zip lock bag like chicken nuggets. Fry them just like chicken nuggets. That's the only way it will keep.

What would be the chances you have live choupique at the same time?

Primal fascinates me.
And choupiques are definitely primal.
I think they are the only remaining members of their family tree and they have been doing their thing for a gazillion years.

Honest question, has anyone without a 5 gallon bucket and cane pole ever eaten one? I used to fish Pier 90 a lot as a kid. When we caught them we just gave them to the cane pole fishers. They had buckets full of them, but I’ve never eaten them.

My old Nonc from Vacherie makes Choupique patties with them. They really good.

Spinnerbait or a buzz bait in shallow water really pisses them off. I catch a bunch in shallow water on a texas rig with a light weight and a brush hog

I like choupique better than gar honestly. Choupique are a pain to clean because you have to do it all in one day or it turns to complete mush. Best is catch them make the patties and cook the gravy all in the same day or vacuum seal the patties once you make them to hold them together.

It's family. Phylum is up the taxonomic ladder from family.
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species
Edit: just looked it up, they are the last extant species all the way up to Order.
