Dogfish Fishing (pics)
 

I don't know the background on these Dogfish. I don't know where they are from or where their range is. I don't know if they are popular to fish, but I LOVE IT. They are great fighters and they are all over in the private lake I live on. They fight so hard and are just a whole different game.

These are average fish about 26-28". There is a big one in there about 30". Pretty fat fish.

[/align] One tough fish, many strange names. The bowfin has been around 150,000,000 years. Dinosaurs? He watched 'em disappear. Sabre-tooth Tiger? Yep, she saw 'em come and go. B@$$? A 12-million-year old rookie! Perfectly adapted to his niche, the bowfin is a survivor from the late Jurassic period of the Mesozoic Era.

If you will eat a Carp, Sucker, Burbot. You can eat a dogfish, I personally wont.

I only caught 1 and it was by accident. I went down to Florida a few years ago bass/crappie fishing, and was throwing out a spinner bait. All of a sudden I got a big bite and the fight was on. I thought I had one of those big Florida bass I had heard of, only to be disappointed. Still fun though.

they are a fun fish to catch they will put up 1 heck of a fight. most people hate them though because they eat walleye eggs. not alot of people will eat them because they are supposed to taste bad and also i guess they really stink when they are cooked. i have heard that bears wont even eat them. i have never personally eaten one and likely never will.

I've never eaten carp. I enjoy canned sucker and I love Burbot. Burbot is actually one of my favorite fish to eat but there isa small trick to cleaning them. When cleaning you shouldn't open the belly....... cube up the meat and boil it in salt water, then fry for a few seconds in a *hot* cast iron w/bacon fat...... dip in garlic butter and its very similar to lobster. yum
