I wouldn't have said anything if i didn't first read on it heavily. A "freshwater dogfish" is a bowfin. Its just a slang term. Every search agreed ...more with me too. Also found the phrase "is a dogfish a bowfin" is a pretty popular search lol. When clicking those sites too all said yes it is a bowfin. Need a count of anal rays to rule out a burbot but the colors don't look like lota lota. But an Atlantic spiney dogfish is most definitely a saltwater shark my friend lol. I love fish identification! Big or small, gotta catch um all. 🎣
Yes I also caught one right at the mouth where the Trenton river meets the Bay of Quinte, caught it on half dead minnow about an hour after dark. First one I ever ...more seen in the flesh.
Love fishing.usually try to fish when not working.My fishing buddy Scott usually comes with me.if it's not me in some pics it will be him. New ...more to this site and trying to figure it all out..
