There are certainly members here with bowfins. Closest thing to snakeheads that are legal in US. I dont have any but a quick search pops up loads of results

Edit: bowfin popped up 40 pages of threads. Theres even a specific gars and bowfins section of this forum

i have before they are really interesting fish and not picky about what they eat. but one big difference with the bowfins as to gars the bowfins show more signs of aggression even at smaller sizes than the gars when small
