Yes I cant wait to have another. I hope in the spring to bag a big female. I had caught a 10 pounder but had no way to take it home and nowhere to keep it at home.
Next time I'll be prepared! Love your fish btw

Thanks. 10 pounders sounds like a monster! Can you confirm if my fish is male or female?
I'd wait until its larger but males develop bluish green pectoral fins and along their bottom sometimes. The halo on the tail spot disappears if I recall right. Females will be bigger, but slower growing. They develop no colors and retain the tail spots halo.
I would guess that is a female. Still young though, so not 100 percent.
If you ever want to get rid of it, let me know. Hehe
I suspect in the spring I'll have several big bowfin so I may need to keep my eye out for a much bigger tank. I want several big WC females that are 2 foot or more

Its growth rate makes me think male. I had two bowfin and they ate the same. One tripled the other in growth. That one was a male.
