When it runs through 4 poles while spider rigging I think I remember calling it a !!@#$!%&*!

I don’t know if this is true or not but I was told that in times of drought that they can bury up in the mud and survive for quite a while like that. I do know that the species has survived a long long time. I’ve never had one on a hook but I’ve had several on the end of an arrow. A big one will about tear the boat apart

Yep - Bowfin / Dogfish. I don't ever bring them in the boat. I just cut the line and tie on another jig. They are some mean buggers - and yes, I learned the hard way!

After reading the previous posts. I guess it is a bowfin. They look like a snakehead. Eerily similar.

Grinnel or bowfin is what Missouri hillbillies have always called them....Gotta watch getting too close to them when they are laying on the floor of the boat...You will see their eyes rolling around surveying the situation....If you get too close they will often try to move to bite you....Just try poking a oar or net handle at them....They are a good example of a prehistoric fish and good for destroying tackle only.
A snake head is a different species.
