Still looks to me like a southern yellow speckled burbit to me, or maybe a landlocked splake-eye.

[url]We all kinda called em a Ling on the South Bay or in the Canal.  I had to get all scientific and research her for you.  Bowfins,  Amia calva which is restricted to fresh water of eastern North America.  Bowfin are also called Mudfish, dogfish, and grinnel.  They are related to gars and bone fish.  They are a predations fish and eat everything.  Theyare also said to be very hearty and can live through most any condition.

he didn't photoshop the image on the bottom... one has a spot because it is a male bowfin.  The other has no spot because it is a female bowfin.  Just go to any reputable, credible source and type in Bowfin.  It will state that.  Some may not because it is common knowledge.  If you go onto Encyclopedia Britannica, one of the most well-known and most credible sources in the world on all topics, it states this information.

 funny you mention that  there is now some scientfic evidance that support  this!  recent studies  by the utt (uneversity of trapper technoligy)has shown that natural cross breeding between some catfish spieces (brown bullhead) and  eels  did in fact occure! recent fossil records also support these findings and a  on going study at tax payers  expense  is now in processes ....  further more these natural hybrid  can in fact reproduce... the correct  term and  spelling is hybreds...they make a off spring that is  very close looking to a  bowfin but in fact it is  a  b u r b i t ....please do not confuse oneself with a  burbot as  this is a different fish also.... in closing i feel i should be given a government grand  to further my studies of fish in gereral thank you for  your support....p.s. please do not attempt tp correct  my grammer  nor spelling as   i am a doctor in fisholigy and  have a phd in bullcrapoligy...

Thanks for making me laugh while reading this thread I hurt like hell from a hernia and every time I laugh it bulges out of my gut BWahahahaha this is awesome. Oh by the way it is no way a Burbot or ling or whatever name you want to call it. I was scuba diving lake erie off cattaruagus creek back in the mid 80's and came across a monster burbot 28 inches long in some rocks my buddy told me I just about ran across the water trying to get out of the lake, LOL but i went back and got the thing in a net and put it in my kids pool till the DEC game warden came and looked at it. It was a 28 inch Burbot,lingcod,eelpout all names for it and the fish in this thread is not a burbot for sure. PEACE  ;D
