can someone tell me where the thread or pics are of the fish that can crawl on land and eats everything that was found in arkansas. i think i caught one the other day on an oxbow off the mississippi river but need to see a pic and cant seem to find them. Thanks

they have different color schemes just focus on overall shape, i read up on them and they can survive out of water like you said

Could be a bowfin or grinnel as I grew up calling them

Fish of Missouri

Sounds like a native fish called a Bowfin or Grinnel. They are real similar.

If it was a bowfin it will stretch your string.

Also don't put your finger in their mouth.
