Great looking fish. I have wanted to keep them for some time now but have yet to do so. What size tank is that?

You won't find any young from this year yet in NY. They spawn a little later, it's mid to late May here in Ohio and I suspect could be early June in NY (I have found young on fishing trips in Southern Ontario in mid June). Last years fish could be in the 6-10" range right now, is that what you were thinking?

I have never seen bowfin of that size in the wild, I only ever seem to find big adults or very small young. Young of year are typically fish that have hatched in the same year but I guess the term could refer to fish that are anything less than a year old.
