IMG00406.jpg Caught this 6lb Bowfin last week and to my suprise after getting it in the boat the sucker only had 1 eye. I dont mean like it lost an eye and the skin grew over, i mean like it never had an eye there. Crazy! Id say thats a once in a lifetime kinda thing and I though I'd share.

Nukes cause MORE eyes. I know this to be true because I saw it on the Simpsons.

Skargo beat me to it. I have waaaaaaaaay too many Simpsons scenarios in my head. Those Grinnells are skeery enough as it is. Can't imagine seeing one with only one eye emerging from the depths.:eek:

Around here we've always referred to them affectionately as cypress trout.

Re: One eyed fish!!!

Reading the post I was thinking the Nuke thing too. I live 1/2 mile from one and see some strange frogs sometimes. There are lots of parts on me shrinking I hope I don't lose them all together.
