I arrived at the GOMH at about ten to 8PM and fished to 9:45PM. There was just one guy fishing to the East of "the juice" when I got there. I went and fished on the South side of the bridge and got this jumpin bullhead on the Grass Pig Jr.
As I was taking the fish off, the other guy showed up to show me what he had caught. He didn't know what it was. I informed him it was a "Dogfish" or more properly a Bowfin. Unfortunately he had killed it. He also got it on a nightcrawler so it would not have been eligible for the Bowfin Championship twice over.
We put it along my measuring board and we figured it went about 27 inches. I gave the guy my golden bullhead. We both went back to fishing. I was throwing a Stanley Phantom on the SE side when a Grampa and his grandson's showed up. I was lucky they didn't set up on "the juice" which I quickly took. I got 6 jumpers on the Phantom and one on Huckleberry on "the juice". I come to find out the guy I gave the golden to was from Maine originally. He was fishing for sunfish. He also took a couple of jumpin bullheads I gave him.
Here is a pic I took when my camera was acting up of a 15.75" jumpin bullhead.
The camera appears to be working normally now. I left at a 9:45PM because the Grampa wasn't moving from the bridge.
