What kind of fish is this?
Caught this on a plastic worm in a northeast Florida pond.

I somehow manage to catch them on 4lb line with tiny beetle spins.

Bowfin, I had the all tackle record for a while. Not many folks eat them, but they are fun to catch.

I just started bass fishing, well other than when I was like 12yrs old. Caught that thing as by catch.

Some guides refer to them as "Cypress Bass".

Around here, that's what they're called as well. Except for maybe the fight, about as useless as a gar or a jack (chain pickerel). They are very aggressive and don't give up when attacking a bait or lure.
And just in case you were thinking about it,
NO!! , they aren't worth a SHIT to eat and I don't care what you do to them.

When I was a kid, my parents would cook anything I brought home from fishing. I brought a bowfin home once, which, of course, they cooked for supper. It was like fishy mashed potatoes with needles in it. Nasty.

I caught a Snake head down here in Broward and sent a picture to a buddy of mine. He immediately called me and told me not to release it because they are invasive.

Don't put your thumb in his mouth that's for sure. Mean SOB's with razor teeth.
