Amia Calva aka Bowfin and Sundfishes
Bowfin fish (Amia calva), freshwater fish of the order Amiiformes (superorder Holostei); it is the only living representative of its family (Amiidae), which dates back to the Jurassic Period (beginning about 180,000,000 years ago). The bowfin is a voracious fish found in sluggish North American waters from the Great Lakes southward to the Gulf of Mexico. From Britannica
I could not get it measured, but the bowfin must be about 3 feet long.
Starting from mid August you find more fish than the bathing people here. I also got help from an alligator by keeping the bathers away, the alligator was 20 feet away on the right.
Other fishes on the picture are largemouth basses and other sunfishes.
