Spending the Night in a Swamp to Catch an Ancient Fish

In this adventure, I travel deep into a remote Virginia cypress swamp in search of one of the world’s oldest living freshwater predators. An ancient fish known as the Bowfin (_Amia calva_). It has inhabited our planet for at least 150 million years.
