Can anyone Identify this Fish?

[bytebull]

I caught it in NE Arkansas today in a farm pond. I thought it might be a Bowfin (grinnel) but they are usually darker than this right? It was 25 inches long.

Please help if you can identify the fish pictured below:

Below are a couple of other fish I caught today. I caught a Gar and about 6 Largemouth Bass on a Buzzbait. I released all the fish I caught today.
