Bowfin. Amia calva. The original.
Before bass. Before trout. Before just about everything that gets printed on a shirt, there was the bowfin. Ancient, air-breathing, stubbornly still here. A fish that survived ice ages, mass extinctions, and generations of people insisting it was a trash fish.
This 3rdGoat bowfin honors the species that never needed a rebrand. Thick-bodied, snake-headed, dorsal fin like a saw blade, and that unmistakable eyespot daring predators to try it.
Not flashy. Not fashionable. Just durable, effective, and misunderstood.
Like the bowfin itself, this one is for people who know.
Breathable, fast-drying polyester moves with you during casts and hikes, while the athletic cut keeps the silhouette streamlined under a vest or windbreaker. Wear it layered on cool mornings, under a rain shell during late-season outings, or as your go-to shirt for swapping stories and cleaning gear at sunset. It speaks the language of anglers who value function, nostalgia, and a design that doesn’t shout—just belongs to the rhythm of the river.
