Northern Pike. They fight pretty well!
For the Pike I was throwing Rat'L Traps in both natural color and a chrome finish. I also threw a Red Devil spoon and caught a short Northern. All were on a medium-fast action as soon as it hit the water. Usually I would slow the lure for a split second, then speed it back up and that was when they would hit. I hear they taste very good, my buddy caught a 36" Pike in the spring that weighed in at 9lbs he said it was great.
For the Bowfin, I used the Gary Yamasenko white 5" worms. I have nothing but great luck with those for Large Mouth (down here in Jersey / PA), and when I caught the Bowfin we were breaking them in half and throwing them "Texas Rigged".
