It is indeed a Bowfin, Amia calva.
It is NOT a snakehead. Please go back and tell the folks in that forum that it isn't a snakehead, but a Bowfin.
You got a Bowfin at Walmart? Amazing. It MUST have come in as a contaminant hitchhiker; I can't see them being able to GET them on purpose, let alone sell them on purpose. There is no trade or market for them, or much use, for that matter. We NANFA type people like them, but hardly anyone else does.
