anyone get any bullheads yet?

Mrs. Rugburn is the cook, I just get ingredients. Yup the whole carcasses go in the stock pot 1st, lightly boiled. Then she pulls them out and takes the meat off the bones. No meat wasted this way. And I'm sure she checks for straggler bones in the stock. The fish meat is then set aside to add near the end. You don't want the fish turning to mush. Etc...etc. I have never encountered a bone in her chowder.

Cool.
And what I have always loved about bullies compared to other fish is the entire skeleton pulls out easily after cooking without leaving any bones in the meat.
Same thing with cats.

Thanks.

Yup...   Plus it's fast at the cleaning bench.

Clean just like a cusk and eel.

strange evening with the water so cold ,I started fishing  about 5  and was catching some bullheads   then I started getting these crazy looking fish!  I had a heck of a time figuring it out ,I even called Freddie for help .... then I realized I was catching hybrid fish!!!  that's right I got a bunch of them ... this explains why they would bite in this   cold water!

here is a picture of a  brown bullhead



this is a picture of a forked tail spotted lake trout




now here is proof  with pictures of the hybrids I caught




notice the grey color the spots the forked tail and remember the water temps ...a hybrid for sure





I must have gotten right into a big school of these strange fish ...... well don't ask where I got them because I won't tell you easy to see these fish need to be protected !!!! I am the first person to ever report a brown bullhead lake trout hybrid  but pictures don't lie

[trapper2000]

to cold for channel cats!  nope those are clearly cold water "bullackers" with pictures as proof  I'm sure the state biologist will be  calling me for information  on my rare and prized catch ...I must warn you  don't  be trying to trick me into sharing where I caught this strange mutated hybrid of the deep by pretending they are common catfish.... as I have said many times .....we will now see what else is biting ....fish on

Sorry Trap.
My buddies have been already catching channel cats in the Cattaraugus Creek for over a month.

Nice story though.
Thanks for the entertainment.
