You'd have to be Robin Hood to harpoon a Hardhead. I was flounder gigging one time and saw a hardhead before he saw me and i gigged him real quick!

You can also use hard-head for shark-bait Ive heard- Shark bait? cut off the fins and barbs and then drop em in the ocean?

Leave the fins on. Sharks eat stingrays. They ain't skeered of a catfish.

it would be a good way to get rid of the nasty suckers# I have seen people deliberately kill hard heads on purpose. Is this good practice? if we keep throwing them back then they will be the only fish left in the ocean?

hardheads are a PITA but I'm sure just another food source/clean up fish like pinfish and piggy perch

Everything serves a purpose. Hardheads have a reason for being here.
Mosquitoes, on the other hand...............................
