This is what we caught from ponds and creeks when I was a kid. We called it a mud cat cause it tasted like mud. What is the proper name for it. Sorry it's not a better photo but I know there are some people on that will know.
No I did not eat this one. smile
Thanks
Mike

Bullhead, yes. We used to catch them in creeks up home when I was a kid too. We would fry them whole. I loved eating the tails. They were like potato chips when you fried them...

That's what I know as a Bullhead for some reason my cousins calls them Pollywogs.

I call them flathead bait, but the technical name is a bullhead, I think thatโ€™s a black bullhead.

bullhead or mudcat. They are not very tasty.
