![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2022/04/full-4136-136462-catfish.jpg) 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.  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 thatโs a black bullhead.
