Bullheads are nice when you get them with some size.
I'll catch 'em anytime.

I have two holes ,seperate lakes and both by the dam/spillway and enjoy Bullheads.They're Yellow Bullies.Have you joined the Bhead group Bruce Condello started ?

Thats cool Jeffrey ,you and Jim both deserve credit then!

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on January 28, 2012 at 3:33pm

Thanks John, but it was Mr. Jim Gronaw's idea, I just took the lead after bringing some attention to his Carp Success......I look forward to the fish of 2012 being added....We always get big bites and need a place to display our catch....Here it is if it isn't a bluegill! It should be interesting!
