they may be another type of catfish, but they not channel or blue cats. the area i fish is mainly what we call yellow belly bull heads and blue gill/ green sunfish. my photo album on big blue gill has a pic or two of one i think. i will try to snap some more when i catch another. on average most are under 3 pounds but ive got a couple im pretty certain were in the ten pound range. i get a few channel cats but they are not really native where im fishing they are stocked about once every ten years.

Mark .I believe what you are catching is not a Bullhead but some other type of Catfish !Got pics? Here are some world record Bullies:  Brown Bullhead: current IGFA world's record of 7 lb 6oz,Yellow Bullhead :6.6 or 4.4 http://www.fieldandstream.com/pages/world-record-bullhead-missouri-... Black Bullhead 7.7

The yellow Bullheads and Brown Bullheads I've caught were never bigger than 2 lbs. I am really curious what you are catching and maybe in your area you call them Bullheads and in my area we make a different distinction .At any rate the best of luck fishing and I hope to see some pics of your fine fish you are catching ,whatever they are !

I am sure they will be.  The water quality is very good out there and should continue with all the work that was put into the lake.

Wife and I got into some Nice bullheads at Wanahoo Lake.  They were averaging about 1 and 3/4lbs.  They are waiting to go in the smoke as we speak.

That looks like a fatty, for sure!
My only experience with bullheads before moving to South Carolina, was from many years ago in MN, too. Back then, I was catching dark skinned little "squealers" that were not really much of an angling challenge. They were climbing over each other, it seemed, and you hardly got your line settled before they hooked up. None of them looked anything as big as that.
Since coming South, I have caught one South Carolina bullhead, a large black with mottled coloration reminiscent of the military's new digital camo. I was brim fishing and was occupied with some trivial task at shore side. When I looked up, my float was gone and the line was headed to the other end of the pond. When I set the hook, I knew it was something… and it wasn’t a bluegill!
I finally beached the thing and knew right off that it wasn’t a catfish, because of the black fins, barbells and squared-off tail. Just EXACTLY what it WAS, however, was beyond my crude field identification skills. I knew there are just four species of catfish here – and this wasn’t one of those. Those are sleek, shiny specimens out of the water while mine was blocky with that wild “urban chic” coloration. It was only after digging for information that I found out it was a black bullhead.
I have seen only one other bullhead from around here and it was also a large black. My guess is that was even larger than the one I caught. I have not caught another bullhead since, which saddens me. I mean if they are gonna get that big around here, I’d like to catch more! I got a couple of pics of each at the time, but now I cannot find them. SO this just turns out to be a hopefully interesting story.
Heck of a nice bullhead, Bullworm!
