20141001-PERSONAL BEST CHANNEL CAT - caught on a dropshot rig with Carl's Rascal tipped with a gulp maggot

ON A RASCAL !!ALRIGHT !

the belly on this thing was filled with what felt like sunfish

.CAUGHT DRAGGING A CRAWLER HARNESS ON A DEEP BREAK IN 20 FOW

Fine Yellow Bhead!

thanks... up to this point i had never seen one this size... put it in the live well till i lokked up the C&R Master Angler length minimum... it was 14... so this one lunker not trophy... would anyone ever mount one of these ya think?

Yellow Bullhead using Hot Dog Chunks .

Brown Bully hit a crankbait trolled near a ledge .

Most of my Bullheads are caught at night but a few come during the daytime.

Nice fish ya got there Ken !

thanks and you too... i wish i could say i was targeting him but he was caught by accident.. i wanted to go back at night and target them intentionally. i remember how fun it was as a kid.... bobbers and globs of nightcrawlers. the lake i lived on during the summers had a fish survey done and bullhead was the number 1 predator in the lake. the lake association held fishing contests throughout the year to fish for carp, small gills and bullheads to bring down their numbers. i remember them tasting pretty good at dinner. a fish that brings back some fond memories for me.

I never used bobbers for bullys .A split shot 8" up from the hook and blocking a 16th oz sliding sinker .I catch them by overflow dams.
