Caught 8 channels from 10p-1a. Took my little brother and his GF, for her first time and she caught the biggest by far. Chicken livers. No bullheads at all last night. Trying to post pics...

aww man, now its time for me to go find a beer (non alcoholic) and start crying in it. you guys had a good night. I literally can't even buy a single bite from cats.
also, i been meaning to ask this, what do bullheads do to ruin the night? do they eat your bait without getting hooked.

good job on the cats, looks like it was a very good night.

Bullheads almost always swallow the bait. No one fishes for them. They are caught mainly by folks fishing for channel cats. They will eat ANYTHING.. It's a big nuisance because you usually need to retie and rebait. (it takes time away from what you are really there for)........

Heck, please swallow the bait, just not the hook. LOL. It beats catching nothing, but I don't target bullheads specifically. For whatever reason though, they bite harder then any other catfish I've caught. Have men screaming in the woods at night. LMAO

Sorry .... I meant to say "swallow the (the hook and bait)"!!!

no one, except me. i actually targeted bullheads one time. i think long or big hooks (amberdeen, large tremble hooks) will cut down on them swallowing it.

rotflmaod!!!

Haven't used treble hooks catfishing, but them dirty little mudskippers will swallow anything I tie to my line. Could be the answer...
And for the screaming in the woods part, all my friends new to catfishing get to learn the hard way. "Stick your thumb in there, look how little it is, it won't harm ya"... Every time! LOL

I think they have a unique set of jaws. I often try not to get my fingers anywhere near the mouth. I think its comparable to a bowfin in a way.
