Yeppers that's a little cat, they are smelly and slimy but put up a good fish. I've heard they taste pretty good too.

I bullhead is a cousin to a catfish,these critters only get to be a pound and are boney as hell!
I throw hundreds of them away a year-not worth my time at all.......

[michihunter]

Yep!! You are exactly right Foss. They ain't no catfish for sure. Eatin type cat anyway.Caught my share of bullhead growing up and Dad would almost always put a bootheel to them.

Good website you posted there Ted. I have a neighbor that goes out to catch bullhead for plant food, Now that's one fish I don't mind people using for plant food, They're really not worth anything else.

Sheephead I've caught those too in Detroit River & Lake Erie. That's another TRASH fish. I do know that some people actually eat them EEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

I think bullheads are good, I've eaten them all my life.When they gey 12 " or better they have alot of meat on them. Kind of like a flathead.But then I also ate the drums sticks from a roadrunner too.

Here's the winning sheepshead entry at our Walleye Tourney last week. Went 9# 4 oz!!

there isn't any difference between a sheepshead( white drum ) and a red drum,aka redfish as table fare.
