Haven't posted pix of this guy in a while, he's always hiding in the rocks, these are the only decent ones I was able to get.

Caught from a pond at 1" over the summer, now he's about 4 1/2" Don't mind my spotted rapael lodged in the corner :screwy:

i had 3 bullheads in my 135 tank. got em dip netting a ditch for chubs. at night or when the light was low they cruised the tank for food. otherwise they pretty much just did zero during the day.

At the lake I caught him, I've noticed that they school in groups even during the day. Going to try and catch a group of about 8 or 9 for my 600g pond this summer and see if this increases thier activity level...gonna be interesting since it's a swimming lake and I have to catch them underwater.:D

right on bro good luck!! diving around big cats is cool, theyre not too shy. i grabbed a 10 lb cats tail spearfishing beofre, it darted away tho after. grab a butterfly net, sounds kinda lame but it works for getting gobies which hold to the bottom also.

Nice bullhead, I want to catch some this summer.

They pop up in the most unlikely places! If you're ever in Northeast PA I'll point you in the direction of a couple ponds that are loaded with them. :D
