The first fish I ever caught was a bullhead, also known as a catfish around these parts. It came out of the swampiest, most weed filled section of the pond, kinda like Jaws....all was quiet and calm and then this GIANT mouth emerged out of the water...ugliest damn thing (ok, ALMOST the ugliest) I've ever seen! I don't know what the difference is between a Mudcat and a regular old catfish (maybe I should read the entire thread and I might find out if I really cared...) but WOOOO baby, they are FUN to catch!!!!

**Couldn't bring myself to cook it, although I did bring it home in a bucket to (proudly) show my husband...makes great fertilizer for the garden though!
