Subject: RE: Help: Are Mudcat and Bullhead Synonymous?
Bob,

There is a freshwater variety of the bullhead, only gets to 5 or 6 inches long. Bullheads, whether fresh or salt water variety, have those nasty spines behind the head--you might as well cut off the line as try to retreive the hook, because you'll just get stabbed by those spines. The fish is 1/3 head and 100% slime.

I agree about the dogfish, it's a little shark that is as inedible as the bullhead.

I WOULD take issue with the crack about Norma, however. . . I always thought she was a nice lady. (Some of us have longer memories than you might give us credit for!).
