Tom, your presentation here takes me back to the 40's and 50's, (yes, I'm an old geezer), fishing with my Grandfather. We always came home with a bucket of bullheads and catfish and Grandma would make sure I was invited over for dinner when they were prepared, usually the next day 'cause we got home late. Grandma fixed them as you did, however it was lard back then, rendered pork fat. lol! ,Those little crunchies melted in my mouth. No one, and in mean NO ONE cooked like Grandma. Incidently, Grandpa didn't have a tooth in his mouth so those fish with boiled spuds and either carrots or green beans were his delight. Thanks for sharing and bringing back some old memories.
Kenny, I enjoyed that story very much. Thank you for sharing it.
Stealing worms from fish?.. 😂
Like stealing candy from kids💀
Probably one of my favorite fish to catch, clean and eat.
When I was young first married that was one of my favorite fish my family eat. And you cook them the same way I did. Flour and corn meal, I used just salt and pepper all in the bag to mix and into the fry pan. Thanks for the memories. Tight Line
my favriot fish to eat that size is so tender i live up state ny by the st lawerence river and 5 more weeks illbe after them nice vid
I still fillet even that small
Good video ❤ lots of people would call trash fish but it's not
NICE! HAVE YOU EVER SMOKED CATFISH WITH SKIN ON? THEN PEEL SKIN OFF AND PULL MEAT OFF BONE THEN SEASON. THANKS FOR YOUR WORK/ VIDEOS.
That is something I haven't tried. Thanks Wesley.
Good video Tom! You’re making me hungry. I like to use Tony Chachere’s creole. I imagine it’s not too different. As of yesterday, still no carp biting. I’m going to get out in between storm systems today.
Good luck, pop up thunderstorms have been my biggest fishing nemesis as of late.
Try Lard next time. You won't go back to oil. Also we use bullhead as bait for flathead.
I always watch these fishing catch and cooks, knowing damn well I'm allergic to fish, but i do love your channel. Keep the videos coming.
Dang, sorry to hear that. Glad you enjoy the videos, thanks!
I just caught my first bullhead tonite. Almost identicle to your first catch. Do you just worm the hook and toss? Just let it sit on the bottom without a bobber?
Nice job what do those bull heads taste like I have never tried them
Catfish.
Make sure to use peanut oil
Newish sub, thanks for the content. This video reminded me of the bullheads of my youth, from small lakes about 6000 ft elev. in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Good eating.
Nice, welcome aboard Steven.
I have the best success fishing for bullhead when i catch a small prussian carp and i cut off its tail and put it on a hook,i catch some huge bullheads with that
People up here in Minnesota are so snobby with what they keep. Never eat any bass. Never eat pike. Never eat bullhead. Never eat Karp or Buffalo. Never eat bowfin, call em dogfish.
If it ain't trout, panfish, or walleye. Folks generally ain't interested. Could probably get em to eat a fresh channel or flathead. But they wouldn't be happy about it.
All of them are tasty too. Sucks because people will kill some of them just because want something better. Catfish in particular is amazing
Hot dogs are the best for bull heads I've caught 4 pound bull heads on em
Great Flathead bait too. They are some feisty little fish
Cooking part at the end of the video looked REALLY GOOD! I'm hungry for some Catfish now! Did you shuck those Bullheads? Just curious.🙂👍
I just clean them like a catfish.
Uset to use a wormball for them.
They are just like a catfish with their spines
Not sure if we have bull-heads out here , I have only caught channel cats. They look like fun to catch, like blue gill lots of actions. Good video and enjoy the cooking part also. Thanks. Off topic but caught my biggest carp of the year last week 13 lbs.
Nice, congrats!
Nice! The only thing I don't care for about bullheads, is the cleaning. Pulling that skin off gets tedious but, worth it.
A good pair of skinning pliers helps make it go pretty quick.
If you have trouble with bullheads swallowing the hook, tie on a jig and bait it. For some reason they don't try to swallow the jig.
It's not really a problem if they do swallow the hook anyway
I really like bullheads for eating! Wish I could find a nice honey hole like that to catch a quick mess of them!
Thanks for another great video Tom!
They can be pretty tasty, thanks Art.
try a local residential pond, usually those little retention ponds are full of them
@@midwestemo_fishing good tip. Might even be big ones since they probably dominate the little pond.
The best for catfishing is cut hotdogs
Where's your dirt for the worms
Size 4/0 is a hog ass hook for bullheads, but can't argue with results.
It's size 4, not 4/0.
@@OutsidewithTom Oh lmao that makes more sense 😂
Ive been looking forward to this video since you did the last one. I've been looking to get into a mess of small catfish. The old fisherman has a video where he shows how to clean small cat fish, that makes it look a little easier than how my dad showed me . Thanks for sharing !
I just clean them like a small channel cat, works good for me.
We got bullheads in the ponds and lakes here in New England (here we call them horned pouts). My dad caught one once, about 8 inches long
Ameiurus Melas
at my friends boat marina ..off the dock..big rideau lake ontario canada..he had old a little past human consumption cooked hotdogs..I sliced them up and threw them one by one..and I saw like about 7-10 catfish gathering and all staring up at me with big gaping mouths ..all frantic and pushin each other outta the way ..man they were gulping them down and lookin at me all crazed..I was laughing..I fed them the whole container!!
So do they school?
Like and miss them. Hopefully 🤞 soon I can get into some.
yes
Nice footage tom! Those bull heads looked scrumptious.
They were pretty good!
Carp bite is back on! Lakes up here have dropped 3 to 4 feet due to no rain. I figured the fish would drop back closer to the drop off. Had to wade out to cast to reach them. And that was the ticket.
Yo no disrespect but there is a creel limit of 10
Nope, no limit in Iowa.
@@OutsidewithTom oh really okay man I apologize
Hi Tom,
Have you tried fishing for bullheads with leeches?
It is a good bait for bullheads here in Serbia.
And also you can catch the bigger ones with a peace of small fish.
By the way, excellent videos!
Make more with bullheads! 😂💪
Glad you enjoyed the videos, share it with friends if you like.
I now use pliers. First time i cought one, it spiked me in thumb. Hurt like MF😬
Pliers on mouth, and you done. Second, they got very slipery body, so pliers help with that too.
Ouch!
Good video Tom. You Iowans are the master bullhead fisherman! Do you do the nail through the head method to clean them?
Never heard of that. I just use a knife and skinning pliers, takes about 30 seconds per fish.
I got a massive bullhead today
Sometime your need to show us how you cleaned and cut the fish. I can imagine but would like to know for sure.
Maybe I'll do that sometime.
Killer video tom!
Wowww❤
hi tom what state or prov you in? and have you ever tried this place at night as they are more active? i have this cat hole i usually go to at night in the summer and used to catch big yellow bulls im talkin around 10-12" and in the past few years i caught nothing till this summer but they are more like your catch size or the biggest fish you got there in fact i'm heading out tonight or possibly tomorrow night and i think because it gives the excuse to use my diy lighted floaters lol ppl keep asking me where i got them from and love hearing "i made it myself", i got a fast old school way to clean em like yours requiring a dorsal cut then a pull of the head back while holding the broken vertebrate but i much prefer them fillet no matter the size its even easier and cooks better in the shallow or deep frying oil for my taste just cooks thoroughly through
I'm in Iowa.
ok, figured maybe after my long comment you would have more than just that to add and interact a bit more but ok lol thx @@OutsidewithTom
Sorry I didn't live up to your expectations.
yeah too bad @@OutsidewithTom
Maybe you'll get a better response next time if you type a coherent paragraph instead of one big long rambling sentence. But, maybe my own expectations are unrealistic too.
Thanks
😊❤
Have u try 🧀 for bullheads
I haven't, but I'm sure it would work. Thanks.
@@OutsidewithTom no problem
Very nice catch my friend love the vids buddy and all the tips 👍 😊
