Used to roast bullheads over fire and eat them. Poke a stick in mouth and roast till skins peel off and eat like corn on the Cob.
Probably make good oil.

limb or jug line those big blue cats. you know. the ones that are to big to make good table fare. the ones in fisherman magazine mounted the no science ban on commercial fishing for.
Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

most of ours come from cattle ponds! only time they are fit to eat is the spring time after that their name comes into affect mudcats that has to be a southern thing, but I think the bullheads there are a lot bigger than ours here a 3 lber is big, and typically they are half pound, and have the sharpest fins of any fish hands down. They have more names than carter has pills Down here, A legitimate 3 lb bullhead would be worthy of a framed picture on the wall imo I don't think any catfish out of a pond that dries up would be good to eat. Bullheads survive dry ponds due to estivation. Most other catfish survive dry ponds due to....well, actually they don't usually survive. Sharp spines, yes, but don't forget about their bite. They bite hard enough to make you remember the lesson of not doing it. Been there already... .

It's all good....it's not like it's a poppin' thread anyway. Very quiet over in the Lure Formulation forum......
I only want to eat good fish as well. Just to be clear, let me say it this way: When it comes to catfish, bullheads are at the top of my list IF, and ONLY IF they come from good water. I wouldn't eat crappie that came from stagnant water (right before they died due to bad water).
When they come from COOL, clean water, they're as good as it gets when it comes to catfish. The problem with them is they are able to survive conditions that other fish can not, due to estivation. They bury themselves in the mud and wait for rainfall to refill the pond. This means that they taste like chit, I mean mud.
Clean, cool water bullheads are great to eat.

I conned a buddy into lipping a big bullhead like a bass, man that was funny! In about 2008, a knucklehead that I didn't care for then and don't care for now put an Obama sticker on my truck. Thought it was funny.,,,,the same day, we happened to be fishing together when I caught a sheepshead. I held its jaw down and showed him its teeth. I told him that he should touch the teeth to see how much they felt like human teeth. He said "but it's gonna bite me". I replied "I'm touching them now and it's not biting me..." He put his finger in the sheepshead's mouth, and I let go of the jaw. It latched on and bit the fire out of him. He got so mad and asked why I did that. I told him that I didn't appreciate him putting that clown's bumper sticker on my truck.
