that right there's funny

Whats with you canuks infatuation with weiners?

I always said Jeff had good taste!

Im with you guys on this one.Ill stick with my boneless fillets.

I here their man Trudeau likes them wieners

I grew up eating them whole too. It was a sin to filet a crappie. Fry them jokers whole

My grandpa showed me how to use their fins to pull the whole ribcage/backbone out in one piece. A feller that knows what he is doing can eat them with no worries about getting a bone

He used to say they tasted better on the bone, but I think it came from harder times. We have the luxury to filet fish, they needed to make every ounce of fish count.

When I was young,,I scaled and gutted thousands of perch that my Dad and I cought.Then he would fry them whole.I finaly figured out how to fillet them.He was watching me fillet up a big batch of perch and was sayin YOUR WASTING TOO MUCH MEAT ! I showed him the filleted carcasses and assured him there was no meat left on them.I gave him a huge bowl of boneless fillets and said here,,bread these and fry them up.We sat down eating and I asked what do you think.He said,,yea,,do them like this from now on!

they could be called mud cats down there , I searched mudcat and it said that was a flat head but the internet doesn't know regional terms.

they are not bad fresh in cold water in the spring , but by the heat of summer they can have mushy meat , they live in about every little pot hole, pod or puddle and most people here catch them to use as bait for big flat heads.

my neighbors nephews like them , they like to eat what they catch and they can go to bloody lake camp and catch bull head right from the back of the camp site. he cleans and fries them , no limit and no size limit they go in spring as soon as it isn't freezing at night.

I hate filleting small fish. If your really picky you could save most of the meat but you leave a lot on the fish if youre in a hurry.

I think the amish around here just grind em.

…. Greencounty… this is what we call a mudcat

yup , yellow bullhead is what we call that here

the black bullhead has a notched tail and shorter anal fin

We call them all Bullhead up here.My friend that is from Main,,says they call them Horned Pout up there.When the water is still cold,,when the ice first goes off,,they are very good eating.Meat turns mushy later in the year.

… well we stomp their bull heads down in the mud around here… ain’t fit to feed a dog

Bullheads, alive, are great (the best IMO) bait for flatheads. I don't eat them either, though I have in the past and they weren't too bad.

…those you got look different than ours ADC… they’re dark brown….got a great big head and a little body like a Guatemalan living off nothing but black beans and bananas

… I’ve heard they make good Op (flathead) bait as well

That's cause your Mex,,,er Texas bullheads look like Ethiopian starving fish.Might be good bait for flys like on them starving african comercials.Our Great Northern Bullheads actualy have meat on them.Try stomping one of ours,,and youl have a quarter inch hole in the bottom your tender foot,,,up through your meskin fence climbing shoe,,right out the top.You best keep throwin fish guts and scales and all right in the fry pan like in your picture.Just spit out the parts that are too crunchy.

… I did have that exact thing happen as kid … went in good and deep… and had a mile and half walk back to the house lol

Happened to my Dad when he was young.Fishing barefoot,,throwing the bullheads on shore.Steped on one and got a horn right up through the foot.Bad infection and had to have the foot lanced.They were mostly living on bullheads and woodchucks at the time.Bout 1933.

… that’ll do it… had soak mine in kerosene lol

Kerosene and Bag Balm.All ya need.
