Crafty Bottom Feeders

No,  not my personal favorites the carp. Catfish. Specifically black bullheads. Bullheads are not actually named for the body color, but for the color of their barbels. These ones have black barbels, therefore they are black bullheads despite the yellows and browns of the body. I forget what day this outing was, but it wasn't today. I went out late in the day to tempt these bottom feeders with clouser minnows. Interestingly, few of the fish I caught were actually hooked. They had just clamped down on that fly and refused to let go. They did the same thing to my thumb. As small as these fish are the can clamp down on your fingers and WILL NOT let go. Unless you offer them their freedom.
