Additional Information: Unlike their cousins the channel catfish and the blue catfish, the brown bullhead are considered rough fish and not commonly eaten, although they may be quite edible if caught in very clear waters. When taken from such water, the flesh is reddish to pinkish; it is firm and has an excellent flavor. Best fishing at night on bottom with cut bait or worms.
