And Bullheads make awesome live bait for big Flathead cats.
How is Steve doing old buddy?
[quote TubeDude][#0000FF]That fish is clearly a channel cat...and a nice one. You can't always determine fish species by color alone. Channel cats can be anything from pale grey to dark grey to black to the coppery color in your picture. The young also often have spots on them, which usually disappear as they get older.
The key is in the shape of the head and the fins. Bullheads have squared off tails and channel cats have a forked tail.
Here is a picture of a yellow bullhead.
