bullheads in their bellys?

[DakotaKayak]

I was reading sum stuff some biologist did on Lake Thompson here in SD. he was having black bullheads as the highest percentile of forage in walleye stomachs examined... Now in your experience is this just a one time of year (young of the year) or have you found this year around or anythoughts on this?

That's quite well known around here on the Miss by the Flathead guys. I've even bought willow cats just for that purpose.

Never know if ya dont ask... So whos draggin a bullhead lookin swimbait?

LOL! I dont have anything that resembles a bullhead in my boat or tackle box-

I guess that's why I've never complained about fishing lakes that seem to have an overabundance of bullheads. My reading tells me that they are preferred forage for about every predator that swims in North American waters.

Ok... Now ive stepped on one of those baby bullheads a time or two as a kid... How the heck can they swallow em

The size they're eating I doubt the spines are an issue.......... Ever see a 5 inch bullhead? Not so spiny...

Wouldn't a goby shaped soft platic be a pretty good likeness on a jig?

I scooped up a double handful of 2" Bullheads out of a school when I was a kid. My hands felt like they were on fire for a couple hours. The little guys had sharp spines.
