Caught this guy last week on a big crankbait on Dundee Lake. Didn't know cats would hit cranks, but then again, nothing in this river surprises me anymore lol.

Didn't get a chance to weigh him, as he hooked himself and twisted on both treble hooks and I had him out of the water for longer than id like. He was good sized though. Is this guy a decent sized one for Jersey?

My dad caught a 3 lb Bullhead on a Lucky 13 and I caught a 5 lb Channel on a #5 Rapala . They were both caught from lakes .

I know the fish eye lens on what I'm assuming is a GoPro makes the fish look a tad bigger but the state record is like 4 lbs 8 oz. That fish looks close dude... Fat slimy piggy... lol

Don't think he was a state record lol, but he was pretty solid. Fish hit in about 2ft of water, and fought like it was a Pike.

And the beer was a icey cold Heineken that took me 5 minutes to open with the limited resources on my kayak. Ingenuity suceeded as usual though lol.

Caught what I believe was a white catfish on sunday morning on a little mepps spinner... Small, maybe a foot long, and I had a heck of a time getting all three hooks out of its mouth. Never would have guessed it possible.

I caught a Bullhead on a Daredevil once in upstate NY. Catfish never surprise me.

Looks like a bullhead. And a big one at that. Never seen a brown bullhead that big before. Up until just seeing that pic, I had never knew they got that big. Congrats on that catch.

they get pretty big. in last year's skillful angler awards the largest bullhead was 19".
