Oh yeah. I have not been out in a few years but we would take a can of cat food and poke a bunch of holes in it and toss it into the pond or wherever we were fishing. later when it got dark we would go to the shore build a fire and start fishing. getting about 50-60 each and then bring them home at around 2 am and skin them. I got pretty good at it and could clean and skin one in about 20 seconds or less until I had a bucket full of gasping heads and a bowl with slightly squirming flesh. Cook them in butter, salt, pepper with some eggs. The heads would go in the garden or tossed in the trash. They were about 6-8" long and i liked the white bellied ones better than the yellow bellied ones for some reason.
I bet the bullheads were bigger maybe 16-18" long and fat.
