Black Bullhead

Black Bullhead (Ameiurus melas) is a species of Bullhead Catfish commonly found throughout the central United States. These fish usually live in slow-moving, muddy waters with soft bottoms. Black Bullhead can be identified by its squared tail fin, black barbels and a tan crescent around the tail. Average adult Black Bullheads weigh from 0.3 to 1 kg, but Trophy specimen of up to 2 kg can sometimes be caught. These fish are nocturnal omnivorous feeders and will eat almost anything, from grains and algae to insects, dead or living fish and crustaceans.

If you prefer to use natural baits, then the best way to catch Black Bullhead would be to use Small Cutbait on a size #1/0 hook.
