It's easy to catch because of its voracious appetite and is found in nearly all Indiana waterways. Other catfish are more picky eaters, and prefer live bait. Some people use bullhead cats as bait for the bigger channel and blue catfish found in the larger rivers and lakes. Channel, Flathead and Blue catfish can get enormous, some reaching 6-8 feet and weighing over 300 pounds! That would be like reeling in a log. Julia,

I enjoy reading your posts. They are entertaning and I have no doubt I will come away with some knowledge about fishing. Patience is obviously necesary while trying to outsmart the fish but it also sounds like a peaceful adventure. What is a "bullhead catfish"? Does it have a distinctive mark to earn him that name?

That is a funny story. That fish must have really been hungry to get the bobber in so deep that it stayed for a week. I have always heard that catfish are strong willed and stubborn!! I agree.

Miraculous that you saw the same fish and got him and your bobber back. That’s a very funny story! Miraculous that you saw the same fish and got him and your bobber back.

I enjoy fishing too but I have never been fortunate to catch a big one. I use bobber's too. They can be misleading especially when you have a strong current. That’s funny.

Especially that the fish was still hooked a week later and he was able to walk out and get it. Hey, that’s quite a story.
