Agreed, except for the part about them not getting very big. I have gotten some over 10+ inches. Every time I go fishing and think im going to get a nice big trout its just a bluegill :( What I hate is they make me waste so much bait because every time you throw a line out you end up pulling in a bluegill 60 seconds later. I know alot of guys that just toss them over the hill when they catch them to try to control the population... Even the big ones are too much to mess with for the little fillets IMO. I tried to get some fillets one time from a huge one but when I cut in it was basically a hollow void... Now for the catfish, is there an easy way to fillet them? I always figured the spikes (or whatever you call them) would get in the way
BTW, those look like some nice big ones that could provide decent fillets if you know how to do it (unlike me). I would much prefer those morels though. I havent picked any in 2 years but they are the best!!

You must have what we call bullheads here in the Great Pothole State.

See now, I like the bullheads. Nobody here knows how to take them off the hook, but me. :)

Yes you can filet cat fish and bass as long as you have a SHARP filet knife and a steady hand(shaky hands cause lost fingers lol).Its been several years since i found morels :(.
