Fishy fishy in the brook
Grandpa caught 'em by the hook
Mommy fried 'em in the pan
And Davy ate 'em like a man.

Just the thought of a floured Spring bullhead fried in lard or old bacon grease makes my mouth water.

I know, I know, eeew. Damn they were good though.


Yup.....we used to have fired bullheads every year as well.  IF memory serves, easter used to be about the time they'd come in shallow and we'd catch them with cane poles.  Thanks for the memory!!  Smiley Smiley

I forgot all about those. Very efficient but a pain to transport.

Yeah.....my dad used to tie the long ones to the side of the car using the door handles for tie downs.  We could only get out on one side of the car.  Great memories!    Smiley

  My Dad had a friend that made cane poles.
He would get them for free and we kids would test them out.

  I remember one year I being the oldest I got to test my Dad's friend's latest cane pole.

  He made a 2 piece one that used a ferrule of his own design. I was the envy of all the other kids.
  We rode our bikes to all the local lake/river fishing spots. Having a short 2 piece cane pole made for better hauling. I'd get to the fishing spot first and claim the best spot.  Wink

  That all changed the next year when the other kids got them too.  Grin Grin
