Hi Ethan. To answer your question, the “color” of the bullhead more or less comes from the color of their chin barbels. So a black bullhead has black barbels, yellow has whitish/yellowish, and brown has half black half yellow. The one you have at 5:13 is a brown bullhead, which you can also identify because of its mottled/camo pattern on its body (which also gives it its species name nebulosus). Don’t go off the body color for species; fish will change color depending on environment and stress. I used to have a pet black bullhead; when he was happy he was black and when he was stressed he’d turn yellow.

I’m such a goober. So glad you were able to make it out and get some fishing in!

Oh hey! I recognize those twin bridges and cidery! Hope you had a great time in the capital region!

Oh wow. I caught my first fish (sunfish) on a small lake in New York State in 1956 or so. (My dad and mom were Salvation Army Officers stationed in Albany. My dad was the youth guy so he ran a Salvation Army Camp. My two brothers and I fished all the time at the camp. The camp was called Saddle Lake Camp and was located in Moreau, NY. Up near Saratoga and Glens Falls.) We also caught Bull Heads in that lake. This really brought back some childhood memories that I haven't thought about in years. Thanks for sharing!

I FINALLY got my hands on a presso after seeing your videos on it many moons ago. Fishusa had a few in stock so I nabbed a 6’6” UL and it’s been tons of fun 😎

Love it, something about the red horse fly drives catfish nuts man. Looks like it was a great time!

Ethan, received my first order from Mule Fishing less than a week ago. Literally blown away by these plastics, no exaggeration. Horse fly has already caught me a handful of fish. Enjoy your time here in the Northeast too lol. Highly recommended going after some Redbreasts, iirc a species you guys don’t have in the Midwest. One of my favorites.

We used to catch bullhead up at a family friend's cottage right outside of Rose City (Just northeast of West Branch up I-75). It's the only place I've ever seen one anywhere I've been personally, but I'm sure they are everywhere considering how much water we have here in Michigan! Great vid as always brother!

Have fun with family and enjoy the scenery! Some nice catches!

Redfin pickerel in a mudhole! That was cool 😎

The Presso travel is such a good rod for the money. I love my 6'6". It goes everywhere with me.

"I'm gonna lip him like a bass" I yelled MISTAKE in my head as soon as that left your mouth 😂😂😂

Awesome video here and great fish catching as well

I'm having amazing results catching pond sunfish/bass on dropshot and slip bobbers, using the 1" Berkley PowerBait Nymph in Pearl Olive Shad, everything eats it...

Great video and great fishing, cool you caught a bullhead catfish!! I caught one this year, bluegill and perch, it was fun!! Have a good day and week. Thank you for sharing.

We have Bullheads here in Coloma MI on Paw Paw Lake. I caught my first one not that long ago this year.

Great in video, thanks for sharing!!

Fishing under the twin bridges! Man this was cool to watch as a local.

I caught a couple of bluegill and a nice redear this morning, throwing your donkey tail jr’s on a double jig rig (in karma and pasture fire ) I quite like them for multi species 👀!

Great video and work in for your trip. Any really muddy bottom ponds and forest preserve lakes have bullhead. Lots of fun on ultralight. Blessings brother

Looks like you're in the albany area. I usually go up to the catskills in the summer. Tons of fun trout fishing in that area.

Nice work, brother!

Great video and great fishing and I really need to get some of your baits and jigs

6:04 Michigan bullhead are a waiting game but do get chunky

Definitely some great content. Love the videos and merchandise. God bless brother tight lines!!

I don’t know the different species of bullheads but man they’ll spine you and they bite hard for small fish! Hahaha had a buddies pond that was way overpopulated with them.

"I'm literally bleeding" while laughing..... 😂😂😂

I also caught my first bullhead on a horsefly! How funny 🤣. Just made a $150 order for my mom and I because the lures and jigs are just so reliable! Tight lines!!!

Yeah I work too much! Gotta get back in the swing of things, almost forgot the Presso is on my to-buy list. Also gotta check your store, love that jig box.

Yellow bullhead, rounded tail.

so a black bullhead has a yellow belly like the ones you’ve been getting brown bullheads have a lot of dark spots and a white belly and a yellow bullhead has two yellow bottom whiskers they also look a lot more like eels. they are a nuisance where i live they are everywhere in my lake but i think they are pretty cool big ones fight hard on light gear

Hell yeah man! Welcome to upstate

Nice Bullhead!!!! Where is that first spot??? Subscribed

Nice catches, both of those catfish you caught appear to be brown bullheads based on coloration, though I find one of the best ways to identify bullheads is by looking at the chin barbels.

Not sure if black or brown bullhead but a definite redfin pickerel. Congrats on your catch .

You caught the "jimbo" special

Fishbrain says the first fish is a yellow bullhead. I catch them a lot on twister tails here in iowa

Can you do a mailing list for when you restock bass bundles 🙏

Funny you said that about never running into Bullheads in Michigan. When I was a kid my family would go up to the Sagatuck area for vacations and we caught tons of bullheads there haha. Aside from smallmouth bass they're basically the only fish I've ever caught in Michigan. As for identification, I think you're right about them being brown bullheads just based on the coloration and the darker chin barbles.

Ethan just CRANKING out content like a pro KZfaqr! I've caught a few brown bullheads in my home lake - always a nice surprise on ultra light gear!

BROOO can you tell me about traveling (airplane) with fishing gear! Can you please make a do and dont video. I'm going to sub right now.

I hope you soaked that wound in disinfectant! Those bullheads are pretty nasty. 'Round these parts in Massachusetts, the fishing strategy usually starts with "How can we avoid bullheads here?"

What you really had to watch out for was dropping it and it’s barb going through your shoe, and in this case your sandals! When you dropped it I winced but luckily you didn’t drop it on your foot

How do you travel with the tackle? Do they make you check it in? Been wanting the travel presso. Wasn't sure about tackle. Also do you recommend 5'6 or like a 6'?

Awesome video Ethan! I’ve seen it in several of your videos but how are you liking the Shimano Nasci? I’ve been looking at it for a while now and like what I’ve seen of it. Would love to get your opinion tho! Thanks as always, love the content!

Which length presso was it and what did you think of it?

Good bait fish.

Which length presso are you using?

WTG Ethan

are bright colors important or is it based on the location?

where is this spot?

Grab the cats from the belly. The dorsal fin spine facing away from you.

What area of NY you in?? Buffalo area here!

I hate catching bull head, which I do a lot with your baits, slimy, pokey and hard to unhook least favorite fish

First view and comment. Hope you’re doing well Ethan. When will the Donkey Tail Jr be back in stock?

New York? Yikes 😳

Just watch out for those fins on baby catfish. Your gonna get speared.

Wow that is one place you couldn't drag me.

What is this? Fishing for ants?
