I will be putting a video link up of a Bullhead attacking a lure when I get the chance.
I don't care who your dad is , you're not walking across the river when I'm fishing!

Ps known as a Miller's thumb as they are about the same size and shape as a man's thumb.

It was a decent size Bullhead, my mate had never seen one that size!
First glance I thought it was a Ruffe, that would have been a new species for me as well.

Caught a ‘monster’ Gudgeon when I was a teenager, match fishing on the river. Never seen another one like it in the 30’odd years since.
My lad caught his first one last year, brought back memories of when I was young as he loved it.

Bullhead are interesting little things, only ever caught two on rod & line but know of some tributaries two a local river that hold good numbers of them.
