Bullhead Fishing: Gut Hanging Out Its Butt

[enginegeek21]

Hello everyone, today we went fishing for big bullheads at our neighbors pond. 2 out of the 6 total we caught had a sack hanging out its butt. No joke. I got scared that I killed the fish by reeling it in through the mouth. But, all fish were released and they all swam off healthily, even the two with the gut looking thing hanging out. Is this normal for bottom feeding fish like bullhead???

Thanks,
Bryce

It's a small catfish, some different types are black, brown, and yellow bullhead. Large adult bullheads are anywhere in the 4 to 5lb range

I think that’s poop, but I’m no expert.

Looks like you might have scared the **** out of it. Also those bullheads teeth are so much rougher then catfish teeth
