Is this a Brown or a Yellow Bullhead and a Sunfish

I went out for a couple hours and tried a bunch of techniques and the blade bait was what worked today and when it started raining harder I drove around and did a bit of mapping to tighten up the lines around the bigger drops and other structure. Is this a Brown Bullhead or a Yellow Bullhead.

This is my Prize Pack for the Big Fish Showdown held from Aug 1 to Oct 31 2026

Sounds like there could be another one next year and if there is I'll definitely be joining in, I entered 5 of the 8 categories and next year I'll be trying to get into all 8. Monica did a Great Job running it.

Thanx and Tight Lines Fishing 

    

Uncle Mike from Fishing Friendzy Foundation - Youth Fishing League reached out to see about a few hours out fishing

Mikey needed a day on the water and we caught a few before he had to pick up the kids and go to a Parent Teacher interview so I covered a bunch of new and used water after he left lol. Blackfly Lures Buzzbait 4 Blade with Clacker Chartreuse started off right were I left off yesterday. 1st a Largie and then shortly after a nice Pike started following in the shallows and it hammered it, Mike started with a white spinnerbait then switched to one with chartreuse and he started catching them too. After our 1st one each we didn't take pictures of the smaller ones as it got really windy and we couldn't be bothered lol. I ended up catching a 20.75" Smallie while Mike was there and a 21" Smallmouth Bass after he had left and it started to rain a little harder and when I looked behind me I saw a wall of Rain coming so I decide to pack it in for the day after being on the water for 18 of the last 22 days, this might be my new record number of days in like 3 weeks.

Buzzbaits ROCK

Watched the wake behind the BUZZBAIT before it hit BAM

20.75" Smallie

21" Smallie I love Crankbaits this time of year

This was a Topwater kind of day Choppo's and Buzzbaits

I switched to a Choppo and caught this 19+lb Pike and Bonnie caught her Largemouth on a Choppo as well before we switched to Panfish and caught a nice number of Crappie with the biggest being over 11".Bonnie had to leave so I dropped her off and switched up to a Buzzbait 4 Blade with Clacker in Chartreuse then White and then the Metal Buzzbait Black with a Gold Blade. This was a Blackfly Lures kind of day as well switching over to a Big BassTard Flash Series in Black/Orange to finish the day off. Back at it tomorrow 17 days out of  21 days in a row so far.

Double Header

4 days in a row in November with Shorts and Sandals on lol.

A Multi Species day with a bunch of Techniques used

There were a few Largemouth Bass caught and lots of Crappie and a few Bluegill and Perch caught before Bonnie had to leave, then I bounced around trying a bunch of techniques but only caught small Smallmouth Bass and other panfish. Swammers on a belly weighted hook and a Tokyo Rig caught most of the bass and small Jigs with plastic or vibratos caught most of the Panfish.
