Question

Why do anglers do not consider bullhead catfishing as sport fishing?

Answer 1

How do you form this claim?I don't really think this is fairly true just maybe partly true.Cos when u r fishing for a long time,u tend to set standards among your fellow piers,so if they r new with this fish then its consider worthy but after awhile they switch to some other species.generally there r certain guidelines bout these trash vs game theory/one part may consider trash the other may say its game.I don't give a f... bout what others say cos its my fishing not theirs.Last time my friends all bought those high end reels n rods,some cost thousands per set,they have 4 to 5 sets.I don't care not cos that I couldn't afford these,actually with my income I can buy what they have one shot just like that but its not what I wanted,I know what I want,when I want n free  from judgements/pressures.I don't give a d**n what they r telling/saying,every each time the laugh at my inferior gears sort like jokes,I just f... them straight,after I upgraded I don't even want to show them what for its my stuffs n my fishing.

Answer 2

because they are easy to hook, and easy to bring up if you have proper tackle....not much of a challenge...

Answer 3

I agree fishing is fishing - as for sport where is it?  bullhead and bluegill are like the easiest fish to catch, therefore they don't present much of a challenge.

Additionally, they don't grow very large either...most times I use them for bait for bass - they work great!!!

Answer 4

I suppose its because bullhead are tiny. I'm not a big fan of bullhead myself as they will swallow live bream dang near their own size which makes checking lines a pain and less productive for larger catfish species. I consider bullhead more of a nuisance than anything.

Answer 5

fishing is fishing no matter what you are fishing for

Answer 6

I dont know where you are fishing at , but where I fish people do enjoy catching them
