I get it, tugs are tugs, but I just as soon get skunked as to bother unhooking a worthless mudder. Just my .02 cents of course."Mudcats" (bullheads) can be pestiferous...when they grab the bait or lures intended for other more glamorous species. But there are a whole lotta anglers around the country that learned to fish by hauling in a bucket full of "mudders"...and who still have a soft spot for them.
And, like all catfish, bullheads are often (wrongly) considered to be "trash fish"...living only on stinky stuff and not being good table fare. Actually, any species that lives in unclean water or dines on "flavorful" food can develop adverse smells or flavors...even trout or bass from some waters. Catch them from most of the clean water habitats in Utah...of reasonable size...and they can be mighty toothsome.
Doggone it T.D. There you go again making my mouth drool
