[cool][#0000ff]Yes, BFT member ironworker really does make his living by welding and working with metals. In addition to all the "practical" stuff he does, he also fabricates some beautiful metal fish and wildlife. He also teaches metal work at one of the local colleges.

[#0000ff]Bullheads can be good or bad, eatingwise. I have had them from some waters that were almost inedible they were so strong tasting. The ones I have caught from two or three waters here in Utah have all been fine tablefare. In fact, there are some folks hereabouts who think they are better than almost any other fish.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Many people prepare them by simply gutting and skinning them and then frying them whole. I am pretty good with a fillet knife, and these fish are big enough to fillet, so that is how I prepare them. Then, I coat and fry them in my dry coating mix and hot peanut oil until they are just about crisp. Great eating.[/#0000ff]
