Decent day out on the lake, Had a late start... Started out at 10:00 Working the NW shoreline for Small mouth... I had my Father-in-Law with me, I dont think he has the patience for Bass fishing nor understands the concept that staying in one place isn't very productive... Tried a few spots, I lost my paitince with him and moved back to my secret spot for some good old fasioned tight line fishing. Started pulling them in Left and right, sometimes 2 at a time. Between the 3 of us we probably pulled in 40+ fish a mixture of Perch, Rockbass and Mottled Sculpin (JF Google it) We kept 21... Yeah I've caught the Mottled Sculpin before, what a wierd little fish... Looks like a frog, a trout, and a catfish had a threesome and need to go on Maury to figure out who the father is.
Another strange occurance while fileting the fish I cut open the stomach of one of the perch and found the head of a baby bird... slightly digested. I've seen mice and baby birds in the stomach of LMB but never inside a perch. Oh well, had a good day and have enough perch to last a few weeks...

I had been too, but Bull heads are the same as Channel Cats... so I had to google fresh water fish... there aren't many fish that look like that ugly little fish.

lol never knew that. Then again, I havent caught 1 of those in over a decade, since I was a kid. When we use to fish for perch all the time at Lake Washington docks.

Bullhead are not the same as channel cat. There is Brown Bullhead catfish and Channel Catfish. Brown bullhead catfish don't get very big and Channel cat do - Then there are 'Bullhead', which are freshwater sculpin, which is what you described from the threesome. :-)
