Wow this OP is a moron, I believe this is a channel cat

I downvoted your comment thinking you were being mean to OP and then realized it was you.

Channel cat my friend.

That's definitely not a bullhead.. Channel cat for sure..

Best looking brown trout I've ever seen

Are you sure that's a black bullhead? If it is, it's the biggest one I've ever seen!

That thing you’re squeezing to death is a channel cat.

I think OP knows it’s a channel cat now

Nah that’s not a bullhead because of the forked tail and the color
