Bullhead, Mississippi river, Illinois.
Bullhead, Mississippi river, Illinois.
Caught this with a net off shore. I have caught other baby bullheads that are pure black in color, but this one seems to be a light brown. Here is the best pic I could take. He hides a lot, so I can't take a better one right now.
I am thinking it could be a yellow bullhead, but I am not sure.
Thanks,
Steve

From the size of the adipose fin, I think it's more likely a tadpole madtom. A better picture should confirm the ID.
I was just looking at them, and I does look like either the tadpol or brown madtom....i'll try and take a better pic if i can get it. anything I should lookfor that will tell them apart? the cat-elog pics of them are not the best either.
this one did sting my mom in the finger, and she said her whole hand hurt all day!
