Would the bullheads come out now?

LMAO I'm a terrible mother.

When I was a kid, I learned from my mom when we fished off the dock, you stop fishing when the sun gets close to the treeline because that's when the bullheads start biting. They're gross. No one wants that. They stink and you don't want to touch them to unhook them.

Logical conclusion by childhood me, one must never swim at dusk because the bullheads will surely get you. ...I carry this mindset well into adulthood. There is no night swimming for this girl.

...So I miiiight've convinced my tween that she can't swim when the sun is setting because the bullheads and northern pike will get her. Really, I just dont wanna play lifeguard after a full day of watching. 🤷‍♀️😆

Kid asked me as the sun setting just now "would the bullheads come out now?" ...I might've laughed.

Northern pike have needle-sharp teeth!

@ProfessorPlum77 they do, but they generally don't come into the shallows to bite swimmers.

@Starcrossed Very true. They like the deeper, colder water.
