heard two sides of the argument for willow oaks as to why they are referred to as 'pin oaks', one is that the the leaf is long and pointed like a pin, the other is that these were the oaks that were found in the bottoms nearest the river, and the shipbuilders used this wood as the pins holding it together

you mean there arent any pin oaks on hwy 15? mind blown

From what I've always been taught a goujoun an a mud cat are different.

The goujoun-ops-flathead, is the big fish the mans holding in both arms.

The mudcat-bullhead cat is the little one the guys is holding with one hand. Totally different fish! The heads are totally different and the shape of the body.

Goujoun is the best catfish I've ever had. I don't even keep them bullhead cats.

And the goujoun is more often than not caught on live bait.

Back home(Oklahoma), a mud cat was typically found in ponds and slow moving creeks, rivers. They were very yellow in color, especially on their bellies. A BIG mud cat may make 3 lbs. and, in my opinion, isn't a single one worth eating. To me, they are the hard head of fresh water.

Outside of that, there was a channel cat, blue cat and, a flat head. And, for the love of God, they're friggin' crappie, not white perch or sacalait!

Ok, I feel better now.

Don't confuse rednecks with yankees. That's like calling a flathead a mudcat.

Ya don't say! Go to any store for sac a lait jigs and, they will be labeled as crappie jigs. And, for whomever asked about what we call "green trout," throughout the rest of the US and, many other parts of the world, they are referred to as bass. Some get a little more technical and, call them black bass.
