Yellow bullheads are medium-sized bullheads rarely getting larger than 2 lb (0.91 kg) but can reach up to 3.5 pounds. Yellow bullheads range in size from 6-15 inches but can reach up to 18 inches and live up to 7 years. There have been studies that have found yellow bullheads ranging from 1 to 12 years of age, the study used over 200 fish from different habitats in the southern Florida everglades to conduct this experiment.1 In the study they used the total length of a bullhead as a function of absolute age allowing them to compare the pectoral spine length and weight.1 Catfish and bullheads have sub-terminal mouths in which the end of the snout only projects slightly beyond the mouth of the fish.
