Pollywogs or mudcats is what we called them. I don't remember if butter cats was the same thing or not.

Don't forget bullheads. They're a small catfish that don't get more than about 10-12" long. They're great bait for flatheads. The bullheads got pretty much wiped out of the Altamaha river in Georgia.

polywogs, mud cat, butter cat (fer the real yellowish 1's)...I use to catch them the size of tad poles and raise them in my aquarium...Now I put them in my plastic pond at the front of the house....I think I got 1 thats about 8-10 inches...might have a couple more smaller 1's. They are real purty when raised healthy in a tank. :letsdrink

Polywogs areusually Yellow bullheads, Ameiurus natalis. They are excellent table fair and excellent bait for trotlines, if you are after Flatheads.
