I think this a brown bullhead. I found it in my minnow trap while trying to catch green sunfish. Can anyone confirm this. Thank You.

Looks like a yellow bullhead (Ameiurus natalis) to me. The white chin barbels are usually the easiest way to tell the difference. Are you even in brown bullhead range, anyway?

I have to agree with Burbot, I would definetly say Yellow Bullhead. Barbel Color, Body & Head Shape are all indicitive of a Yellow. Looks like a healthy little one too.

Thank you for the ID. He was very healthy and is still swimming in his little pond

yep, that is a yellow bullhead. The other good ID character aside from the white chin barbels is the relatively long anal fin compared to that of a brown or black bullhead.
