I usually only put the trap a foot or two deep if trying to catch bullheads.

Sounds like they went in the trap during the day while there was enough oxygen at that depth then died when the lower water lost its oxygen over night.

Ok if you are trying to kill them. If you want them alive put your trap higher.
