Subject:
Bullhead or Channel cat?
Message:
I just recently started fishing for catfish and I'm having a really hard time determining the fish as bullhead or channel cat. The colors seem to match bullhead yet the tale isn't perfectly round but neither is it deeply forked. Hoping you guys can enlighten me on this. Here is 2 pictures of catfish I have caught. I'm pretty positive they are bullheads but I have been told otherwise. If the second one is a bullhead its a state record and I'm going to report it and if not I'm going to feel like a fool.[img][img:c2667efd95]http://i46.tinypic.com/2lcxqqc.jpg[/img:c2667efd95]

This is quite and oddity. I'm not catfish specialist myself, but I would have to say the first one looks like a bullhead and the second one looks like a dark channel. Maybe something in the water has made it darker like a bullhead. Or perhaps they have interbred somehow creating a hybrid haha

Hi,
I do belive the top pic shows a Bullhead -> Yellow belly and dark chin barbels.
2nd pic is I belive a White catfish -> Whitish chin barbels with moderate V tail .. but it also could be a Channel catfish.
