My son caught this 24" yellowish catfish yesterday in our pond. Any ideas on what it is? Pond was only stocked with CC.

Looks like a channel cat to me. Everything except for the color. What does your water look like?

Yeah, those are CC... When caught from muddy water, they often look that way.

Thanks for the input, I wasn't sure since this is the only one we have ever caught this color.

See the forked tail - that verifies it is a CC and not a bullhead.

It also seems to need a good meal.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
