Say, Clayton, I'm guessing from your picture that your catch is a big channel catfish. Let's see if you get any other feedback from others who may agree/disagree with me.
Blue cats have a straight-edged anal fin. You can lay a ruler along it, and it will appear straight. At least from the angle of your picture, it sure looks like you have the typical curved anal fin of a channel catfish.
If I'm right, then I thought you might want to know?? Sounds like you have some big channel cats, with some smaller ones following behind in size?
