Catfish ID - Channel or Flathead?
[quote][/quote]Thinking this might be a flathead due to the shortness of the anal fin. Pond in Central Oklahoma *** Attached 2 more images. Pretty sure it's a flathead now Catfish ID chart for reference: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/69/aa/13/69aa132af48b5c01eff0177540760262.jpg

Caught one looked like that only smaller ..... never seen that coloration on a channel. Sent the pix to Overtons fishery and he seemed to think it was an old male at the end of his life cycle....
