definitely not a channel cat thats an eating machine probably eating some of those bass. if theres just one Id leave it for the fight but if theres more Id get rid all but one. channel cats are also eating machines theyll put a big hole in forage. have a catfish tournament and keep them all and have a big cat fish fry, best way to get rid of them
