Catfish

    There are 3 major types of catfish that we will
    cover: channel catfish, flathead
    catfish, and blue catfish.  There are also
    white catfish which are smaller and usually
    don't exceed 20 inches.  There are many
    anglers that love fishing for catfish.  Channel
    catfish are most popular because they are
    found throughout rivers, streams, lakes and
    ponds throughout most of the country.  Most
    channel catfish are in the 2 to 3 pound
    range, but there are lots of channel cats
    caught over 10 pounds with a world record
    over 50 pounds.  Flathead catfish are almost
    as popular.  They are found throughout a
    large portion of the country and are very
    common in rivers and reservoirs.  Flathead
    grow bigger with average fish above 5
    pounds in most rivers, many fish caught over
    50 pounds and a world record over 100
    pounds.  Blue catfish grow very big also.  

They are located throughout the central and southern parts of the
United States.  There aren't as many blue catfish as there are
flatheads and channel cats, but the blue catfish that do exist grow very
big.  Fish over 50 pounds are common with a world record over 100
pounds.
