This one looks confusing.....

[MedicDan]

Ok so I go out to the good ol sip' tonight, and catch this, the images aren't real good, but I was confused- catfish or bullhead? Weighed 4.5 pounds. If it is a cat, could you tell me what kind, then, same with if it is a bullhead. I have seen cats this small, but I have never seen a bullhead this large. Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

Sure looks like a channel cat to me. A lot of times they have spots on their sides until they get a little bigger.

Channel cat!

100% sure it is a Channel Cat. Smaller ones have spots all the time, some more than others.

I will also note I did release it.
