The research I have done online, the biologists do not distinguish them from “regular” blues but they are definitely a different fish.


Ok... they’ve been here in East Texas ever since I can remember... in fact they make up the majority of the catfish in the lake here

Had a buddy text me a picture last year of his good night of blue cat fishing. They were all spawning channel cats. lol He asked me how to tell the difference. I said put your hand in their mouth. If your knuckles are bloody when you pull it out you have yourself a bluecat.
