Savell can you remember when you first started catching high fins? When I was a kid we had channels and “regular” blues, we call them something else but in today’s political correctness I won’t say that word. It wasn’t until the mid ‘90s when I saw my first high fin blue in lake Eufala and it was called a Mississippi white or white channel. Only recently we have started getting them in our local rivers. 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

Nice mess of fish. The middle boy looks like he don't take no $hit from anyone. lol Many folks confuse male channel cats with blue cats 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. ol'dad
