Don know much about catfish,but I would assume those are much better for eating than the big huge ones you see posted.

Old wives tail…I can get a lot of fillets out of a couple 30# Appaloosa’s and no one has ever been able to tell a difference.

A rule of thumb my fishing buds and used to use checking set line we'd turn loose channel cats over10# and flathead over 15# . I think the quality of the fish varies with water temp and quality, especially on the bigger fish.

MAN turn lose a big flat head ??!!! ARE YOU CRAZY ? The best meat of any kind fish deer or fowl is the belly steak from a flat head. NO BONES NO RED MEAT !!!!! 2-3 inches of pure tasty goodness !! Caught a 45 lber one night on a bass jig feed the whole family 4 times on the steak from the belly . Big as a hub cap and 4 inches thick Smells like popcorn popping when you cook it

Like I said,not familiar with catfish.
I prefer pike under 6-8lb,bigger than that they are not near as good eating.
Pickerel same thing 2-3 lbs are best eating fish.

Not to mention larger fish have higher levels of contaminants,which is not a big concern to me at my age but would be for children or women who may be with child or plan to.
Even in the most pristine waters large pike pickerel etc accumulate natural mercury.

Im over here trying to dye a truck load of tangled up rusty gov traps and your off goofing off again!

ALL catfish taste like mud, is what they eat off the bottom along with any other trash that's down there.

Get Bozo to send you some pike, lol.
