Channel catfish vs Blue catfish
Are spots on the channel catfish the best distinguishing feature? |
|
Quoted:
I might be wrong here, but I seem to remember that channel cats have the forked tail and the blue cats have a rounded tail. Both are forked, but the anal fin in a blue is different than a channel cat-I believe the anal fin of a blue cat is shorter than a channel cat of the same size and a slightly different shape. ETA-I had it backwards. Blue cat has the longer fin. Also, I THINK while both tails are forked, the blue cat has the tips of each fork rounded and the channel cat is sharply pointed |
