Detailed Description:

The channel catfish fish photo shown below is a close up picture showing you exactly what a channel catfish fish looks like. Channel catfish are well known by most fishing anglers, because they are abundant in fresh water areas, and a favorite food for many fish eaters, and also grow to large sizes which makes them a fun target for fish anglers. Most fishermen are familiar with channel catfish, blue catfish, and flathead catfish, and even bullhead falls into this same fish family. The color can vary a bit, but smaller channel catfish are often covered with black spots and a whiter colored body, while as they grow older and larger, the spots gradually fade and they become slightly darker colored. You can catch large channel catifsh in small creeks, lakes, ponds, or even large rivers like the Mississippi River. Channel catfish are like other catfish and feed on many different things, bait such as worms, cut up fish, crayfish, minnows and other bait fish, or even corn may also work as channel catfish bait. These fish are found in almost all fresh water areas and are also very good for stocking in local or man made ponds.

Forked tail and whiskers are common traits of the channel catfish, and the bottom is much lighter then the top.

Please remember to always following fishing regulations for catch and release, as it is important to release fish to help keep the population strong for the next time you go out fishing. Releasing larger fish that produce the most eggs is also critical, and remember when releasing fish that you handle them as little as possible, and get them back into the water as soon as you can.
