Maybe southerners just think those things are good to eat cause they dont have any pickerel.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Theres so many channel catfish in parts of the Missouri River its crazy and it seems like the old times that used to harvest them are a dying breed.

We have walleye here in KS. They are delicious. I wish we had a lot of them. Boco, when you fillet a catfish cut out all the red and yellow meat. Fry up some pieces of walleye and pieces of catfish in small enough pieces you can't tell the difference by sight then try to tell a difference when you eat it. A flathead is a predator. They dont eat rotten stuff. Big blues rarely do. The belly meat and the meat behind the eyes on the head of a flat head is as good as any fish out there. It doesn't taste like tuna or salmon but to me its just as good.

Depends on what rivers the catfish come out of most guys wont eat them here because of the health advisories on them.

I LOVE catching big catfish, but for eating walleye, pike, crappies, perch, and cold water trout all rank higher. Yeah, catfish are good, but not as good as any of those.
I wish we had good catfishing here. Best I can do is a handful of channels and if Im lucky once in a while one pushes ten pounds

Belly steak from a flat head is the BEST MEAT you will ever eat. BAR NONE . PURE white meat no bones, no grissel, no mud veins. BAD info on catfish is the small one are better ! BULL the big ones you cut the red/dark meat out of and nothing compares to it. I eat wall eye but the walleye is like carp compared to the belly meat from a flathead. It smells like popcorn popping when you cook it is criscoe I think your taste buds are scarred from the hot crisco!

You guys are confusing channel cats with blues and flatheads. Three completely different species.

I think the main reason they are upset is they eat all the native fish. I sat at a dock a few years ago watching a stocking of both lake trout and walleye fry. The flatheads thought the dinner bell had rung.
I love catching big flatheads on the Ohio just as much as walleye and salmon in the great lakes.
