Awesome! I am also looking for big catfish this year anywhere I can.

The first photo i think is a white catfish (i never seen one irl but i'd imagine them to look like that) and the second photo is 100% channel catfish.

Hard to tell, could be the flash but yeah, white barbels would be a white cat. And that's one big white cat! And a very nice channel!

Nice set of kitties!

White cat state record is 14 lbs and was caught in my neck of the woods. If you have em as big as the one in the pic where you're fishing, keep at it! Perhaps the new record ends up on the end of your line!

That could be an unusually large White Catfish or a really ugly Channel Catfish.
To my eyes, a White Catfish has the head of a Bullhead and the body of a Channel catfish.

Didn't state record white cat came out from some pond in East Brunswick.

Correct me if I am wrong but that's what I heard.

Note to self: when fishing for cats with Dale do not bring hot dogs or wrong species will be hooked.

White cats tail is not forked like the channel cat, at least that's the main difference that I seen:

Photo of white cat from last year:
