Agreed Zach. Thanks for the help with the ID. I've done a lot of catfishing and I haven't seen too many white cats. It's a cool catch. I know that some of those Middlesex County waters have better populations than other places.

Good catch dude. Looks like a productive evening on the water. I've jigged up quite a few of those White Cats through the ice at Swartswood. The damn cat pulls just like a Walleye through the ice. I say fry em up.

I didn't notice until you pointed it out.
I would have to see the shape of the nose to make a confident ID, but judging by that tail, it could very well be a large White Bullhead Catfish.

Eskimo,

Sorry I did not take a better picture. I took a bunch but only the one I posted came out better the others.

But as far as doing some research on the subject, I can pretty much stake a case of anyones favorite brew on the fact that it was a white catfish.

Like mentioned one thing that threw me off is the fact that fish was hooked at night so I never gave a doubt that it was a channel cat.

Thanks to all for pointing out.

I did. When I was night fishing water level was much higher than two weeks before. Was easy to tell since I left some markers on the shore line which were under water when I have returned. So yea it was higher but not as high as it was in June. Coming back tonight so update will be posted tomorrow. Hopefully with some fish porn

Yours Truly,
