Spotting

Thanks for all your help!

Up to you if you are planning to eat it. If not then put it back. It's not evasive.

Wish I would've seen him myself, because, to me, it looks as if that is a mouth opening. It sure looks like he is eating well. If we were ever lucky enough to see him again, would u recommend keeping him out?

Thanks ladies! :) sorta seems like he's smiling haha

Could be scarring from another animal or maybe a fungus

Ah!Well...I tried :) Good luck with the ID.

Unfortunately this is the only photo I have. I didn't personally see the fish, but my cousin took that picture. She threw him back in, so maybe one day we'll see him again. What is up with that mouth?

Sukanya, nice catfish but it's no way near this one.

I am leaning toward Channel but it could be a Blue. Not a Flathead because the tail is not right. Maybe this will help if you still have the fish or better photos.

Would you mind checking out Sperata aor,Pangasianodon hypophthalmus?

Btw, this isn't me and I despise Duck Dynasty! lol

Yeah, the one I posted is a full pic. But, it's cropping it off for some reason.

The invasive species would probably be the Walking Catfish and that doesn't look like one. Walking Catfish has long dorsal and anal fins.

Looks like some kind of Catfish. Possibly a Channel. Do you have a picture of the whole fish?
