thank you it was a very odd catch. Ive caught thousands of channel cats and this one stop me dead in my tracks when I had landed him. If I wasnt a snake guy too I wouldnt know what to call it. I dont know if I would call it a paradox...but what do you call it? Its just a catfish with black pigments all over its body and inside the mouth all the way down his throat.I cant even find anything online to help me out. Oh well its swimming freely unharmed back in its lake.![]()
