Catfish - Bayou Benoit
Caught these yesterday in the Bayou Benoit area of the Basin. Biggest was 11 lbs. 11 oz., second biggest was 4 lbs. 14 oz. The others ranged around the 1.5 lbs. Most were caught on jugs. The biggest was caught on rod and reel with whole shad. I have one question about 2 of these catfish. I am not sure if they are a cross between a polly wog and a blue cat or just have different color meat. The fish on the top right of the pic. and the bottom of the pic. looked like small bullhead cats but when I cleaned them the meat had a slight yellow color. The meat seemed to be normal other that that. Any thoughts on this?
