What is a mud cat?

[southern151]

Back home(Oklahoma), a mud cat was typically found in ponds and slow moving creeks, rivers. They were very yellow in color, especially on their bellies. A BIG mud cat may make 3 lbs. and, in my opinion, isn't a single one worth eating. To me, they are the hard head of fresh water.

Outside of that, there was a channel cat, blue cat and, a flat head. And, for the love of God, they're friggin' crappie, not white perch or sacalait!

Ok, I feel better now.
