They in fact are the same... Just to you they aren't. From Oklahoma to Florida the flathead cat is synonymous with having tons of other names, Mud Cat is one of them.

The bullhead is also called a mud cat

My family catches quite a few catfish every yr. I'm pretty sure a mudcat and a opp is not the same.

I do, do you understand that mud cat is a slang term for a fish that can vary from parish to parish? Bulkheads and flatheads are MUDs - doesn't matter if your family only calls one of them a mud, the family down the road calls them both MUDs.

Valid point Gooh. In Louisiana there certainly isn't a shortage of "well that's what my grandpa and my dad called it". I kinda like it that way. .

If they are the same then why does even the Oklahoma wildlife and fisheries classify them different?uploadfromtaptalk1406498367395.jpguploadfromtaptalk1406498367395.jpguploadfromtaptalk1406498367395.jpg

Genius! Read the frickin poster, it says they are both called mudcats.

Thanks for arguing though.
