Looks like a hybrid to me. Better call a mud cat expert for clarification

Throw you google experts a curveball it looks like a horned pout. Just a little bigger than what is typically caught up north. They have that kind of Catfish up north I found out when I was stationed way up north.

Most coonass's call this a polliwog. I have no idea why probably french for something. We used to catch hundreds of these in stagnant bayous and farm ponds. The meat is a yellowish orange color. I can't taste the difference but I throw them back because they don't get very big unlike a flathead/OP.

Please don't confuse a spotted cat/flathead for a mud cat. Spotted cat tastes great in a courtboullion, Mud cat doesn't

Dude, you posted pictures from WLF departments and both pics debunked your argument - they both said Bullheads AND Flatheads are referred to as mudcats. LMAO

I understand some call both genus's the same thing, you on the other hand are too dense to even read your screenshots.

Too easy with these Nuggets

That thread was started as a home because of this one, and purposely put in the inshore section because everyone knows MudCats are only caught in saltwater.

There you go again calling people names. If you can't understand the article then we may need to look at who is the dense one.

You mean this? The article where the bullet points call the flathead and 2 of the 3 bullheads MUDCATS?

Read closely, maybe try putting your eyes as close to the screen as you did that rifle scope.

You can call it a mudcat a muddog a hush puppy or even a hot dog. I don't care. I know what they are called and was just trying to help clarify what a mudcat verses a op was. Carry on.

Back when I snagged in red river if anyone would have called a flathead/op a mudcat they would have been harassed until they left.lol. Flatheads were prized fish.
