>>859542No, it is about pollution not anything else. And, it varies from species to species of catfish. Like you are not supposed to eat channel catfish under 17" more than once a week and over 17" more than 2 times a month. Flatheads are 2 times a month max regardless of size. That is because flatheads are a predatory that is higher up on the food chain than channel catfish.
Of course, you need to check your area's consumption limits on fish, but that difference between species and sizes is notable.
>taste like mudI don't see how since they are predator fish.
>>859593>>859603>>859624>>859585I don't know of anything in freshwater that puts up a real "fight". You are either dragging in what feels like a slow moving log or the fish is dancing around, but all you need to do is keep the line tight so it doesn't turn the hook and merely crank it in. There's literally no tactics to it, no stamina beyond 15 mins if you have a massive flathead catfish, drum, or striper. But those are all logs. I suppose if you bass fish with an ultra light rod with 2lbs line you may have to use tactics...
Meanwhile on saltwater, you can have the battle of your life that tests all your knowledge of playing a fish and your stamina.
