You are listening to What’s The Catch? the podcast with your host Andrew Rowan.
In this episode of What’s The Catch? We’re gonna discuss: Catfish, what they are, where to find them, how to catch them, and why you should wanna catch them.
Catfish are a type of ray-finned fish. There are many different species of catfish and can be found pretty much anywhere in the world except Antarctica. They get their name from the barbels on their face, which look like cat whiskers. To make this episode more interesting and less time consuming, we’ll just be talking about the ones I'm most familiar with, that being the Channel catfish and the Blue catfish. Both are extremely common, with the Blue catfish being the most plentiful in the country. Both also can grow to be extremely big, with the blue in particular being able to reach over 100 lbs!
Fun facts:
Both of these types can be found in Lakes, ponds, and reservoirs all around the State of New Jersey.
Even if you're not fishing in Nj, if you find a new spot and want to check it out, I would recommend throwing out a line for these guys. You never know if they could be in there or not
