Blue catfish in bear river?

[TubeDude]

[cool]If you caught it in Utah, there is a 99.99999999% chance it is a channel and not a blue. Your picture posted so small that there was not enough detail to make an accurate evaluation. However, here is a good pic of a blue cat, showing one of the most easily recognizable differences between blue cats and channel cats of similar size. That is, the length and shape of the anal fin. It is rounded and shorter on a channel cat...straight and longer (almost all the way to the tail) on a blue cat.



BLUE CAT ABOVE...CHANNEL CAT BELOW
