I personally did not eat this catfish, my friend who did eat it said it was great.
The fish was caught in Somerset Pennsylvania.
The fillets were very large easy to fillet without getting any bones.

Nice cat, Pletch. I've never caught a channel cat through the ice, but I've caught my share in the summer. Caught my first ten pounder when I was 12 or so. I caught an 8 inch sucker out of Coxes Creek and took it to Lake Somerset. Ran a steel leader through him and tossed him out next to the pier. About an hour later I was in the 10 pound channel cat club.lol

Nice Kittenfish, Pletch. Those are some of the best eating fish that come out of the ice. Brian
