Blue Catfish
Blue catfish are the largest American catfish. They can grow to over 55 inches long and can weigh over than 100 pounds. Blue catfish can live up to 20-25 years.
Adult blue catfish have stout bodies with prominently humped back in front of the dorsal fin. They have deeply forked tails similar to channel catfish, but lack spots and have a large straight edged anal fin. The back and upper sides are blue to slate gray, and the lower sides and belly are white.
