Comment by 10.5" RES Sharon on March 4, 2011 at 7:41am: Well actually, I don't eat catfish at all. Too hard to clean. But, I asked because I would offer it to a neighbor if it was considered good to eat. Did you see the picture? Still think it's a bullhead, not a flathead?

Comment by Zach Pierce on March 4, 2011 at 6:39am: Well it all depends on your taste buds. The bullheads I have eaten were not that good, but then again it could have been the BOW I got them from.

The meat just seemed mushy for a better word.

But that is not to say yours are not firm or mild.

I always say give it a shot, if it is nasty never do it again.

For instance I like Gar, but not too many people have even tried it.

Comment by Josh Milczski (Omaha) on March 3, 2011 at 8:04pm: Do you have a picture of this yellow cat? Is it a bullhead?

Comment by 10.5" RES Sharon on March 3, 2011 at 7:53pm: I caught a yellow catfish in my pond today. Are they as good to eat as channel cats?

Comment by Zach Pierce on March 3, 2011 at 1:57pm: Billy,

How big were the crappie you caught, since it is hard to tell from the pics.? I am curious as I put some in my pond in Dec 2009 and have yet to catch any. Do you know if yours have spawned yet or not?

Also do you think it was a crappie that took your pole or do you have catfish or something else a little more aggressive?

Comment by Zach Pierce on March 3, 2011 at 1:47pm: Those are nice, I hope to get mine to that size.

But I will have some trouble with the girls wanting to eat everything the catch.

I have started tagging fish they catch which they find pretty cool, since they get to measure and weight them. I just hope one of them can catch a taged fish back so I can show them how much they have grown.
