That’s a channel catfish. Three catfish species are blue, flathead and channel. Channel are the stock fish. Bullhead (yellow and black) get about 1-3 pounds. A 12 pound is a freakin radioactive mutant. Blues and flathead get over a hundred pounds.

Love this! In Alabama, we gut the catfish, cut slightly into the skin around entire head, nail the catfish to a tree at the head, peel the skin off entire fish with pliers except head, and then fillet it with the fish sitting on the belly. The head staying on until after you fillet it gives it balance. I take the head off last basically the same way as you. Idk if it's the best way but has worked for me for 45 years or so. Catfish is a staple in Alabama. Just an idea.

I grew up skinning and fileting catfish here in southern Louisiana and I gotta say it was very entertaining watching you learn to filet it! Haha. We usually have a nail in a tree or on a post, cut a u shape in the skin by the head, pull the skin off, filet the meat off, then toss the whole thing out! You need a damn hatchet to cut the head off and they're so slimy that you can't hold onto them well without the head! Also we have a log of bodies of water with high mercury levels here, just gotta follow the regulations on how much to eat and don't eat the fish skin, it contains the majority of the mercury just like vegetables Great video as always!

I believe that yellow flesh was the fat. Toss the filet in an ice bath to firm it up and gets the blood out, then you can easily trim the fat off. The fish will taste much cleaner without all the yellow fat.

Thanks for your video. Catfish and bullheads (same family) have no pin bones but a thick ribcage. When I was a kid growing up in the late 1950's to early 1960's in Connecticut we would fish for catfish and bullheads. They were considered back then poor peoples fish has usually people, like us, of lower economics means would fish for them. They are delicious. Catfish and bullhead are no longer considered trash fish, as people now realize that they are delicious.

When I lived in Kansas when I was in the Army, I caught more on spinnerbaits, plugs, and live bait than I ever did on livers or other dead bait. Yeah, they generally live at or near the bottom, but I've also seen people catch them on topwater. If ya wanna see something borderline scary, watch a few videos on catching Well's Catfish.

We take a nail and hang the fish hole right under its Ching by the nail right under the pectoral fins you slice the skin then use pliers to peel it off all at once like a sock then cut your filets out.

I've always left head on and guts in. Helps keep the fish somewhat less awkward on it's side. Feel behind the pectoral fins for a bone that points towards the tail and start your fillet there. Cut from the belly all the way through the skin on the back in one clean cut from there all the way to the tail, but leave the skin at the back by the tail. Then skin that fillet. Leaving the skin attached gives you the whole body of the fish to grab and provides better grip while you're trying to remove the skin. There are obviously hundreds of ways to do it, but that's just the way that has always worked best for me. G Great content and the food looks amazing!

PB here in this area was a 28 pound channel cat largest black crappie probably around 13 inches. We used to go fish that campground in high school even, unfortunately the lake is so low now its hard to find a place to launch a boat which also kills all the bank fishing spots. I know a spot up north a few hours from the campground you should check out. Free camping on the beach and saltwater goodies, best part is you can drive down to and along the beach as far as you feel comfortable.

In order to avoid haot spots when cooking with a Dutch oven, rotate the lid about every 10 minutes 90 degrees to move any hot spots around the tope of the food. Next get a raising device called a trivet . It raises the oven above the coals to allow more even cooking temperature. When cooking rotated the oven 90 degrees one way then move the lid 90 degrees the other way, voila, even cooking.

Taku! You should check-out some catfish breakdown videos. Most I've seen hang the catfish up, don't even gut it, score around skin and rip the skin off, and then slice the fillets off while hanging. A pretty cool and different process. No need to bother with gutting and taking the head off and gets rid of the skin with minimal waste.

Don't use soap (unless it's super dirty). Just rinse it with hot water. You can scrub it without soap. After that, remember to dry it thoroughly (put it on a stove for a little bit is a good way). Then, when it completely dries out, put a tiny bit of oil in there, use paper towel to scrub/ spread the oil evenly to the pan to form a thin layer of coating, so that the next time you use it, it'll have that nonstick coating ready for you. Don't put oil when it's too hot (smoking) because the oil will stick.

Fish fries are a staple here in the South, nothing can compare to fried catfish & fries. Tilapia is trying to take over, but in my opinion its not as flavorful as catfish. I generally use a Cajun batter, Louisiana fish fry or Zatarains, which only requires batter & water. But my personal favorite preference for catfish is blackened. Seasoning a filet heavily then frying in butter. Omg, its superb!!!!

That's crazy, that catfish ate the whole hotdog in pieces! Also awesome that you cleaned up that shore trash...it's amazing that the same people who are out to enjoy nature have no compunction about trashing it.

My grandparents had some friends who lived at Clear Lake. I fished there in the late 70s.

I'm glad you had a chance to sample some delicious fried catfish. May I suggest you try it southern style? Dredge catfish chunks in simple corn meal seasoned with salt and black pepper. Serve with cornbread and fried greens drizzled with a little pickled hot pepper vinegar. This goes wonderfully with an IPA.

It is only the biggest lake in California, hence the name. Mercuryville is on the West bank, also the Big Geysers all drains into Clearlake.

I grew up catfishing and my uncle for cleaning it would put a nail in the head then use a skinner (kinda look like pliers) and peel the skin back and it was so much easier to filet like that but you just unlocked core memories for me thank you❤️

East coast and in the south, catfish is very popular to eat. Try with Cajun spices! Your welcome. Ranks up there with crappie and white bass.

That yellow on the fish’s back is a fat line more prevelant in larger fish. I usually trim that off the yellow fat line because it’s usually off tasting. The catfish is either a blue or a stocked channel catfish. Both are great eating, enjoy.

i remember going to clear lake back in the early 2000's and the fish were all dead floating on top of the water and there was so much algae it looked like a putting green of a golf course for about 20 yards from the shore into the water

Clearlake isn't a good place to eat fish and that "turquoise" spot her was talking about is in an native reservation it's beautiful! It's just over the hill on the ither side of the lake.

A little bit of advice with catfish. One you can use the spine in the dorsal fin to pin the fish on the cutting board, or tree to clean the fish, much like cleaning eel with a spike. Secondly, and most importantly, remove any off color bits like the yellow you mentioned, and also the redish outermost piece of the filet until youve got a nice white filet. Its a lot to cut off but it will be a far superior end product. These parts contain off flavors and toxins. It will vastly improve the flavor of your catfish filets. Lastly, i find staying thin when frying helps the fish be more flaky. Love the videos keep them coming!!!

Nice channel cat, that's considered a pretty big one. Channels are the last resort catfish for me but still delicious, blue cats are better and cleaner tasting often. Flathead catfish are by far the best, and their belly meat makes a very mean sandwich. The cheek meat is very good on flatheads too. Flats taste a lot different because they mostly eat other fish, it almost tastes line another species.
