so, i recently learned that this river where i went fishing for channel catfish is also housing blue catfish. this made me wonder if any of the channel cats i caught in the past could actually be blues. i only have two pics, and they are low quality, but i hope they can help identify them. personally i believe these are channels but i would like to hear some opinion from other people, mainly if they commonly see these species

The top one is definitely a channel, but the bottom one might be a blue, but it looks more like a channel to me.

Thank you for the set, Azrael!

They both look like channel catfish to me.

Aren't they both just Channel Cats?

Pull my finger!

First one could just be an overweight channel, like what others said. ;)

But, for the second one, I don't know....

Generally Blues have eyes higher on their heads, a deeper fork in their tail, and a (as their name suggests) Bluer coloration. ;)
