are you sure? I was almost certain he is a blue cat


100% a channel. Some stores like to mark them as a blue channel cat, and then that turns into a blue cat when they get lazy with marking things.

Like everyone else has said, its without a doubt a channel catfish.
 
I would say channel, but don't take my word for it. ID it your self with this diagram.
