On Thursday I am picking up a catfish from a friend who says it is a TSN. However on the picture he sent me, it doesn't seem to be the case. maybe its a Hybrid i Don't have much to go off of, but he says it's 10 inches in length and attached is the Photo he sent me. I am new so apologies if there was a thread i could of put this in instead of making a new post. When i tired it said i need to make 6 posts first (could be user error). Thanks for the patience.

It looks like a TSN, but I see where you're coming from by saying it's a hybrid. The lack of stripes says that it's not a TSN. The nose also looks shorter than a normal TSN. The coloration, however, does. I can't give you a positive ID, but my two cents is that it is a hybrid. I say this because your average TSN looks like this:

Yeah i agree i think its a type of hybrid. i am just wondering if anyone knows the exact ID of the Hybrid like if its a cross between a RTC and a TSN or something else. hopefully on Thursday i can get some better pictures, or someone who has a similar fish can ID it
