Well if your talking about the fish i know of, they are jumping carp, a pest to the rivers. They came to our river in the flood of 1993, im in kansas city missouri. I often fish teh missouri river, and these fish get spooked by the engine noise and jump anywhere from 1 to 4 feet in the air. People have actueally been killed by these fish by getting hit in the head whiel traveling at high speeds. Anyways, we often use these fish as shotgun practice, its pretty amusing, and you have to be a quick shot. Please note these fish are a pest, they eat all the micro algea that other fish need to survive on, and they breed very fast. The missouri consveration are thinking of ways to get rid of these fish completely. My shotgun does a pretty good job though.
I could be way off though, i've never heard of a jumping catfish, just a jumping carp. So sorry if im not even close to what your talking about.. haha
