OK this guy was pulled out of a lake in Nebraska. And it has me a little stumped. I dont think its a channel, there are too many spots, ive never seen a channel that size with so many spots. But i cant get a good enough view of the head to be for certain. Website from nebraska says they stocked it with channel and bullhead if i remember correctly. My thinking is its some sort of bullhead, but im not not positive, so i would send it out to my catfish masters for an answer.

looks exactly like the channel cats around here. depending on the river or lake i go to they vary greatly in color and shape due to diet and water parameters. but most definitely look just like that.
 
Channel cat
 
I agree channel cat too, looking online you will see it is very common and normal for them to have spots. I looked a lot because before I joined this site, I saw them in my LFS and wanted one, until I saw how big it got. :)
