Don't know of a fish that will survive longer out of water than the cats. Is there one?

snakeheads are notorious for staying alive out of water. Hell, they'll even flop/walk across land for a few hundred yards and more!

Bowfin are like that. I've had bass stay alive for quite a while if it's cooler conditions

Welcome to the Forum, chazman. The catfish family seems to be the most durable freshwater fish that I aware of, particularly a small baitfish called a willow cat.

I can testify about bullhead, that's for sure. I've seen them after 8hours or more,in a bucket with a bag of ice, pulled them out and they're flopping all over the sink.

Bullhead up here have been in ponds that are dry 2months out of every year, as soon as water comes back, we start catching them again in the same pond, rumor is that they burrow down into the mud underneath the surface crust, and that they survive years in this during dry years

that sounds sad about fish living on land out of the water. can't you put them in a fishing net & submerge them before they are killed?

I'm not talking about that particular fish. I'm talking about catfish, bass, etc.

It's taken those fish millions of years to evolve to be able to survive dry times. Let them do their thing. A lot of species have ways to survive nature's adverse conditions. It's called Survival of the Fittest.
