Caught this at a freshwater pond near Sebastian. Dark colored and pretty thick for a catfish. Maybe bullhead. I did not measure or weigh as I wanted to get mr. Fish back in the water asap. However you can guess his size by pic. I wear size 14 tennies lol.

It looks like a Brown Bullhead to me. Up here the state record is 4lb 15oz, but maybe they grow bigger down there. Nice catch.

The Channel Cats up here have a sharply forked tail.

Sorry for the poor quality picture.

From what I can see, it looks rounded Mike, but it's not the greatest angle. Not sure.

That's what I was looking for ,a forked tail. The angle wasn't the best. I saw a few spots on it & made me think it was a channel
