Bush River White Catfish

Type: Tidal
Region: North Central
Location: Bush River

My 13 year old son Dan caught and released this fish on a live White Perch in the Bush River in Perryman on 5/18/13. It weighed 4.5 lbs. Is it a Channel or Bullhead Catfish? Did he release a potential state record?

DNR Response: John, our expert say�s it�s a native White Catfish, our benchmark for a state record white is 7lbs.
