When you fillet catfish that size or bigger, they will have a red line on the sides touching the skin. You have to remove that or it gets real mushy and dark brown. I lay the fillets flat(skin side down) on the edge of a cutting board and cut the whole bottom of the fillet off. Then flip it over and remove any of the red meat that is left. That will help with a lot of the mushiness.
