Mess of kitties

[Bama_Boy]

My buddy landed these, and I just thought I would share with all you catfish lovers here. The biggest ones are around 20-25 lbs. These are what you call flatheads and blues - no channels in this picture. Based on my handle, you can guess I am from Alabama. I will be heading back there next June after completing a Master's in Structural Engineering. I just wish we had some bigger kitties here in Utah to chase on a regular basis. Enjoy!!

Are the grey ones males? Or are they the blues? I know some folks out here get thinking the males are blues cuz they are - so - blue.

Case in point: (look at those lips!)[inline 07.UgliestCat_MrBlue_6_26.JPG]

They are big blues. I know what you mean out here about the males. I caught my fair share of them last year.
