<<I have lived in the south and know what catfish eat. No "bottom feeders" for me, thank you.>>

I don't know what they eat in the South but up here they eat the same things that the $12 per pound walleyes eat, mainly bait fish and crawfish. I've fried catfish filets along with walleye filets and they eat the same.

Farm raised catfish eat the same thing farm raised salmon and trout do, commercial fish pellets. That's channel cats that they raise, flatheads won't eat anything that isn't alive.

Now if you catch a catfish that's in warm stagnant water, toss him back, he'll taste worse than a burnt tire.

I have a friend who only fishes for catfish and has averaged 400 fish a year for over 50 years. Odd thing is, he's never eaten a bite of anything that's come out of the water in his life.
