So I am out fishing at 5:30 this morning for the first time at a lake I
havent fished before and caught a Catfish that weighed about a pound
and a
half that had a large knot on its head. I thought I caught a deformed
fish
until I caught 2 more. Never saw a fish like that so asked someone what
type
of catfish it was. I was told back in the 80's here in Mississippi they
had
a parasite that killed a lot of the catfish in these small ponds and
lakes,
so the Government created a hybrid that was immune to the parasite and
offered them for free to anyone who wanted to restock their lake or
pond.
So, I have a question. Anyone ever heard of these Government Cats
(Thats
what he says they are called) and if so what are they a hybrid of?

Got any photos that you can post of these cats??
