We go after and catch 20-70 lb blues and flatheads on the Missouri River
all the time. We swim them in a tank with an aeration system for 2-3 days
before cleaning. The taste is no different from the small ones.

We also grill the slabs from the larger ones over charcoal. These are
great!

When I was younger, I would catch those big catfish and fry them up and
eat them. They didn't taste nearly as well as the smaller pan-sized
catfish I caught. Even when filleted. Now, if the catfish is over
sixteen inches long, I toss it back. Can you taste the difference from
the big five pounders and up to the smaller two pounders or less?
