Hell yes I eat catfish...and bass and crappie and bluegill.
I'd wager that most of the catfish you eat at the catfish houses and other restaurants come from fish farms...they're not grubbing sludge off the bottom of a dirty river.
I fish more in ponds than anything and I've pulled 5lb cats from the pond and had them on the fire pit 5 minutes later.
Flatheads eat live bait, and while I don't hit the river as much as I like to, a good white fillet from a flathead is tough to beat.
I know some guys who will run lines in the river, and they'll put the fish in a cattle tank for a couple of days to "flush them" before eating them.
I wish this damn ice would melt....
