I prefer channel cats. I like blues as well. I can not stand the taste of farm raised catfish. Moving water catfish are about the only ones I care to eat.

I'm not decided on taste, I think all catfish is delicious. But pound for pound, I'm convinced that channels are the best fighters.

Channel cat. I also like blue cat too. And Shane, I disagree about all catfish being delicious. Try a mud cat and tell me how good it is.

Channel Cat... I have tried the rest but I just prefer channel cat the best. Has a much cleaner and less fishy taste to me. Tastes great when it is fresh.

Alright, good point. I guess I was only considering the "eaters".

i like blue's because they are a more aggressive catfish and eat more live prey as apposed to eating things dead off the bottom

it all depends on where they are caught its hard to beat a flattie caught in clear running water especially around the rocks blues are really good and so are channels but then again it all depends on size and location a flat caught in really muddy water wont taste as good as the one in the cleaner water

I eat mostly crappie and bluegills and I bet most people, including me, could not tell the difference if they had a plate of each setting in front of them.
