The Snakehead Contest is being incorporated into an Inland Freshwater Survey on the Volunteer Angler Creel Survey webpage. For 2013 the end-of-year random drawing will include anglers reporting snakeheads to the Anglers Log as well as anglers participating in the Volunteer Angler Creel Surveys. We encourage anglers to continue to report snakehead catches. The information is helping our biologists better understand how this invasive species increases its range.

Bush River White Catfish

Type: Tidal
Region: North Central
Location: Bush River

My 13 tear old son Dan caught and released this fish on a live White Perch in the Bush River in Perryman on 5/18/13. It weighed 4.5 lbs. Is it a Channel or Bullhead Catfish? Did he release a potential state record?

DNR Response: John, our expert say’s it’s a native White Catfish, our benchmark for a state record white is 7lbs.
