That is it. No doubt.

Thanks for the replies!

NOTE: Yeah, wizkidd, I released. There's no room in any of my tanks to fit it, the biggest I got is a fully-stocked 80-gallon. Wouldn't want it, anyways.

Hi, just wanted to introduce myself.

Hi, I recently caught a catfish in my local lake, Lake Elsinore, in South-West California. I can't ID it.

It is round, very slimey, a drab green in color, has a pale underside, long "whiskers," and is about 2.5-feet long. Any help would be appreciated! :?

BTW, whatever this type of cat is lives ...
