Steve (aka the dark one) knows fish real well and he is a professional. From that pic all I can say it is likely an Ameiurus. That's all. And I don't read Latvian or Lithuanian, whatever that language was.

In fact, I cannot tell firmly if these are bullheads or channels except that tails appear squarish, as in bullheads.
