A flat bullhead (
) or a spotted bullhead (
) will reach that size.

I am not sure,but i think they may be illegal to keep here.

Pick up a copy of your state's fishing handbook (if Mass distributes such a thing every year), there should be guidelines for possession & whatnot. Most states don't consider any catfish threatened or as gamefish, so it's unlikely you'd need anything more than a valid fishing license to collect & keep native catfishes.
This isn't even required here in Michigan, and the only real restriction is on gamefish in the home aquarium. They're subject to the same seasonal & possion limits that are imposed on fishing for any particular species.
