Where I'm at the channels that get that big are the hybrids (channel & blue). Every now and again there's a full blooded channel over 20 but usually they're in the teens. Unfortunately, gotta keep quiet about where we catch them because some people act like they have to keep every fish they.

I actually saw an angler catch one that big in a river. He was having bad luck and he said on his last cast that if he didn't catch anything he'd call it for the day. That's when he reeled in a two-and-a-half-foot Channel Cat. Biggest one I've caught was 25" which puts it at around 6 pounds. Lots of them in the river here.

Always dreamed of landing a 20+ lb cat but no such luck. Closest I ever came was 1 that weighed almost 15

What state are you in? Im in AL, what helped me weed out the smaller fish was using bigger baits. Whatever size bait your running now double it. You will catch less fish but your avg size will go way up

I caught my biggest channel cat two weekends ago in six feet of water, out of the Oconee River in Georgia. That's my nine year old holding it in my profile picture, it was 19 pounds. I thought it was a blue at first glance, and when I realized I was mistaken I got excited.

I target Channels at a lake near me since they are the next apex predator to Musky's. These channels here aren't older than 8 years old and I've consistently caught 15pounders. Hoping they achieve 20+ pounds in the next 3 years. channels and blues are my favorite fighters.
