About Channel Catfish

The most numerous North American catfish species, channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) are also the most fished catfish species, being targeted by approximately 8 million anglers every year. A weight of 2-4 pounds is common, and weights of 10-20 pounds are not unheard of. The world record for weight in a channel catfish was set in 1964 at 58 pounds.

Channel catfish have outstanding senses of taste and smell. They have taste buds spread over their entire body, and can l literally taste with their skin, particularly around the whiskers or barbels located near their mouth. These keen senses allow the channel catfish to find its prey in murky, dark, cloudy water, where vision is useless. Channel catfish are omnivorous, and have been known to be caught on such unconventional baits as bubble gum, soap chunks, and dough flavored with drink powder.

Blue stuffed catfish toy (plush catfish)

Our blue stuffed catfish has been a customer-pleaser since we received our first one several years ago. Now the company that makes them (Zoology 101) has discontinued this popular stuffed fish! We've stocked up to forestall the inevitable day when we have to take the catfish offline and discontinue it ourselves. Meanwhile, we do have a supply of them . . . while they last. At 22 inches long, this catfish stuffed animal is big enough to be hugged and cuddled by children or adults. It's often used as decor at summer parties and barbecues . . . and you can keep it for fun and entertainment when the party is over. You can buy the catfish online at Tapir and Friends, or give us a call (toll free) at (888) 325-3179. If you've bee looking for a nice stuffed fish, you might want to get one while they last! Your purchase also helps support endangered species (tapirs and their habitats). Thanks!
