I'm sure they taste better when they haven't been around mud, but they can hide better and get big in muddy water. Actually, I wonder whether a clear, cold rushing stream would carry enough organic material for a catfish to eat.
In Cottonwood Falls, Kansas, we chatted with a man who had caught a 60-pound catfish from off the stone bridge right on Main Street. (the bridge no longer carries vehicles.) Everybody in his extended family got catfish to eat.
Q, don't feel bad because you've never seen the Suwannee River; Stephen Foster probably never saw it either. And yet he made it famous.
