    Red tail cats look like heads with fins, my dad had a wild channel catfish he caught when I was 2 or 3, I named him Gary. Gary was given to “The Ocean Floor” in AZ a couple years later, my dad and the owner had an agreement that he’d hold onto Gary and he could comeback anytime to scoop him up, Gary was given his own ID “Gary the catfish” and a $500 price tag to deter people from buying him just to eat him but if he sold…he sold. We had an issue finding a tank and space/room big enough to hold Gary, and a separate tank for our other fish. Last time I saw Gary was 4-6 years ago, I went back the next year and he was either sold or he died. Gary had to have been older than 15 and at least 45lbs, he HAD to have his own tank because he insisted on eating everything that moved. Legendary catfish
