    White channel cat caught in SC

    Granted this was in 2009, so it’s probably old news, but I hadn’t heard about it so I figured I’d share it.

    I was fishing with a buddy from shore at Blackdog years ago, and I swear he caught one like this, about 7lbs. It was so white it looked pink coming out of that muddy water at Blackdog. Really cool looking fish.

    I have caught two, and witnessed 5 or 6 other ones caught out of the Miss river. They do look pink.
