Scales are too big for a RMW and its too skinny for goldeye/mooneye. I would say its a chub, freeze that buggger and use it for pike bait come hardwater!

I caught the same kid of fish in the spring on the lower Red Deer river. From what I was told they are flathead chub. I called fish and wildlife to check, they told me they were legal to use as bait. Just have to be dead.( preparing for ice fishing ).
Where did you get that one from?

At first glance I though Tulibee but he's right, this makes it a flathead.

Used to have fun catching Flathead Chubs in the assiniboine river with the kids under a bobber and those small Berkley power bait trout worms. We would slice them along the sides and rig them up for Catfish bait in case the cut Goldeye or Sucker wasnt producing.

Manitoba Right below the Portage Spillway. Great place to fish if you need a break in your travels on your way to Winnipeg. Make sure you have your license and keep a few walleye for the pan.

Apparently Stonecat are the only current species of catfish in Alberta I can find literature on but either way I learned something today, thank you. Good thing I got out of bed this morning!

The reference book I have notes that the average size is 20-30 cm. The biggest recorded was found in Wood Buffalo Park at 37 cm.
Yeow! Those are pan sized....wonder how they would taste?

Ahh! you were wondering about the cats at Lockport.? My biggest was around 35 inches.....not sure what it would have weighed. A little North of 20 lbs.
I think they take them close to 30 lbs. 100% catch and release.

I was refering to the size of the cats. That's something I've never caught and I was just curious as to what it's like to fish for them. But I don't want to railroad the thread. I'll ask somewhere else.
