Hi there TubeN2,
I always check your new fishy posts. As always, excellent, interesting. I ran into the problem of having different fish called 'officially' whatever and it turning out to be something completely different than what someone else called it!
The IGFA has a completely different scientific name for it's world record 'White Catfish'. The California state record 'White Catfish' (same scientific name as IGFA) is 22 pounds which IS also the world record established in 94'. Ya California!
I'd rather catch an average size IGFA 'White' if I had my choice between the two sub-species! ha ha ha
