caught a mystery fish last night

Guist Creek is one of only 2 places in the state that has White Cats. If you'd never this kind of cat before that would be my guess.

White cats are grayish or more of a white color. It hard to tell without pictures. It sounds like a a young channel cat they will be brown with a lot of spots on them, or a baby flathead. What color was its belly yellow or white. There are alot of the little spotted channel cat caught out of Otter Creek they are 8-17 inches long. If you get another one take a pic of it.

You're right, there aren't flatheads there. It sounds to me like you caught a white. White cats are kind of a dark gray, almost like a shark, on the side, and white on the bottom, with a broader head than a channel. And they don't have spots on the side like channels do. I'm almost positive there are only channels, bullheads, and whites in there. State record bullhead and white both came from that lake, BTW.

hey thanks guys hopefully it wasnt a state record because tha fish is already filleted. I am going to have to watch for these fish in the future over at guist creek..
