These little channel cats were a pain when trying to fish for something bigger. But kept kids on their toes watching their poles.

Oh catching kitty cats!!

Yes they are very good eating over here. I am always leary keeping one in the 15lb+ range, but my brother in law told me a trick....the meat closest to the skin(in the lower section mostly) almost has a brown or grey look to it. Cut that off and the remaining meat is stellar even on the big ones.

Smaller channel cats in the 3-10 pound class dont seem to have the issue, and it only seems in certain waters the bigger ones have the issue. I used to catfish like crazy

I must try that next time! I have also heard of people soaking them in milk

In the river we fish here they are in abundance sometimes even a bit annoying when targeting Saratoga.

Yes i have done milk soaking as well. Some places where the grey meat is thick, they have a VERY strong fishy taste(and not in a good way). Soaking in milk cuts out the stanky fishy taste. I normally cook them cajun cat style, so for the stanky fish taste to overpower that kind of spice you know its not exactly prime!! @chefdave thought you might have some other ideas on the above?

You guys likely have totally different cats than us?
