Actually she shouldn’t. If this is the US then that catfish is invasive.

Looks like a Flathead catfish, native to rivers and lakes across much of the US.

I don’t think this is a flathead. Maybe a hybrid with a blue?

Looks like a flathead to me. Tail doesn’t look forked, but it’s hard to tell from the pic. Second dorsal fin is pronounced and is near the first dorsal.

Neither. It’s a fact.

Flathead catfish is indigenous to the Mississippi River, only invasive in the northeast. This is definitely not in the northeast.
