About Channel Catfish. Channel catfish are the largest member of the bullhead/catfish family (Ictaluridae) found in NY. The state record is 32 lbs. 12 oz! The average channel catfish is much smaller, however, with fish in the 3 to 8 pound range more common. Channel catfish have a deeply forked tail which can help separate them from bullheads, which have a square tail. Catfish are bottom feeders; they use their barbels (whiskers) to help them locate a potential meal.
