State officials were told repeatedly this was being done but nothing could be done to stop it because there was no regulation on possession number or a size limit. Thankfully, now there is. The new regulation is that only one catfish longer than 34 inches may be harvested and possessed each day by an angler. Furthermore, no live blue catfish or flathead catfish longer than 34 inches may be transported out of Alabama without approval in writing from the Commissioner of Conservation and Natural Resources. Catfishing is popular, fun, traditional and there's no limit on keeping fish 34 inches or smaller. If you want to catch 109 blues and keep them, so be it. Trotlines, jug fishing and limblines are wonderful ways to have fun and put some fish in the freezer for your family or a fish fry.
