Chris, being from Maryland, do you eat catfish? When I was at Northwestern University in 1971-72, a number of people from the northeast said catfish weren't fit to eat, but I don't know what kind of catfish they had in their area. But I'll never forget the supermarket we used had quite a variety of fresh fish, but no catfish. But then one day I was there and they had 3 whole catfish of a size to cook whole, and quite a pile of catfish fillets. So I bought the 3 whole ones and a pound or two of the fillets. The whole ones were very good when my wife fried them, but the fillets tasted so bad we threw all of that in the garbage. I have no idea what kind of catfish those fillets were, but if that's a what a northeastern catfish tastes like, I can understand no one eating them. And that one time was the only time the supermarket had catfish, and it was the cheapest fish they had. Now I know why.:laughing:
You know along the Texas coast, there's a saltwater catfish called the gaftopsail, or just gaftop; very good eating. But there's also one everyone calls a hardhead; good looking catfish, but everyone claimed they were just trash fish. Naturally, I had to find out for myself. I skinned and gutted 3 of them for my wife to fry, and one bite was enough to convince me they were just trash fish.:laughing:
But we certainly do enjoy eating channel catfish.
The water pattern is about the same I have pushing aboutr 1 cfm. That model will work for me. I have been looking at compressors 5 times the price. Thanks.
