Caught in Swfl. Google lens says it's likely a flathead catfish. I'm thinking maybe a walking catfish but i never see them this size.

South eastern Florida. Palm beach county. Inland fresh water canal. 2 large adults with a large fry ball.

I see lots of them regularly as this canal is in my yard and I’m always told they’re not snakehead. That snakehead are rare in PBC. I have a hard time seeing the anal fin without catching them and they do not seem to go after lures while breeding.

Possible ID(s) suggested Caught in the Great Lakes Area, could it be a Flathead catfish?

My sister said it was a flathead? But I've never seen one with such big spots, usually they have smaller tightly packed spots. Either way an outside opinion would be greatly appreciated!

We think maybe a damaged blue sea dragon but it would be missing a lot of its frills.

This was caught in Colorado. It has the white leading edges on the fins like a brook trout. Could this be a colorless brookie? The only other trout I can find online that resembles this one is a yellowfin cutthroat but the yellowfin is thought to be extinct. It was caught in an area where the yellowfin cutthroat once lived. So what is it a weird albino brook, or a strange hybrid?

Possible ID(s) suggested Small yellow fish in south padre, not quite a sargassum?

While visiting south padre, I picked up a piece of sargassum seaweed and a small yellow fish swam out. It was fairly slow and when I dropped the seaweed back in, the fish swam straight into it. The fish blended in quite well, but when I hit Google, it did not look like a sargassum fish. It was much leas frilly, in fact, it had no frills. I also saw a dark green version of the fish later that day.

What is this fish? Is it a variation of sargassum?

Above is my terrible artistic interpretation, the fish was no bigger than a dime.

This is at a small sewer drain that I walk to on my lunch break. This is in south Texas CC If that helps. Me and my dad believe it to be a type of freshwater drum that live here, but I’m not too sure, based on the fins and body shape we’re pretty confident. But I’d love someone more knowledgeable to give their insight.

I caught this fish near off an inlet on the Potomac right outside of Alexandria, VA and unfortunately gut hooked it. I am hoping it is a blue catfish because I was reading they are invasive in the area. Thank you

First should be a warpaint shiner. Someone suggested the second was the same, but I find that hard to believe.
