Player notes
The Channel Catfish is a fish species in Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online. It is a large catfish with a strong sense of smell, living in deep, muddy swamp water. Aquatic plants give it shade and cover, and it avoids bright sunlight. It is most active when the weather is overcast.
Channel Catfish inhabit the waterways in and around Lemoyne. They take Swamp Lures readily, but usually ignore natural bait. Their preference for darker conditions suits the shaded swamp waters where they lurk beneath the surface.
Catching a Channel Catfish provides Gritty Fish Meat. Folklore in the Rio Bravo border region tells of a colossal Legendary Channel Catfish, although the animal is associated with the waters of Lemoyne.
