Channel Catfish

The channel catfish (Ictalurus lacustris) was designated the Tennessee state commercial fish in 1988. Channel catfish are bottom feeders (sometimes called spotted cat or fiddler) and can be found in most Tennessee streams and lakes.

The large-mouth bass and small-mouth bass have also been designated as the state sporting fish and state game fish of Tennessee.
