What is the Best tasting catfish?
The best tasting catfish is the Flathead catfish. The best meat on a Flathead is the belly meat. I believe Flatheads taste better because they mainly feed on live bait, where other catfish eat just about anything.

Catfish Bait - Not Necessarily Stinky?
Most anglers have at one point or another caught catfish. Widely considered fine table fare, catfish are one of the most ubiquitous fish. In fact, most giant freshwater fish are in fact catfish. The Wels catfish in Europe and the Mekong catfish of Thailand routinely grow to six feet or longer.In North America, catfish do not get that large, but some catfish can break the 100 pound mark. More on those catfish in a moment.Bottom fishing for catfishMost catfish are bottom feeders. They use their sensitive whiskers and keen sense of smell to find food. This is why for many catfish anglers, the stinkier the bait, the better. The strong odor attracts the fish. Common baits include chicken liver, cut bait, worms and other fish entrails. Some anglers have their own secret recipes using almost anything to tempt the catfish to the bait.River Catfish - Anything but bottom feedersIn large river systems, the catfish is not a bottom feeder, but a top predator. Species like the blue catfish and the flathead catfish are top predators of the river ecosystem. Catching them requires not stink bait, but live bait.For flathead and blue catfish, the best bait to use are small live panfish, like bream and bluegills or shad, like the threadfin and gizzard. While it may seem odd to fish for bait to fish with, that is what is necessary to catch predatory catfish. That is to say unless you are a noodler.Noodlin' - Yes, that is spelled correctlyIn parts of the Southeast and as far west as Oklahoma, the flathead catfish move into shallow waters to spawn in the spring. These fish move into pockets of debris and brush. The noodler uses their own hands as bait. As they put their hands into the catfish hole, the cat swims forward and bites the hand. The noodler surfaces, catfish in hand.Unorthodox as it may seem, noodlin' is very effective, producing fish in excess of 20 pounds on average. The real enjoyment of noodlin' comes when the prize is cooked and eaten.So, when you think of catfish next time, do not immediately assume stinky is better, unless your noodler has not bathed in a long time.
What types of catfish bait do you use to catch catfish?
The main foot catfish eat is crawdads. The crawdads are probably the best bait. The meat from the tail of the crawdads is the best. Just remove the shell from the tail of the crawdads. You can purchase crawdads at any tackle shop or catch them yourself with a crawdad trap. Also, any kind of cheese is a good bait for the catfish. You only need to cast 25 feet in front of you to catch the catfish.
What is the perfect conditions to catch a catfish?
For catfish some bodies of water are much more prone to have trophy fish than others. Small ponds for instance may have large amounts of Catfish but will rarely have any true trophies. Bodies of water that hold Flathead Catfish and Blue Catfish are much better places to fish for a true trophy than a lake that only has Channel Catfish for instance

What makes good catfish bait?
The best bait is chicken liver but in Florida you need minnows. The catfish has a good sense of smell. The baits that are the most effective are called "stinkbaits" because they give off a strong scent. Typically, mackerel is used as a cut bait because the fish gives off oils. Man-made baits often include bloods of various types, garlic and some flour to bind the combination together. I recently discovered that in the rivers around N E Ohio catfish LOVE hotdogs. I use chicken liver but i have used a bettle spin and have suprisingy caught 2 on them. One of the best bait is at Walmart is lil stinker or chicken blood and liver
