The American catfish, specifically the channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), can grow quite large, with some individuals reaching lengths of up to 4 feet and weights of over 50 pounds. However, the largest species, the blue catfish (Ictalurus furcatus), can exceed 5 feet in length and weigh more than 100 pounds. These impressive sizes make them popular among anglers and a significant species in freshwater fisheries.
