caught 2 of these yesterday.
i caught them in the dark and thought they were channel cats.
got them home and i dont think they are.
the whiskers on these things are as long as they are.
thanks to anyone that can id it.

Looks like Bagrichthys macropterus (one of the Lancer species) from Thailand.

Could you shoot pic in more of a profile (not down-looking to the fish) pic?

isnt that how my pic is already?

If it was I wouldn't have asked for a profile shot. That pic is chooting downward. I'm interested in seeing a couple of areas more towards the bottom of the fish to help ID it.
