Found this blue fish with a knobby head in Hungry River in Pisgah gamelands near Hendersonville, NC.
We were a bit below the damn in a sandy pool with clear fast moving water and a small waterfall/rapids on one end. The fish was strikingly blue, with a sort of warty tan cap on it's head. It was hanging out under a massive boulder.
It looks like a catfish to me, but I don't know if they're usually found in turbulent water like this. I dont know much about fish id at all. Can anyone help me id? Or point me to better fish id resources than just googling it?
