Maybe. I've caught catfish from the same lake that tasted different that
way. There were three species in the lakes I used to fish. White,
channel and yellow bullhead (mudcat). My wife swears they all tasted
muddy, but I think they all tasted like catfish. I quit fishing for them
thirty years ago. I like them but she doesn't. Game over.
