I like fish but it's hard for me to eat channel cat just because half the time I eat it I gag because i feel like I can taste the water it was swimming in. Anyway to get rid of that taste?

You can bleed them, by hanging them up and cutting off the tail before you start skinning.
That said, we only do that with big blues and flat heads.

Cut out all bloodline and fat when you clean them even if you aren't going out eat them right away and want to freeze them
Once you get a piece of fat or bloodline, it will turn you on catfish.

This. Trim any fat. Rinse in water until run clear.

Filet them, cut out the blood line, soak in ice water overnight.

I notice more of an off taste in pond raised than wild caught. The cats we catch out of the Landmass river taste clean as can be..

Absolutely, pond raised has been eating dog food. There is a reason why they stop feeding them a few weeks before they seine them on a fish farm.

Eat smaller cat fish and trim all yellow off the meat.

You have to trim them up good.

Catch them at Albertsons.

as the other say, that fishy taste is fat that you are tasting. try to get smaller fish and be sure to trim them very well and it will be minimized. I had some large fillets a while back and there was a full 1/4" of fat over the whole outside of the fillet.
just so ya know, that fishy taste also indicates that the healthy elements of the fish are present.

I am surprised to hear that about channel cats. The ones in lakes don't typically get big enough ( >10 lbs) where I thought this would be a problem.I thought it was more of a blue cat.

Don't get too worked up about it. This board can't identify a rat snake most of the time. OP might be talking about gaspergoo
