Catfish in The New River near me.
My friend just bought a house and property that adjoins this place on the river.
Look up Eggleston, VA. on Google maps. He owns a piece of the cliffs above the river seen at the beginning of the video. The river makes a 180 degree bend here.

Coincidentally I had recently looked at this area on google earth, while looking for the Audie Murphy airplane crash and it is ~20 miles as the crow flies NE of your friends place.
What kind of catfish are those?

"What kind of catfish are those?"
The best eating of the catfish family, flatheads. Actually considered a game fish in some places, they are not bottom feeders as a rule.

dpmule, I've been to the Audie Murphy crash site and memorial. All kinds of memorabilia is left there. The Forest Service collects it when it gets too much and stores it at their facility in nearby Blacksburg, Virginia.

i used to fish the lower New River a lot on the WVa side of the mountain. the rafters ruined it for me. when i was a teenager i could hike to the river and fish for three days and never see another person, now i hear there are thousands.
