I was fishing on the CT. river a couple of days ago and my dad caught a catfish. I didn't know what the legal limit was so we put it back. When I got home I looked in the CT. Anglers Guide and could not find any info. on legal size or creel limits. Does anyone know what they are?
Thanks, Mike.

Hard to imagine catfish being considered a "protected" or "gamefish" species anywhere, as they breed and thrive so wonderfully.

Well, I got inspired to do some searching and apparenty CT has no size, bag or possession limits on catfish. Indicates to me that catfishing is not a big deal in CT.
