I am no cat guy, but I would agree. I was told it was a flat and to just pick it up, I did Yep it was grinding away at my fingers, until I managed to get my hand a bit deeper in it’s mouth. I have one other pic with it hanging straight down, and less of a grimace on my face

Those big channels have a lot of biting power! You need to be careful with them… big channels crush clams regularly.. they cant be any less durable than the bones in my fingers!
That is a BIG channel Dave and its nothing to be ashamed of. I would rather catch a channel that size than a flathead of the same size any day of the week! A flathead of that size wont turn anyones head, but a channel will turn everyones head(unless they are on the red).
Next time your fishing partner tells you to put your fingers in its mouth.. look and be sure it doesnt have a forked tail 1st!
