Catfish; classify those in the Mississippi River as a game fish and require certain daily harvest and length limits for.

This bill classifies wild catfish caught in the Mississippi River (including channel, blue, flathead, and bullhead species) as game fish under Mississippi law. It requires the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks to establish daily harvest limits (max one catfish over 34 inches per day) and length restrictions for these fish. The rules apply to both recreational and commercial harvesters of wild river catfish but explicitly exclude farm-raised catfish. The law directs the department to create specific regulations for these protections.
