Taking him out was the only way I could get a decent pic.

My lfs called him a stone catfish but I know that's not right

It looks a lot like a channel catfish, but I am not completely sure.

Almost like a blue channel cat huh?? Doubt it though, they really wouldn't be in an lfs.

I'm thinkin of bringing it back to the shop. He's eaten two fish already. He has grown way faster than I expected.

I would say stone caddy before reading the other posts. Classic river cat and they eat everything and anything.

My DD found a little guy in a ditch by our house years ago maybe 1 inch long and it grew fast and was 12 inches in like 1.5 years and ATE everything it could fit in his mouth!

They use them in hydroponic setups sometimes around here.

So basically a swimming garbage disposal..
