I've observed schooling catfish feeding along a shad-infested reservoir shoreline during a couple of Indiana autumns. Used to assume that the shad were "balled up" then due solely to white bass or largemouth bass predation. Was somewhat surprised to recognize dark profiles of catfish in clearer water. Possibly, they were flathead catfish which are voracious predators. Though, channel catfish are much more abundant there.

Interesting video btw. Pigeons are incredibly stupid birds.

HELL yeah! That is stinkin cool..... I have caught a lot of cats on larger minnow fly patterns, small leeches bumped along the rocks, nymphs, and my buddy has caught them on little dry flies... as well as jigging spoons through the ice! They are a heck of a predator.

Those are Wels Catfish and I think this video came from somewhere in Europe, possibly Italy. The catfish there are non native so scientist believe that this is a learned behavior as the Wels Catfish grows large and the waters they are living in now don't have large enough prey species in abundance which caused them to seek out other type of prey and the pigeons regularly gather there for water so the catfish naturally over time decided to put them on the menu so to speak.
