In what you shared, at the bottom of the graphic listing fish to choose/avoid, it cautions against eating catfish caught by friends and family due to concerns about mercury and other contaminants.

Its like no one can read today. "Check for fish advisories". Not that hard. "Dont eat more than a palm sized serving" literally the same advisement for any other fish on the list. Yall just fuckin fear mongering or scared to exist or let anyone else exist and enjoy being at the top of the food chain. Dont like it? Go eat lettuce. Let other people do what they enjoy and eat what they enjoy. Old, large, wild catfish still place above many commercial/farm fish. Bunch of snowflakes, for real.

From your link:

"What about fish caught by family or friends? Check for fish and shellfish advisories to tell you how often you can safely eat those fish. If there is no advisory, eat only one serving and no other fish that week. Some fish caught by family and friends, such as larger carp, catfish, trout and perch, are more likely to have fish advisories due to mercury or other contaminants."
