My best friend and I used to leave the house every Saturday morning at 03:30 and drive to Ozark Beach.  We were the first to arrive.  We used whole kernel corn soaked in balls of fire nectar.  We would always take a double limit home and be back to Hurley by 07:30 so my wife could fix fried trout for breakfast.  Those were good times.

Oddly enough I am thinking the corn kernels soaked in balls of fire nectar might make some good hush puppies.!

Those smallies look kinda short.

        The way they are cooked so you know Mr. Bee Brother. By the way I don't keep under length smallies when I eat them. Besides the eggs in the big ones are good fried! 🤣

Ha!  Well...You never know.  The MDC told me there have been reports of them in MO, although they are not native here.  Some pay-to-fish ponds near St Louis apparent have/had some, according to MDC.

I also checked iNaturalist, there are no reports for them in MO... 

Can I at least start an uproar over whether they might be invasive, and walk on land, and eat every other fish in every water they are/have ever been in?

From my experience white catfish are likely being displaced by channels and certainly blues. I would doubt that they could ever be considered as invasive. But uproar away 😉.

I used to tell my daughter that you can tell that it is a white catfish from a channel since it doesn't bite the crap out of your thumb when you lip one 🤣.
