Why is Pond Raised Catfish not even comparable River caught?

I mean I have went to Dowds and Catfish to me was nasty. 

Lots put down Trout from Bennett. I don't fish the park but have caught Trout in the river. To me and my wife we haven't had bad Trout unless someone bakes it whole with aluminum over it then it is just nasty.  Yes we ate plenty Trout in the mountains.

Fish that eat their natural food are much better tasting than any farm raised fish fed purina fish chow.  Fresh water or salt water.  Farmed oysters are fine though, they don't get fed anything artificial, just provided a good substrate to live on in what is normally a great place for oysters to live.

We quit feeding some Catfish and they really slimmed down. Big time. 

Put bunch if Hybrid Bluegill in there they really grew.

I like fishing for them in the Lindley Creek.

The best catfish I've ever had were corn fed.  

The best catfish I've ever had didn't know what corn was.  Best catfish there is = belly meat from a big flathead.  That and cheeks.

Flathead are good, for sure, but the only way to specifically target them is currently illegal.

I’ve caught a handful the past few years on cranks.  I never really thought about keeping one to eat.

Back when we used to spearfish on Bull we quit shooting the channels in the summer because they tasted so bad. Ive had plenty of catfish other times of the year and they tasted good. I did some research and it said it was because of the algae and stuff they ingested in the summer.  Flat heads were always good but they also mainly eat live things
