$Officials warn about invasive Flathead Catfish that can grow to be 100 pounds$

Wildlife officials in Delaware are alerting residents of an invasive fish found in its waters.

It's called the Flathead Catfish. Several were recently discovered in Lums Pond.

Steiger says one can grow to be 100 pounds
