Those all look like channel cats if i am not mistaken. But channel and whitecatfish look so much alkike its hardto tell the diffence without looking at the tail.

Any place to catch catfish abouve the hartford line?

If i was going to target channel cats exclusively I would hit the CT river, there are a few guys already fishing them as the target species Wink

They put up a great fight !

One difference as for color with whites and channels is the bottom. White catfish have a bright white bottom like the cats in the pics. Channel cats are more on the off white or very light grey color on the bottom.

If you fish around a particular bridge crossing over Lillinonah you will be there. I've usually had the best luck with cats when the water is low.
