Too late for kudzu it’s all over the south, even here in Tennessee along with wild rose bushes introduced by the Roosevelt administration.
Don’t know about walking catfish but we got Asian carp in the rivers.
Once I saw a local Knoxville tv show where an old-timer was interviewed. He told the different ways they ate kudzu. I wish I had paid more attention.

Wild rose is known pest, native of Europe, where it is fought forever.
But some scientist liked that it created bushes where birds can hide.
So they brought it to the US and propagandized it to farmers.
Now it is messing up US forests and meadows!
Those scientists!
