I can't tell from the picture. Channels will have a rounded anal fin with up to 30 rays, while blues will have an straight anal fin with square edges and more than 30 rays.

It is a blue. Like stated above, look at the anal fin for good id. On a channel it will be rounded, on a blue it will be straight. Nice fish btw, congrats. Did you get a weight?
