I am a Catfish afterall

I am a freshwater fish
Some of my kin have grown to ten feet
I am shrimpy compared to them
I stopped growing at six feet

I live in a place with lots of dinner
A lake that attracts worms, frogs, and rodents
Sometimes I get a duck
A duck tastes delightful!

I look fierce
With those two evil pretend canines hanging from my mouth
I am docile though
Unless you look like food
I am a catfish after all
