Very nice! Nothing like a good feed of nice fresh fish. Do you have to be careful when you handle the catfish? Our freshwater catfish are pretty nasty critters, they have some nasty spikes on thier dorsal and pectoral fins, that can cause you some horrible pain if you get spiked with them.

Yes they can spike you good if you do not Respect them

Hey Marine....I wonder if you had heard of this. I just heard of it a couple months ago.

Drop pan fish in a bowl of vinegar for a couple minutes. The scales will just wipe off with a paper towel. Works better on the smaller fish but also on all of them, so I hear, and the vinegar does not affect the taste after they cooked.

Hahaha. This is why I use barbless hooks, if I fish in areas where catfish live. It's a lot easier to get the hook out and put them back in the water, where they can't spike you!

I have never heard of that Lady Hobbs,I only Fillet fish, I Hate messing with any Bones in a fish!
