I've caught my share of catfish and bullheads. But, I was watching those
southerners noodling which for those that don't know is using your hands to pull them out of their hiding places. They seemed to have no regard for the barbs on the fishes dorsal fin or pectoral fins. Anything that I can find says that ALL catfish have barbs. I'd think those 20# or 30# ones would have some big barbs!!! But again, those people were holding them up against their torsos and such with no regard. So what's up with that? |

You just need to know how to hold them. In a sea cat, if I really want to grab one, I center the dorsal between the pointing and FU finger and hold them around the middle. Usually I prefer not to touch them and just use my blue fish dehooker. (a stainless car antenna with a hook on one end and a big wood handle on the other) and flip them off. Just be careful it doesn't flip off on your foot. BTDT You need to fish the fresh water lakes up north and catch the smaller catfish. The 1.5 to 3 pound ones are the best. I really can't see why anyone would want to eat a big old bottom feeding fish from a murky southern river. I absolutely agree. I've often wondered what they do with the damn things when they catch them. A big catfish tastes much like the mud they were caught from. BTDT...once. |

BTDT But these guys have huge catfish and one guy just rolled the thing up on his chest and everything. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOxt6r7HSNg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UIpO...eature=related I think that the bigger they get, the less chance they will buck and throw a spine in you. Most people who get spined by a catfish have it happen while they are flopping around on the line or they step on it on the deck. You generally have to do something dumb to get hit by a catfish or a stingray. (think Steve Erwin) BTW I know a guy who thought noodling grouper was cool until he grabbed a moray. But I'm telling you, they roll them all over themselves sometimes. |

The more they feed, the quicker rec.boats will fall into the black hole of cyberspace and disappear. |

Defending a troll, must be a professional courtesy...;) My opinion about Herring is well-known here. You're significantly lower on the evolutionary scale. I was re-reading the Sermon on the Mount the other day and it caused me to recall something moronic you've repeated here a number of times. You've claimed that there is no reason to follow the teachings of Jesus during your life, that it is enough to proclaim Jesus as your savior on the day you die, and that doing so will get you into heaven. I've always thought that was ignorant bull****. Jesus thinks it is, too: "Not everyone who says to Me, "Lord, Lord," will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, "Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?" And then I will declare to them, "I never knew you. Depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness." Now, I'm not a Christian, but as I have stated any number of times, I think Jesus was a cool dude with important teachings. My problem is with hypocritical Christians like you, those who proclaim themselves to be Christians but do not follow the teachings of their savior. You're not going to heaven, if there is one, asshole. You and yours will burn in hell, if there is one. Or, more likely, you'll just rot in the ground. |

Well, I didn't know you were just fooling around. In fact, I hadn't even looked at the author to see who made the post. I just read it. It sounded stupid, which it should have if you were just fooling around. Right?
Now cool it with the name cooling. |
