Don't really care for catfish. My uncle could skin them real fast.
He would hold a catfish head up, and somehow with his fingers
playing on the nerves make them open/close their mouths and blink
their eyes. He probably should have been an anatomist, or whatever.
But he didn't have time for school.
Too busy catching catfish.

Don't care for catfish taste either. The poster said they throw them
back. Said the big ones are about 20 years old.

I did try fixing one out of the Potomac. It tasted like rancid grease or
something worse. Almost threw up. And I like collard greens, so it's not a
weak stomach!

Pritchett's Kitchen, Columbus, GA. All the catfish, hushpuppies, french
fries and cole slaw you could eat for $5.95. Of course this was back in
1970, so it may be out of business. But it had the best catfish I've ever
had.

I-75, Live Oak Fl. Sheffield's Catfish House. It's a truck stop, the
best catfish in the world!!
You'll see neon colored signs advertising it. It's a dump, but stop
there if you like catfish, and you'll stop again. I plan it so that
everytime I go through there, it's eating time!

You can't really throw them back, as they always swallow the hook.
All you can do is cut the line, but you can't expect them to live.

Best to find someone that wants them and give them away.

Are you referring specificially to "Potomac catfish" and hook
swallowing? I don't fish in the Potomac, but when I fished in St.
Augustine Inlet in Florida, I used to catch lots of catfish on circle
hooks and chunk fish bait, and most of them were hooked in the corner of
the mouth, as they were supposed to be hooked, and were easy to unhook,
especially if you crimped down the hook's barb.

I don't know what it is like now, but that inlet was one of the greatest
fishing locales I ever encountered in Florida, and not just the
fast-flowing inlet itself, but just about everywhere in the immediate
vicinity.

Bullheads and channel cats caught on nightcrawlers, in an Iowa lake.
Maybe I need different bait and hooks.
