I've caught tons and tons of catfish so I know they have some pretty wicked stickers I've been poked in my hands and arms several times... it hurts!! But this is a first!! So I got a catfish yesterday, dropped my pliers in the lake as I was wading waist deep, I held the cat as I tried to get my team catfish circle hook out.... the fish started thrashing and the side fin punctured my stomach!! I pulled the fish as hard as I dared the fin wouldnt come out, my friend ran over and pulled so hard he pulled me over almost, so we cut the fin off and went to the emergency room! There was about 10 people that came into the room to see the first time of a catfish fin in someone at the hospital, they did surgery and removed it, pictures are bloody so dont look if your squeamish!! I'm good just sore, be back on the water in no time!!
