When I was a boy, my friend and I would fish in some brackish waters near Pensacola, FL. We usually would catch croakers. Sometimes, we caught a catfish. Rather than risk getting stung by the barbed fins, we would cut the head off and use it and the body as bait. Those fins can hurt!

"In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed. But they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

I don't eat fish. I like the act of fishing. Being finned and stung takes a little of the pleasure out of it.

Bullheads and Channel cats (the two smallest and most commonly caught catfish in America) have poisonous barbs at the tips of their pectoral fins. The poison isn't strong enough to do anything but cause pain in a human, but stings do hurt like hell. As such, you have to be careful when handling a landed catfish. Even so, I wouldn't call catfish dangerous. Sloww is just a woman...Holy crap! Catfish can be poisonous? WTF? Damn. You gotta be bs'ing me. I thought the worst than can happen is that you cut your hands on their gills...
