They have 3 sharp, bony, mildly venemous spines on their dorsal and pectoral fins that can be hard to see to someone who doesn't know they're there, but they pack a mean punch if you get stung. They also are dirty and can lead to an infection, which this girl will most likely get.

I'm a city girl and all I know about catfish is that there are some in the big tanks at Cabela's. What is it that stabbed her and is that a common thing?

Cut the fin off so you dont have a 1-2# fish dangling on it and yanking it around






go to ER







Hit it with local







prep with betadine







make small cut with scalpel to enlarge wound tract







pull it out







irrigate the heck out of the wound







insert small drain, 1/4" penrose







broad spectrum antibiotic







pray it doesn't abscess and need to be opened up




cool scar and funny story, no matter what

The pain from a saltwater sailcat is easily 10x of a freshwater catfish. Took one to a thumb trying to get it off my hook using pliers beach fishing several years back. Thumb was spray blood everywhere when I got it out. All I had was a couple of paper towels to wrap it in and the worst damn throbbing pain you have ever felt localized to a tiny area. Sat on my hand to apply pressure and drove 80+ mph in my explorer for 40 minutes back to civilization. Called my wife and had her googling for a way to make the pain stop. Got to the inlaws house and she had a pot of hit water ready to go. Submerged my hand (and believe me it was hot), and the pain subsided almost instantly. Cleaned it up - never for infected. But damned if that spot where I got stabbed didn't calcify and hurt to the touch for 2 years before it finally went away. Any saltwater fisherman knew this video was going to turn into a shit show as soon as the video opened and you see a drunk broad slapping a catfish on her friend with a beach in the background.

Man, if I had friends that were stupid enough to willingly swing a hardhead at me like that, i would find better friends.  

Actually, i'm not sure which one is dumber, the one swinging the fish, or the one that willingly let it happen. That shit hurts.

I know, if I go over and look really hard at it, it will magically pull itself from her leg......

People are useless these days.

If someone falls over and starts spitting up blood, half their friends will laugh hysterically, and the other half will pull out their phones.......

All salt water rednecks know someone who has actually been through that.  It's easy enough to accidentally happen if you fish on the Gulf Coast.  But to do it on purpose, that is like playing with a rattlesnake.

I saw an obese hispanic kid about 13 punching one dangling from his line once. About the 5th punch it stuck to his fist.  He was screaming for his mama.

I'm not hating--I just thought it was ironic.

There are a ton of people, redneck or not around here that get stung ALL the time from handling catfish. Luckily I haven't had that experience yet...knock on wood...

Why the fuck would you do that to an animal anyway, kill it and eat it or let it go :|

Also yeah they stab the shit out of you. Don't use a net to take catfish out of an aquarium/pond either, I usually use a plastic strainer or measuring cup.

When I was a kid me and a buddy went fishing with my uncle. My buddy caught a sail cat my uncle asked him if he knew how to get it off he tells him ya done it a hundred times. He put his foot long ways on top of it to hold it down before he can even end down with the pliers he's jumping around on one foot with the fish stuck to the bottom of his jordans screaming. The fin went all the way through and into his foot he couldn't walk for a month. He was black and lived with his grandparents and they didn't like white people so after that they hated me.

I was thinking the same thing.  Seemed she was suffering from embarrassment more than anything.  I've never been stung by a saltwater cat, but the last freshwater one packed a bit of a punch.

Freaking sailcats. I was trying to get a little one off my hook and it got me. The fish couldn't have been more than 10" but that top spine wound hurt me for three hours. Thankfully no infection. I'll remember the hot water treatment though.

Come on down to FL and show us how it's done with a sailcat bubba.
