stupid question
OKay, I know this is a stupid question, but what part of the catfish can sting you? Just wondering because I saw a catfish come up to the shore of my pond during a feeding frenzy.
Thanx |

Re: stupid question
Smallfry, In the front side fins are sharp bones that will stick in your hand and will leave a stinging feeling. They don't actually sting you. P N J

Re: stupid question
oh, he means what part can poke you. like PNJ said, the front of side fins have bones. same as a bass or bream, just in a different location. but it doesnt sting you.

Re: stupid question
It may not sting you, but get one of those spines stuck in you and it is extremely painful. Whatever the fish has on it's spines can infect the wound, and it feels almost like a sting.

Re: stupid question
People commonly think that the whiskers are stingers, but they are not.

Re: stupid question
larger cat fish have blunted spines most over 15 pounds can really be a hand full to hang on to with one hand. so i use the out side spine to control the fish.

Re: stupid question
The front top fin of a brown bullhead does have some venom in it.
I imagine that would hurt. |

Re: stupid question
The bigger cats like blues, flatheads, and channels you can usually just stick your hand in.
