Robbyn and I were just at the pond today. she caught one of the 6 inch babies we put in last month caught on a bluegill rig. The bigger catfish from last year are over 3lbs now. I expect them to grow 1.5 -2 lbs each year. Yay fer fishin
Catfish have a "horn" on each side and one on the top.I grab and hold them in a way that the horn can't "poke" me. but i still get poked from time to time. The "PH Ballance" of the catfish slime can cause a sting feeling that kinda burns a bit. Not to worry it only hurts for a moment.
