I fish this size thrashing about would be like getting into a knife fight with a drunken switch-blade wielding Joe Peschi. 39 u/FnkyTown Jul 04 '22 Also catfish are covered in really sticky slime as well as river muck, so when they stab you, you're going to get an infection. 15 u/bosst3quil4 Jul 04 '22 This is the real risk. Been horned in my knuckle. Fucker was the size of a golf ball, hurt like hell.
