how to completely immobilize a catfish

[daveedka]

If you've ever fileted catfish you know that they do not die easily, and if they aren't dead when you clean them they will flop and make a mess (usually on your shirt). Not to mention that some of us really don't gain any enjoyment out of skinning or fileting a live animal. I for one would just as soon have the fish numb, dead and wiggle free when I go to work. We learned a trick from cajun guide that is amazingly easy and effective. You need a knife and a throttle cable off of a lawn mower, a choke cable or some similar spring steel cable. The rest is simple, just watch the video for details.

And I thought that I knew all the tricks...All the clips were good...Could hear the wind in the one..

Now Dee that might work on the fish you catch but ours are just to big
to have their tails twisted.

Sorta sounded like from the fire into a hot frying pan..

I bet Dee just misspelled tail. I hear she is real good at twisting a tale.

Oh Larry, if only you could have seen the look on my face when I read that.
I have to give you one point though, that was indeed very good.
