How do you hold a catfish?

[tntitans21399]

I went out and bought a cheap pair of gloves at Lowes. I got the pair that is kind of like mesh with the inside of the hand is rubber. I like these because you can slide your hand into them easilly. I then just grap them and try to push the fins back and hold them tight against the body. Then I can usually put my thump in their mouth to hold if open as I get the hook. I haven't had any problems with the gloves or the catfish fins, but I guess we'll have to see how they do over time.
