How to handle a catfish?

[Springbuck]

Yeah, they aren't likely to bite anything off, but they chomp down hard, then flip and struggle a bit, you're gonna lose a layer[bobsurprised]

I kept accidentally snagging 3" baby bullheads that were swimming in big cloudy schools once while casting for wb in the Jordan below the pumps. I dunno how they have ANY predators at all. Their spines were so sharp they put surgical instruments to shame..like little sharpened leather sewing needles or something...
