Catfish

I recently catfished for the first time. I must admit...it is an interesting experience. I've fished for quite some time now...and am used to constantly reeling in the line and casting back out. With catfishing, you have to just sit and wait, which, while nice, can also be very anti-climatic.

Probably the most interesting things I learned while catfishing? It is almost impossible to get a hook out of a catfish once snared. They swallow the dang things and they get stuck...which means they get their heads chopped off (not a fan of this) and can't get tossed back in like we normally do with fish. Did you know when you cut off a fish head, the fish keeps breathing even though it's dead? I can't say that was a fun thing to learn...
