Vicegrips
I have a pair of these and they work well. Haven't used them in a long time. Dang, I need to go fishing soon!
As I recall, dipping the catfish in boiling water for a few seconds helps removal.
Thats is what I have been using but the slime gets in there and they will not grip.
then buy new vicegrips where the teeth on the jaws are not worn
I am just questing you do not catch a lot of catfish the slime gets in the grooves of the pliers and will not hold the skin. But other than that you give alot of good advice.
Not going to lie..,not big on catfish. However my vicegrip teeth do have bite. As soon as they wear a bit, I repurpose them into a custom tool
Yep, for some reason a lot of people don't like eating catfish. Some say because it eats off the bottom. I don't get that reasoning. I personally love it. Love the texture and the taste. To each his own. I won't begrudge anyone for not liking certain "foods". More for me!
