They just have to be dead when you take them from the body of water where you caught them. Most people favor an old aluminum baseball bat, I carry a folding shovel.

VolFan Posted October 1, 2022 Posted October 1, 2022 I always thought the blue cats in the Potomac were worse than the snakeheads. Those blues would slims up three feet of line and crush any hooks. Both really good eating though! Quote

When catfish slime dries it’s like Elmer’s glue mixed with cement. Although snakeheads produce much more slime and it’s much more stinky, it is easy to clean and it dissolves on carpet when it dries.

Fun to catch, great to eat but a real mess to catch. They destroy lures, have rows of teeth and are the slimiest thing that swims. I come down your way to fish tidal bass a couple of times a season. Have yet to ever catch one. Can’t say that I’m trying to target or catch one but it may eventually happen. Was down that way a few weeks ago and the owner at the sports shop was telling me that locals are really starting to target them and they are becoming a common place fish to go after. They are not on any bucket list of mine but hope to have a hook up some day. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted October 2, 2022 Super User Posted October 2, 2022 I caught one several years ago and hope it is my last. Quote
