All of us know that have ever had a catfish fin us while we were trying to handle know it can be very painful. And we also know that the next day is sometimes worse than the time of the actual injury.
Well a couple of years ago Ron (my brother) and myself were out catfishing. I had ben stuck by a catfish fin while removeing it from the trotline we were working,and Ron told me he had heard that if you rub the spot where the catfish finned you on the belly of the catfish that it would not be as painful the next day. We looked at each other for a second and decide that it sure couldn't hurt anything to try it.
I know it sounds a little bit out there or at least thats what I thought,But after rubbing my hand on the belly of the catfish the next day there was not that tender pain that always seemed to be ther the the next day.
Since then I have done this any time I get stuck by a catfish no matter how small and the healing time has been shortened dramaticly.
Try it next time a catfish gets you and let me know how it works for you.

P.S. These catfish were caught last night at lake Lavon, The largest was a 10 pound blue catfish caught by Ron.
