Yup, the channel tasted much better. Skinning the big guy was SO hard. Especially since it was 2 am and I was pretty drunk. He was still alive after I gutted him. It was only after I cut the head off that he finally stopped moving. Catfish won't die. I've heard people just cutting the filets then tossing the carcass back in the river only to watch the fish swim away.
Yep. Seen this happen before. It's incredible. How do you skin them? We normally cut around the fins and yank it off with plyers (pliers?). Having your entire skin ripped off while alive does not sound like fun.
