A co-worker who fishes our local lakes every chance all year for bass, says he finds nice bass floating on top now and then with a catfish stuck in their throat, front fin spines jabbed through their throat, killing them. These bullhead catfish got some mighty sharp spines, sides and top. Which makes me wonder when I see people noodeling up those big cats, do they have fin spines too? They don't seem to, or those folks would get stabbed to death!
