    They have "whiskers" and taste delicious when battered and fried.

  • I'm a survivor, so I find that kind of catfishing particularly heinous. If anyone has an questions about my story, read my January blog, "It's probably nothing ...."

    If it has whiskers, don't touch them. If you touch them and get stung, you've found a catfish.

    pro-tip: if you want to put spots on a catfish, try using a permanent marker or paint.

    I'd like to read it. I don't know how to find people's blogs on here...:ohwell: Could someone explain that to me. And/or share the link here, or in a pm to me.

    Thank you! :flowerforyou:

    Edit: I also find any catfishing intended to deceive based on issues that impact real people to be heinous.

    Great tip! I always wondered how to prevent it from just washing off in the water.

  • One you lock the target,
    Two you bait the line,
    Three you slowly spread the net
    And four you cat the fish.

    Serious answer: some are harder to spot than others. Google is truly amazing.
