No! A catfish's whiskers are not stingers! They are sensory organs which the fish uses to locate food and have nothing to do with defensive weapons. Do not cut them off, regardless of whether you keep the fish or release them. Just Sayin...RJS

I went to Public Schools. I never learned about the Poisonous or Stingers that these people keep mentioning.
Did you go to Private or some special school? Homeschooled by a Poisonous or Stinging wannabe Teacher?

Maybe an Uncle or a Grandpa told a kid to spook him on a night time fishing trip...like the boogie man thing.

CARL - explain yourself or we gonna be talkin sh*t behind your back. Why would you want to do such a thing even if it were possible? Would you remove the fangs or poison sacs from a rattlesnake and then let it go? Why? It's not gonna last very long with no way to provide itself with food. At least have enough grace to kill the thing, rather than mutilate it and let it go. You're beginning to irritate me CARL.

Carl, I know people who cut off the barb on a stingray so if someone steps on it they will not get stuck. But never heard of anyone stepping on a cat fish. My advice it to just put it back unharmed.

Well, Gordon, there is always a first. I was just a kid and to get bait, if we didn't dig earth worms, we had to sein stock tanks or creeks for minnows. Well, several of my relatives, my dad, and I were going fishing so we were seining this stock tank.
The banks were muddy and as I walked out to help, bare footed, i stepped on a veruy small catfish and it locked its fins between my big toe and the next one. It was wedged in and I had to push one fin further in to get the other one out of my toes. It was painful and a mess. But now you've heard of someone stepping on catfish. Just Sayin...RJS

That is a first for me. That had to hurt real bad Robert. I had one come off the hook while I was holding it chest high and its top barb went into my foot. Never fished barefooted again. I feel your pain.

Had an Uncle that was wearing boots and dropped one and the dorsal fin went right in the top of his foot.
He was hurting for a while.
