Catfish are not dangerous to human beings if you know how to do the correct procedures when handeling the catfish. The best way to unhook a catfish is to pick it up with your fingers around the frond fins holding it from the belly.
Yes, there maybe some cases where a catfish won't eat a catfish oof it's ownspecies (like a channel cat not eating a channel cat) but I'm sure all of them will eat smaller different catfish (Yellowhead eating a bullhead)
Channel Catfishes average weight as an adult is 4.4 lbs
