What kind of catfish has black dots?

This species is widely distributed in New Mexico because it has adapted well to life in reservoirs. Young channel catfish are silvery blue-gray with black spots and a forked tail. Once they reach maturity, at about 12 inches, their coloration darkens markedly and their spots diminish. Although channel cats prefer clear, slow-moving water, they're highly tolerant of turbid water. They can grow to over 30 inches, though 12 to 16-inchers are more common catches in New Mexico waters.

How do you touch a catfish to remove a hook?

Very carefully! Seriously, I remember seeing people wearing gloves to hold the catfish, while another person removes the hook.

How your deal with hook removal depends on the size of the of the catfish caught. For small to moderate sized catfish put the catfish on the ground (or a non-slide surface on the boats). There are four things to be careful of when dealing with a catfish. The two pectoral spines (the front two fins have spines), the dorsal spine (the fin on top has a spine) and the hook. You can hold the catfish by the belly with the thumb and the forefinger behind each of the pectoral spines. Holding it by the belly just means you have to worry less about the dorsal spine. You can hold it the same way from the top, there is plenty of room for you hand in front of the dorsal spine. I would hold the catfish with my non-dominant hand (left hand if you are right handed) so you can use a set of pliers to remove the your dominant had (right hand if you are right handed). The moth of a catfish is fleshy and hooks tend to get set very well. If the hook is set deeply or difficult to remove you may have to cut your line and release the fish with the hook.

Catfish are strong but small to moderate catfish are easy to control with a firm grip. Large catfish are another kettle of fish and may require the assistance of another person.

Rubberized gloves can be useful in controlling the catfish. A hemostat and needle-nose pliers are useful for the hook removal. ?You may also want to carry bolt cutters.

Are catfish whiskers poison?

I do not know of any catfish species that have poisonous whiskers. The whiskers are for feeling and tasting stuff on the bottom of the lake, pond or ocean. However, most catfish do have spines on dorsal (top) and side fins. It is possible to hold a catfish without getting stabbed by one of these sharp fins. If a catfish does happen to fin you and break skin, make sure you wash the wound thoroughly, especially if the catfish was a freshwater variety. If it is a saltwater catfish and you get finned by one, though it may hurt, wash your wound with ocean water.

If the wound from a fin is deep, go to the ER and have them take a look to make sure the catfish did not injure any important parts of your body.

How long do catfish carry their babies?

They don't carry their young. Catfish, like most fish, lay eggs that are fertilized outside the body.

Catfish males, however, make a nest, and watch over a fertilized clutch of eggs for their 6 to 10 days of incubation, deterring predators and stirring the water to improve oxygen going to the eggs. After the eggs hatch, he will continue to watch over the hatchlings for several days until they swim away.
