I don't know, but it hurts. I once stepped on one to de-hook it and it raised its spine just as I was putting my foot down and it went right thru my sneaker. My foot was the size of a football for 2 days.

My worst stings were from real small cats and stingrays. A small stingray stung me in the hand when i was about 15 and my hand sweeled up like a football. I soaked my hand in the hottest water that would come from the bathroom sink for 30 mins. The big cats dont seem to bother me to much with the swelling just pain at the wound site. I steped on a catfish spine at the beach in Panama city when i was about 10. I got the blood posining line going the side of my leg and was in th emergency room in the middle of the night. I couldent go fishing the next day cause of it. I was so mad.

i personnally hate catfish there saltwaters fishrats is what i think they eat anything and there a nuisance. you now once you got one of those on your line all that gets slimed and other fish wont touch it. i got stabbed once didnt know what i was doin piked it up and the thing wiggled and fell on my other hand its fin went deep in my my hand it swelled up hurt so bad i couldnt even get the slime of my hand i kicked that sucker back in the water. then at school the next day some kid had the nerv to say catfish cant stab you. i didnt fish for to weeks and if i caught a catfish i would jst cut the line. you know they talk to you they make weird grunting sounds,

I RECENTLY HEARD ON BILL MURRAY’S SHOW "HOOKED ON FISHING" THAT IF YOU RUN HOT WATER OVER THE WOUND IT WILL REDUCE THE PAIN. NOW, HOT WATER WHEN YOUR OUT ON YOUR BOAT IS QUESTIONABLE, HOWEVER, THEY OFFERED A GOOD SUGGESTION........ USE THE WATER EXHAUST FROM YOUR ENGINE!! THEY ALSO MENTIONED THAT IF YOU USE THE SLIME OFF THE CATFISH'S BODY & RUB IT ON YOUR WOUND IT WILL KILL THE PAIN. NOW, I'VE BEEN STUCK A FEW TIMES IN MY LIFE & CANT ATTEST TO THE SLIME THEORY BUT THE HOT WATER DOES HELP! JUST BE CAREFUL THAT YOU DON’T RIP THE BARB OUT OF YOU IF ITS STUCK IN THERE GOOD. ANYHOW, THATS MY 2 CENTS WORTH!! TIGHT LINES ALL!!

I remember one time this Topic came up, and bein the nice guy I am, I suugested shovin yer hand in the cooler. (werk's fer us)
Next thing I knew I got hit with a whole plethora of reasons why yer NOT supposed to do that! LOL
All's I know is when sumpthin BURNS, it's hard to beat freezin cold water to ease the freakin pain a bit!
(And last time I checked I still had 2 hands and 10 fingers)
Of course when you DO get home nothin beats good old common sense first aid.
Beast thing to do is hold that sucker up in the air with yer leader, clip the line, and tie another dang hook on! A hook is cheap... Pain sucks.
(or do like Jester said, and clip the little suckers fins off, and throw him in yer livewell 4 later.)

Oh yeah I seen on Capt. Bill Murrays Survivor Show once if ya peed on it it would help to.
I ain't been stung since the last time I got stung, and i honestly could'nt tell y'all when that was! (And I'll bet ya my Harrington, it won't ever happen again!)
But cheap hooks, and cut the freakin line girlz! LMFAO!
