Nice catch ! thanks for the photos
Took my son to Barkley Dam and we caught a bucket of skipjack. My son was catching them (2 at a time) and having a blast.
Me and best friend took those skipjack to the Ohio River and caught a nice bunch of channels and bluecats. Fun trip!

do you fillet a catfish basicely like any other? never have tried to do this
good eatin right there and looks like ur boy was havin as much if not more fun than u where
If you can't fish with the big boys, keep it on the trailor
Some of them catfish are probably big enough to cut into steaks. Catfish on a charcoal grill sure are good. Congratulations on the mess of fish. Sometimes catching bait can be as much fun as the main event.
I like to hang them from a hook on a small chain. Take my fish skinners and get a bite of the skin on the bone right below the side fins. Peel the skin down and over the tail on both sides. You will have to pull up on the triangle of skin left on the belly. Take a sharp knife and cut along the sides of the long anal fin. Take the fish skinners and pull the fin off. Now take the knife and cut just below the head and under the side fin bones all the way around the fish. Slice the belly meat from the vent up to your last cut. Now take your hands and twist the fishes head from the body severing the spine. Clean out the guts and voila a whole, skinless, headless fish. Now you can take and fillet the meat from the bones. For larger fish I fillet them after skinning, smaller fish I leave whole with the tail on. Fried catfish tail is crispy like a tater chip.
