Don’t let a Hardhead Catfish ruin your day at the beach! ⚠️
Hardhead catfish are a common catch in the surf, but those venomous spines are no joke. In this video, I demonstrate the safest way to handle and dehook these "stingarees" using a simple dehooking tool, ensuring you keep your hands far away from the danger zone.
What you’ll learn:
✅ Why they’re dangerous: A quick look at the venomous spines on the pectoral and dorsal fins.
✅ The Dehooker Trick: How to use a T-handle dehooker to pop the hook out without ever touching the fish.
✅ Safety Tip: Why you should always avoid "flipping" these fish manually if you aren't experienced.
Handling these fish correctly is essential for any saltwater angler. If you’ve ever had a close call with a Hardhead, let me know in the comments!
