Agressive Catfish?

[Hobeze]

Size aside are catfish aggressive? A friends of mine who i would classify as experienced, seems to paint them as vicious?

Thanks Paul,

He's taking me out next week on the boat and said that he's going to let me hall in the catfish and that i must be careful or they will take the arm off me. lol he must be winding me up more than his fishing reel :-)

i think what he is referring to is the way they fight in the water,they don't know when to give in.
