It was funny, because when theu had the guys do it, they told them after the "instructors" pulled out a big cat that it was "catch and release", which could only lead me to believe that the segment was staged and that the fish had already been caught and released numerous times beforehand, which would tire it out and make it much easier to handle. Watch how "active",...err I mean "docile" the catfish is while they are holding it.
Looks pretty staged, to say the least. I even suspect they electroshocked the fish.
On a more real note, Sauerkraut and I watched "Heavy", an old bonefish guide in the S Andros, reach into a mangrove bush, feel around awhile, and come out with a 3-4 lb mangrove snapper for his dinner. The single most impressive fishing trick I've ever seen. I begged him to show me how, but he insisted my hands weren't tough enough and I'd hurt myself trying. Probably right.
The guy also had cataracts as dense as I've ever seen, yet he could still spot bonefish faster than anyone else, just through his peripheral vision.
As tough as he was, he took one look at Sauerkraut in his surgical mask get up and backed away fast.....he thought he had some sort of communicable disease. Probably right again.

Watched a show on it once and the guy was saying that a good size cat can twist and pitch a fit enough to break your hand or arm. Gotta yank'em out quick
"If you're arguing with an idiot, make sure he isn't doing the same thing."
Did you see the one where the guy reaches into a undercut hole along a river bank and grabbed a beaver not a catfish! The beaver won, he had bite marks on his hand, arm and stomach. Ouch!!!
Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.
