I've seen that done, but it's not necessary. I kill them first before any cutting or skinning.

i imagine that catfish must be at least 50 years old without looking it up.

Because of their bone structure, catfish arent fillade but rather cut into steaks. We had a catfish pond back home and I have caught 30 and 40 pounders. I used to eat them alot when I was growing up poor.
I've got some fillets in my freezer right now. Maybe it depends on the particular type of catfish.
Your prolly right. I was trying to remember back some 25-30 years.
