The easiest way I have found to clean catfish is to hang them about head high with a large hook like a hay hook over a garbage can. with a sharp knife cut a full circle around them just behind the head. Get a good pair of pliers and get the skin started. You can usually pull the skin off in one hard pull when you get started. Gut the fish and remove to a cutting board where you will either chop off the head or fillet! Once you get the hang of it you can do it pretty fast.
