How do you hold a catfish?

[patrickacox]

I love to fish for catfish, but don't really know how to handle them once I pull them out of the water. I usually use a towel to hold them. They can still fin you through the towel though. The cuts you get from a catfish hurt like crazy.<br><br>Can someone give me some tips on how to hold a catfish without getting finned?<br>Thanks<br><br>
