I've caught a lot of catfish in my years, but now for the first time I have a live-well to put em in. Question is: What's the best way to get em out? I hope this question isn't too silly...

Stick your hands in there and hope for the best ?! Lol

LMAO!!!!! Just drain the water out if you can and reach in there and get em with some team catfish fish grips or sumpin!!!!!

Some guys clip the spines before throwing em in the livewell. Some guys use a dip net. Some throw em on ice and others throw em in a box with no ice. Other guys will tell you to quit being a sissy! I only keep a few here and there so I drain my well at lake and remove the fish back at the casa.

Just don't forget to get em out when you get home! Lol

Now I realize clipping them is a very good way to go but I never thought of doing it before. I have been stung more than my share of times by catfish. My usual method is putting them on ice as soon as I catch them. The iced fish are easy to clean and also it seems that the ice makes the fish have less blood in the fillet.

Put them in an ice chest lol. Or cowboy up.

Don't worry about a livewell unless your in a tourney and gonna let them go. Those suckers last most of a day out of water. If real hot throw a bottle of ice on them

Yep in a tourney is the only time I keep them alive, so for most of the year if I keep anything it goes on ice in the cooler. My live well is used mostly for bait.

We clip the spines and chunk them in a cooler with ice. It's so easy.
