seriously though the larger one are easier to grab hold of than the smaller one. You can grip has mouth like a largemouth but like I said if he is to small you'll have to wrap your hand around him with his top barb between your middle finger and ring finger and tuck your other fingers behind the barbs on the side. grip tight though.
^this.

and don't be scared if he gets you...yea it hurts but it'll heal..just **** on the wound to get the venom out and spit it on the ground. driving a 4/0 gamakatsu through your thumb like i did this weekend hurts hella worse that a catfish barb. just gotta man up.
