Acually Rube, I did say they are prolific breeders, meaning they lay lots of eggs and produce many young. Walking catfish are an invasive exotic fish, and while they do go walking on dry land, the best way they are caught is in pools or ponds of water, with fishing nets.
I once went with friends who had been hired to clear out someones shallow fish pond. The walking catfish had eaten all the young small fish and killed their koi. The men entered the pond and stretched nets across the water letting the weighted side of the net to hit the bottom, then waded across the pond. This gathered all the catfish together where they were put into containers with lids. Men stood on the banks catching any that attempted to escape. These fish are amazing to see, slithering across dry land, but are a real problem to the areas of southern Florida.
