Sorry. Couldn’t find a photo.
I haven’t fished in a long time, but one thing I remember using for skinning catfish was something that looked like a pair of pliers, but the “bite” of the pliers was pretty narrow and broad (think of it closing like a giant pair of tweezers). Also it could be used for holding the tail of a fish that needed scaling.
Does it look like any of these?
I’m pretty sure you’re talking about a sheet metal clamp, since I’ve used one like that for the purposes you describe.
That’s pretty close, just that the ones I had didn’t have vise-grip handles.
Man you’re picky. Ok, how about sheet metal pliers?
Slight tangent:
I had a pair like this once.
(from Johnny’s list)
I’m not a fisherman, so I couldn’t figure out what was so special about the cool parallel jaw action they have. Any fishermen can enlighten me on this?
Catfish skinners…these are apparently the deluxe style with no-slip rubber-coated handles.

Thank you! It should have been obvious.
