I have and it hurts like hell The trouble I had was getting that dam fish to let go of my finger. Needed some minor repairs to my finger (paper towel and black tape) but managed to release the fish.
I watch the river monsters when ever I get a chance great show

I have however been finned by a catfish.
The two pectoral fins and dorsal fin have long, hooked spines that dig into skin, excreting venom that may produce extreme pain, necrosis and vasoconstriction (Tightening of the blood vessels). The vasoconstriction is present to slow down the speed at which the venom moves, thus enabling it to be more concentrated and potent. Also, catfish fins house bacteria, and a high risk of infection is present.

I have been bit by many a pike over the years. Worse injury. Like a thousand paper cuts and it tends to get red and infected if not cleaned...really, really well.

i tossed a pike at my buddie and it bit his arm not hard but drew blood

[pikester]

I get tore up by a pike just about every trip because I have this stupid urge to treat the fish more carefully than I treat myself I think haha! At any rate even though it hurts a lot & I could stand to hang onto all my blood I somehow feel I deserve sort of like Karma for sticking them with hooks lol.

[Albertafisher]

Yeah, I've been bit about 3 times haha

[lifesaflyin]

one bugger got my whole thumb. clamped down and flopped around. my thumb was shredded and it did not stop bleeding all day.

[slough shark]

yeah I have been bit a few times on the hand taking the hook out after forgetting the pliers. I think the wierdest time that I was bitten by a pike I was landing a pike when I was in a canoe for a friend, it jumped out of the water, bit me on the knee and then jumped back into the water.
