How do you cook a big catfish?

[zhitoman]

With all those talks about catfish I decided to give it a try. So tonight i went to a well known lake in Monmouth county. I had 3 catfish rods, the bait of choice was chicken hearts. I was hoping to catch some bullheads, or small channels. Spent about 5 hours there with no results. Then when it was already after 9, I was lucky enough to get a 18 lb channel catfish. I am still shaking lol. So how should I cook it?
