It is not venomous but its spines can hurt you. Clarius batrachus has spines and they stung me while I was picking them up in the paddy field during rainy season.

Yes venemous animals can kill you, but a catfish cannot. They do have spines on them which have poison, but it is more to prevent other fish from eating them, and not strong enough to seriously harm a person. It does sting though.

I hope catfish isn't venomous because we catch them in our lakes and rivers and eat them?

No, but they can look ominous at 500-800 lbs.
A diver went down to inspect a dam in Austin, TX.
That's what he encountered, and it just hovered around him.
He refused to go back down.
What the hey, that bugger can swallow even if he doesn't bite.
