Answers:
The best way to gut a catfish is to avoid cutting any of the internal organs. If you take a close look at the [side] fins of the catfish, these are the fins on the side of the fish near the gills, you will see that a bone protrudes from the fin towards the rear of the fish. Now, draw an imaginary line from the end of that bone to the most forward point on the bottom of the catfish's head where the skin is soft. Cut down this line on both sides of the fish until the cuts meet under the head. Now carefully cut the skin from the center underside of the fish to the anus, taking care to only cut skin and not anything else. If you have done this right, the body cavity can be opened and all the entrails will be intact.
(I realize this is a bit graphic, but it serves a purpose)
Grab the fish from behind the [side] fins and flip it over so that its innards are essentially hanging down. (They will not really hang down per say) Now go ahead and remove the entrails by starting from the anus and cleaning out the body cavity as you move towards the head.
While some people just cut off the catfish head and throw out the entrails with it, this is not recommended as you may need something to hold on to when you try to skin the beastie.
The idea here is to remove as much of the fishes internals as possible without breaking anything. A fish's gut can contain some nasty bacteria and toxins, and if you disturb parts of the digestive system you may see some orangish-yellow fluid seeping out - this is the bile of the fish and it *can* make the fish taste a bit odd. Note that in this discussion I use the term fish - not catfish. Generally it is a good rule to clean fish without disturbing the innards whenever possible. You may find that fish purchased at the store may not taste as well as the same fish caught by you in the same area. This is not so much due to the time between when the fish was captured and you ate it, but is generally the result of quick cleaning by some teenage store clerk which affects the taste of the meat.

You will need a pair of catfish skinners and a pair of gloves (so you don't get finned by the catfish). Start by clipping off all fins except the tail fin and make a cut in the skin right above the head of the fish. Then grab the fish and then pull the skin off with the skinners. Then cut the head off. Cut the underside of the stomach and remove the guts and rinse then you are done.
