Noodling?
I could not help but comment on this article I read in Friday’s USA Today newspaper. It was about fishing tournaments and one of them really caught my attention; not because I would want to participate, but just the opposite, it is something I can’t imagine ever participating in!
It seems that “noodling” is what they call catching catfish with your hands. You walk along the lake shore, and look for catfish holes. If and when you find one, you reach your bare hand in the hole and try to pull out the catfish! Ewww! Getting your hand scratched up is the least that will happen if you run into a giant catfish–or worse: a snapping turtle–in the hole!
This contest is in Pauls Valley, OK on July 11th for any of you that might think it would be a fun thing to do!
