Wow is all I can say! I have no idea what they did to do this but its freaking amazing, they are going to have catfish tostadas for about a year.

Basically they stick their arm down in a hole the fish is in and the fish eats their arm.

Of course, the danger is that there can be snapper turtles in those holes too.
That's gotta hurt, but I think the Catfish just gums you.

Its called noodling or hogging but its only legal to do with flatheads in Oklahoma or Tennessee.
Catfish holes basically have an entrance and an exit. Your buddy blocks the exit with his feet or something and you stick your hand down the hole and wiggle your fingers to get him to bite. Then you fist up and pull him out.
Catfish teeth are like sandpaper and don't hurt that badly but can scar up your arms in a very characteristic fashion.
sh*t you learn at 2A wrestling tournaments...
*edit* also legal in Kansas, Mississippi and Louisiana.

PSN: BoogleGWJThat is actually called Noodling. Easy way to loose a few fingers if you end up in a snapping turtle's hole. Still awesome stuff though.

Wow after reading that wiki and then comparing it to the monster snapping turtle that lives in the creek next to my apartment, I think I will take a pass at this sport
Someone could come back missing a few fingers to an arm :\ But then the prospect of landing a 40-75 pound fish = the cool.

I thought this was going to be about fishing with sticks of dynamite...

Catfish eat almost anything, too. If you stick your hand in a dumpster first, they'll probably go for it even with the exit open.

That didn't look right. Do catfish have any fight at all? He might as well have been picking up a mattress off the bottom.

Go ahead, stick you hand in the hole!
I took this shot of an alligator snapper at the Hartford Pet Expo. There was a guy there doing a reptile show. I have two common snapper hatchlings as pets.
I'm not lost. I'm locationally challenged.

Catfish fight like crazy, usually. Or maybe it seems worse than it is because they're scraping along the bottom and tangling your line.

Weird. I'm used to stuff like silver salmon who apparently take lessons from Churchill about never giving up. Halibut usually doesn't get too pissed until you actually get it out of the water. But then you're bunkmates with a 200 pound thrashing mattress. And if you had a ling cod that size on your arm you would be pulling his teeth out of you for a week. That's why smart people shoot them before pulling them into the boat.

If I have it right, you've got your fist halfway down the fish by the time you get it out of the water. I wouldn't expect too much wrestling from anything when put in that condition.

They're called "cougars," Mex, and that's not exactly "wrestling."

So, I guess I'm not manly.
Lag used to be a lot worse back in the day. Hell, it took Jesus 3 days to respawn.

The thing is when they're in the hole, they wriggle to get out the free end, the one you are pulling from.
Then they can only really flop side to side so you just raise up. And they don't have teeth, just sandpaper, and people wear gloves.

It's more like a compliment.
My uncle's friend once accidentally caught a halibut and brought it up to his rowboat. Broke one of the oars over its head and had to empty his gun into it before he could kill the thing.

Man and fish in boat, man shooting at fish while in said boat?
I won't go into all the (potentially Darwin-award-winning) problems I see with that, but I do know that firing a .22 at a hard surface and over water would be a good way to become persona non grata at any fishing hole where there are nearby livestock.

Everytime I've ever seen one of those things they weren't actually in the water.. they were hanging from low tree limbs over the water.

Dirty Jobs on Discovery channel actually had an episode about Noodling. Was really interesting. After they catch them/clean them they have a catfish fry.

I saw that episode as well and new exactly what they were doing in the video. The scary part is not knowing what's inside the hole.
