REALY Weird stuff!

There has got to be a thousand off the wall things you never heard about, so there is 999 to go! Here's a starter that I saw on TV tonight. Post stuff you think nobody has ever heard of!

NOODLING:

A Redneck activity at it's best, crazy bastard's that use their hands to catch Catfish! I could not believe this. All you do is go out in a lake or river and feel your way around until you feel a 30 pound catfish and out it out of the water!

From Wikipedia:

For other possible meanings, Noodle (disambiguation).

Noodling is the practice and sport of fishing for catfish using only one's bare hands. Catfisting, grabbling, graveling, hogging, tickling, are all possible names, depending on region. (Kentuckians call it dogging, while Nebraskans prefer stumping). Five U.S. states have laws explicitly permitting handfishing: Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Kansas. Missouri had an experimental noodling season in 2005 on sections of three rivers, from June 1 through July 15.

The term "noodling", although today used primarily towards the capture of flathead catfish, can and has been applied to all hand fishing methods, regardless of the method or species of fish sought. Noodling as a term has also been applied to various unconventional methods of fishing, such as any which do not use bait, rod & reel, speargun, etc., but this usage is much less common. In the UK this technique is known as guddling.

Please post pic's of his hands! Lot of these guys get bit pretty bad!

 

Yes, but not this one. Reaching into holes where the water vis is about five inches for some reason does not appeal to me! If I want fish, I'll go to the market.
