Now I'm wondering where noodling is on this scale.
What is noodling?
Noodling is basically cat fish hunting by allowing the catfish to bit onto your arm and you lift it out of the water onto the shore.
Wow. Thanks.
While the description is correct, it doesn't really come close to how insane this looks. Treat yourself to some soaked rednecks on YouTube 💕
Probably worse, unless they are less likely to pull the fish up to begin with unless being kept? I doubt the hook is anywhere near as traumatic as the rest of the process.
