The Sport that is Noodling
Nov 21, 2007 12:37 AM

If you aren't familiar with Noodling it is the hardcore sport of catching Catfish with your hands. Essentially you find nesting holes where Catfish are hanging out, you stick your hand in feel around for the Catfish, Grab it and hold on for dear life. This quote is from a an article from ESPN on first time Noodling, "If a catfish is home, will it really bite hard like they say? How bad will it hurt? They say big cats will swallow your entire hand, start spinning and rip the skin off your arm. What will that feel like? How did my noodling instructors get the nicknames Nubbins and Three-Fingered Jack?" We found some videos shown below that do a good job of displaying the crazy sport that is "Noodling" also known as "Grabblin"
