I was wondering if noodling was against the law here and it is. I have a freind that has done it down south. He says it is a blast I hope I get to try it someday.

Mike Rowe was doing it on Dirty Jobs last night on the Discovery Channel. My wife had never heard of it and she just raised an eyebrow like it was one of those stupid thing guys do for kicks.
Duuhh!
There are sites all about it on the web and even found a couple where the women get after the kitties.
Sound's like a blast to me, as long as I don't get a snapping turtle or cottonmouth after me.

[cool][#0000ff]Sorry, Bro, those are not noodling pics. Those big cats are "wels" catfish, from Europe. They are caught in the big rivers over there, on hook and line, and the anglers just pose with them in the water before releasing them...kinda like a lot of sturgeon fishermen do here in the states.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Most of those pics have been circulating on the web as American fish, but come from a couple of Italian catfishing clubs.[/#0000ff]
