Hey hootiowl,

have you ever heard of 'noodling'?

I saw a documentary "Noodling for Catfish" about it...scary shit.

It's a southern thing, not necessarily cajun.

[hootiowl]

yep have heard of it, never done it though, cause i don't like being in muddy water. but we do go frogging and pick them up by hand along with alligators (ya have to be real careful with them), i don't usually pick em up cause they scare the shit outta me, but the hubby does (he's crazy too)
