Maybe some of y'all have heard about THIS before but then maybe you haven't.
This is a somewhat weird sport that some, either very brave people with lots of guts, or people with absolutely no damned sense, ie, redneck's famous last word's, "Hey Y'all! Look At This!" participate in here in Oklahoma and surrounding states.
It can be very, very, dangerous because as it is related in the story, "Some are just too big to be "Hossed" out!" and the really big ones can clamp down on your hand and arm and drown you by being immovable.
My Great Uncle, Jim Ames, scared me away from this when I was about 13 and on a visit with grandpa and grandma down to their place in Siloam Springs Arkansas. Uncle Jim and Grandpa went fishing and I tagged along with them so I could go swimming. Uncle Jim told me, "Don't go and try to be noodling now. There was a 13 year old boy killed by a 35 pound flathead about 2 weeks ago right along in here and washed up down on the gravel bar down the creek. The flathead was still clamped on his arm."
Scared the poo outta me it did and I never ever noodled and after seeing the results of the catfish bites on some of the noodler's arms later in life I always thought they were crazy.
But the catfish is good no matter how it's caught!!!!
Hope the link works.
Well crap! It appears that you'll have to register to see it. I had to login again.:grumpy:
Sorry about that.
I wouldn't have posted it but I thought it would work as it lets anyone into the front page.
:grumpy:
Trying to post the pic anyway...
