i have never heard of that type of noodling but im not going to say your wrong. These catfish are in holes with thier eggs down there. And they are teritorial so when something gets close to thier eggs they charge and they bite thier arm and they just hang on!
-
I'd never heard of noodling before watching this, so I'm no expert, but both of the guys who pull the fish out mention the fish being in a "box". So to me it sounds like they trapped them first, then stuck their arms in and pulled them out of the trap. Hats off to 'em anyway, that's the ballsiest way to land a fish I've ever seen.
-
I have never heard of trapping the fish in the box or anything. The way i have done it and the only ways i have heard of is to find thier holes, but i really dont know what they are talking about. they could be in a box
-
No... its a box used for a home for the fish... we have never used them.. but they are usually like 2-3 feet wide, about 4 feet long, with an entrance of about 16"X16" square about a foot long before opening up into the bigger section.. they use these boxes to know where the fish will be... like using rocks/stumps without the debris... a little safer too... cats will usually claim a box before turtles...
-
aahhh gotcha. the way me and my friends do it is to find a catfish hole and just do it that way. but thanks for clearing that up.
-
no problem... we dont use boxes either... supposed to get some bigger cats using boxes, but we've gotten a few 40's and accidentlly let out a few 60s
-
hey this
vidoe kicks butt man and i love it i <3 noodling even i have never done it before it looks fun!!!!! =]
-
o u damn city slickers just cant handle it thats y u use fishin line ..aint no rush other than stickin yur hand in a big ole flathead den and pullin out a 60 pounder...u fellas handfish on ...its that time a year right now thats y i looked this up on here..
-
Do the cat fish lay eggs in a huge hole or somthing? Also never stick your fingers out, you could lose em, best to hold it int oa fist.
-
I doubt they can even do that. They do have really small teeth. and there jaws are pretty strong. But I have never had more then just the top of my hand bleeding. However, when you put your hand in that hole, you definitely need to watch out for snapping turtles. them things can take limbs off.
-
I saw a documentary about this awhile back, you have to be nuts to go feeling around in those holes. There isn't just catfish in them, snapping turtles, snakes and as one guy found out, beavers. A guy grabbed one by the balls and his arm doesn't function right to this day.
-
That's how we do it in Oklahoma! If you have never went noodle'n then you haven't fished! The only thing I want to know is where they were fish'n? The biggest I ever got was 38 pounds down in Broken Bow, on the beavers bend river.
-
boy thats excatly how i fish down here in south la in galliano and hell no im not cujan,or coon ass in red neck all the way the biggest i caught was 43 pounds i had to get my dad to help me get it in the boat
-
what they basically do is feel around near logs, holes, root wads, etc. until they feel a fish then they just pull it out. I'm pretty sure in most states it's illegal, I live in Texas and I'm pretty sure it's illegal here.
-
how the hell they do this? i read about it but still don't get it
-
Catfish are predators. Generally you can find them in holes or burrows or on the bed lying in wait for smaller fish. They stick their arms into the burrows/holes and the catfish thinks it's a smaller fish. It attacks by Swallowing/inhaling, thus the reason their arms are down the throat and through the gills. These guys are beasts in their own right.
-
The cat fish are not so much preying on their arms as, the best season to do this is when they're spwaning.. the females lay eggs in the holes then the males go in to defend the eggs, you put your hand in and boom they bite ya.
-
Wrong Wrong Wrong Jsimp! When we "noodle" we are looking for the fish to be nesting. This happens in the summer when the water temperature is right for the spawn to occur. The males find holes in boat ramps, rocky areas, and underneath submerged brush and logs and they wallow out the spawing ground and prepare for the females. If you get them in the heat of the spawn you can pull several fish from one spot. The males defend the nest voraciously and strike at any threat, including your hand.
-
wicked your stupid they put boxes in the water and let the girls lay eggs and then the males gaurd them thats when they stick there hnd in there and let them bite them or they find real catfish holes in the river
-
Pulling fish out of a box. Are you kidding me.Where's the sport in that.Hunting and Tattoos.Along time ago people ate what they hunted.A long time ago you had to be tough to get a tatoo.now every wuss has one.
-
I've watched this and several other Noodling Videos...This ones way too cool! I bet they were good eatin too!! One documentary type video on catfishing in Spain was sayin they gain on average 10 lbs per year if left unchecked...do the math-how long before these ones reach man-sized!!??...Can't wait to see THOSE videos!!
-
My idea is a good weekend is floatin down a lazy river with some cold beer in hand, also eatin' catfish, barbecue and havin' a country bone rub in the tent with a homegrown lady.
-
this must be excruciatingly painful. Imagine having an enormous arm up your mouth and out of your nose, destroying all your internal structures in the process. Animals.
-
damn dumass rednecks wat r u gonna do wit this fish eat it c'mon just let em live god
-
your tryin to look intelligent by typin well put a double m in comment next time you will look more credible btw I speak 3 language retard dats why i may make some error in my typin and dont tell people they dont have any reason to live man people may suicide and shit not funny at all grow up dude
Ice fishing is a popular sport the farther north you go, but it's not quite the same as traditional fishing. Ice fishing is usually done in huts on a frozen lake. These huts have holes cut into their bottoms for fishers to access ice, drill holes and drop their bait into the lake. Ice fishing requires a short rod because of the space constraints and holes in the ice that can be the size of a baseball or smaller. You can go to an outdoor recreation store and buy one, or you can make one at home for a fraction of the cost.
Looking to go ice fishing but you would rather craft your own makeshift ice fishing rod at home than buy an expensive one from a shop? This is very possible, and potentially quite easy. And to start, all you need is a good, firm tree branch.
