|  Have you tried noodling?
I know that this is prohibited in most states but have ever think of trying this kind of fishing? I think this kind of fishing is for people who are not afraid of snakes or snapping turtles.
Will I be fined if I will be caught noodling?

Not only have I never tried it, I don't even know what it is, lol.
If it is illegal, I would think you would definitely be fined if caught, and possibly even arrested. Wildlife and Fisheries doesn't play games when it comes to illegal activities.

I haven't tried it...something about putting my hand in dark places I can't see into just bothers me. I feel like I would give it a try if there was some gauruntee of there being no snapper turtles or snakes, but that's next to impossible.

Here is the link to a good video that not only explains just what noodling is but shows a good example. Noodling for Catfish :: Reel Road Trip with Mark Melnyk | World Fishing Network

A friend of mine who lived in Georgia for a while was the first person to tell me about noodling. As much as I like fishing, I'm not sure I could stick my hand inside the mouth of a giant catfish.

I didn't even know what it was, but now that I know, I don't think it would be something I would want to do. I don't think I would be very good anyway! =)

Thanks for the explanation, but now I have another question - why is it illegal? If someone wants to fish that way I don't see what the problem is.

I don't believe it is illegal in many places. People do it around here all the time but I'm not going to use my body parts for bait for anything, ever. I don't care how much of a rush it is.

I haven't tried noodling but I don't think I'm going to use my hands to catch fish. I'd rather use a rod and bait to catch some fish.

No Way! I'm not going to try to grab a fish! Who knows what else I would grab! I'm so scared of snakes! I'm not sticking my hand anywhere!
