Our new instructor at work is an absolute hoot. The other day he was telling us about being talked into going "noodling". Knowing him, it might have been true.
For those of you that don't know, "noodling" is a way of catching catfish that's mostly been practiced by hicks & hillbillies but has caught on with other less than intelligent groups of people.
To "noodle", you wade into a shallow area of a river and start groping around underwater for holes that a catfish might hide in. You use only your bare hands. When you feel what you think is a catfish biting down on your hand, you pull whatever it is out of the hole with all your strength and hope that you still have all of your fingers afterwards (which isn't always the case). Sometimes it's a snake or other nasty critter.
Here are some pictures of some successful noodlers and their catch. I think this would be a fine PF event.
