Catfish Noodling/Grabbling

[ChuckJr]

I was hoping someone might could answer a question for me. I am working with a local church to help come up with a video and as strange as it sounds, the pastor is using Catfish Noodling as an example. I was wondering if anyone might know of some footage that was available for free or to purchase to use in our church and possibly to sell to other churches.

Thanks for your time and I hope all is well with everyone.

Best,
Chuck

What is "catfish noodling...?"

What, for that matter, is "catfish grabbling?"

maybe its one of those religious metaphors hehe

I'm mildly terrified of religious metaphors that sound like "noodling" or "grabbling..."

Noodling is how they catch catfish by hand. You climb in the water and feel around the river/lake and catch the catfish by hand as they hide in small caves and other underwater holes. I believe It is illegal in all but 2 states,I know this because I saw Mike Rowe do it on Dirty Jobs.

Illegal?

Sounds like a peculiar target for legislation.

its all fun and games until you get stuck with one of those big ass spines on the fins.

It's a weird way to fish. You basically get in the water and find giant catfish in their dens and pull them out with your hands. Not something I would do and I had never heard of it till a couple of weeks ago, but apparently it is pretty popular.

Thanks, we have. I just have to be sure it is okay to use it commercially.
