Today's Grainne gem - Live by the fish, die by the fish...

Amazingly, redfish, Missouri has just passed a law making noodling, or the hand catching of catfish, legal! Can you imagine how macho going mano-a-fisho must be!! Wow, Missouri is going backwards just as fast as it can. My article says it's mostly middle-aged rural males who enjoy this "sport." Frankly, I like what your cited article says about the whole thing. It is really sad to see the photos of the dying fish in your url:

"For those who've never heard of it, noodling involves diving in a river and wiggling your finger under logs and in holes where the big cats hide. Many people lose digits to snappers, die from poisonous snake bites, or are drowned by huge catfish, which is why i'd never have the balls to try it. Sounds like good hick fun though."

Hmmmm . . . live by the fish, die by the fish comes to mind . . .
