Oh man, I need to get something similar for my collection. I'm short on fish and birds.

It's when you grab a fish by it's lower lip to hold their weight. Most times it done with largemouth/smallmouth bass or striped bass to bring them out of the water when they're caught. Not done with toothy fish though. I thought you fished.lol
Thanks for the explanation,I've seen that done before but never knew there was a term for the practice.I do fish from time to time but I'm no seasoned angler lol.I mostly catch minnows and sunfish these days.
Almost lipped a bluefish once nightfishing before I noticed it's forked tail instead of the striper's rounded tail. Thx to that, I still own my right thumb.lol
Like saltwater piranhas that can fight pound for pound like no other. When they lock their jaws on something beating them with a stick still won't make them let go. I've heard of stories of people having to cut the blue's head off to hopefully get their bodyparts back!
I literally watched a father with his family on a charter boat that was in close proximity to my boat strike a lipit pose with a mid sized (~ 30") Bluefish. The 1st mate on the charter screamed out a warning to him, but too late. There were literally dozens upon dozens of boats in the immediate vicinity.
We all almost peed ourselves laughing at him losing his freakin' thumb.
I quickly started singing a Crosby Stills and Nash tune: Teach your children well!
I have caught 4' blue fish in the Atlantic ocean Luckily I was just 1 braincell above "noodling" this fish.
You know, stuff your arm down a Catfishes throat to catch it!
I've noodles quite a bit. The blue and channel catfish are the ones that have bitten me HARD. Flathead Catfish don't have the jaw pressure that those two have.
