How do you guys cook them?...Catfish is about my favorite fish to eat,I'd be a little scared but I would try noodling maybe once.

LOL. look at the tiny ones in the background!

I see em....why would you keep all the small ones too?

Noodling is a cool sport when not all the fish are kept. Practice catch and release!

noodling is great grew up in oklahoma were that is the thing to do moved to illinois were if you find someone doing it they call you crazy lol

My granddad was a noodler from southern Illinois. I have one pic of him with an 87lb cat he noodled(I have to find it). He said that it wasn't the biggest he had caught. His brother had just got a camera that day(1940's) so he took the pic. Grandpa said the cat was 12" between the eyes ..

I'll see if my dad can send me a copy of the pic so I can post it for you guys.

Here is the pic guys !!!!!!!!! For size reference, my Grandpa was about 6'3" tall and weighed between 280 and 300lbs in the picture. I can go into more detail on how he noodled this beast if you all are interested ..

I think at least some of us are and it wouldn't exactly be derailing so why not.

Noodling is actually illegal in Texas and can result in a $500 ticket still at the moment but they are trying to pass legislation to legalize it as we speak. It passed the house vote and is awaiting governor approval as of 5/19/11
