I love your account!! You are missing out on a career as a writer, a travel writer, who travels the world talking to locals in bars about local monsters and cryptids! It's never been done, and would be fantastic. Your writing reminded me a bit of Anthony Bourdain, whose books I love! Seriously, give it consideration! I'm never wrong about this kind of thing for some reason!

I can't see how anyone noodles catfish. The ones I've caught sometimes have weird spines and the clamp down so hard, I'd be afraid to stick my hand in their mouth! Worse, I'd be afraid of noodling a huge snapping turtle, those things are huge here, and afraid of nothing!

@rhodwilliams7258 Yes. You use you fist or fingers to feel around in the murky, muddy waters near banks and undercuts to get the fish to grab you. Catfish are good eating but they are real scavengers. There is a lake here in Texas, called Canyon Lake, that was formed when a town was literally flooded to create it, and scuba training classes used to train there, because it had buildings and abandoned automobiles down at the bottom. I had some friends who swear there were catfish the size of couches under there. I had heard it before, and apparently, it's true. My friend actually got scared out of diving because they were so huge and would just try to eat anything...

@claymore7315 I'm a big believer in the idea that many so called "average folks" actually have had pretty dramatic events happen to them. There are millions of incredible stories out there that people just keep to themselves, or don't realize the part they actually play in history. Ever since people have lived, they've been part of interesting times. I really got inspired by Linda Godfrey interviewing hundreds of people in her state who have seen the dogman. She broke the story of the first "Beast of Bray Road" and over the last 20 years, has found many people who were way too afraid to tell anyone what kinds of experiences they had, for fear of being thought crazy. Once the stigma was lifted, there were people coming forward that were in their 80s even, who had seen something they had no words for, and kept quiet about. I started asking all kinds of people what odd things they have seen, and pretty much everyone has had an experience they cannot explain! I think everyone has a story...

@Jackraiden500 You know, we're probably right as well, I'm sure all kinds of hanky spanky goes on with that kind of fishing....
