Quote, paraphrase, and citation #5

Keith, By. "Out There: A Baptism! Noodling for Catfish - ESPN." ESPN: The Worldwide Leader In Sports. Web. 11 Nov. 2010.


At this point in your first noodling excursion, many questions muddle your mind. How did I get myself into this? Will there be a cottonmouth in this hole, or a beaver, or a snapping turtle? Do alligators live in these parts? If a catfish is home, will it really bite hard like they say? How bad will it hurt? They say big cats will swallow your entire hand, start spinning and rip the skin off your arm. What will that feel like? How did my noodling instructors get the nicknames Nubbins and Three-Fingered Jack?

This website tell you about noddling, and what the dangers are of the sport. Noddling is a sport were their is no equipment is used. No hooks, no lines, no poles or reels. No tackle of any sort ... unless you consider your hands tackle. Some people have even lost fingers because the catfish will bit down so hard.
