1 I think bare handed fishing would be a real challenge. But then I believe if you can not look some one in the eye before you kill him maybe you should not push the button. Rod Stanton Cerritos

2 They do that with flatheads and blues in the rivers here in NC, too. Pretty gutsy, you can't see down there, and there might be a snapping turtle inside that log or pipe instead.

5 Noodling is best in South Mississippi. The challenge is do you find a cotton mouth, alligator snapping turtle or alligator. Nay. Not for me. Best fishing down here lately has been for square grouper, (aka bails of green weed the goes up in smoke). Also smaller bails of white stuff. So many the the law says you can't pick them up even to turn in to police. Too much temptation. Oh officer, I found this bail in the water and was bringing it to the police when you stopped my boat. I guess they do have a point. Noodling or square grouper, you're taking a chance of getting bit.
