Noodling..

Only thing I ever noodled was a woman and I aim to keep it that way.

I've heard the Snappers go into the holes headfirst, which is why that isn't a problem. I don't know. I'd probably reach in and find the one turtle that preferred to do things differently.

I have cousins down in Kentucky who do it. When you put your arm in the mouth of a 50 pound cat, you have entered his world!!!

Whole bunch of nope. I've seen some very large snapping turtles in the rivers. The bigger ones could pretty easily take a hand off. No way am I reaching my hand into a dark hole and not knowing what's in it.

I've caught lots of snapping turtles in Indiana and there is no way I would stick my hand in a hole in a muddy river to catch a catfish! That's how people loose fingers! Catching a catfish is much more fun sitting in a lawn chair with a pole baited with chicken live, relaxing and eating a ham sandwich! That's the life!
