Noodling, Catfishing

"WOW! IF my dad was telling me the truth (when I was a teenager), and I had no reason to doubt him, the fish shown in a certain video online were only about half the size that were caught by noodling when he was a young man. He (J.Chasteen Kendrick), his twin brother (W. Chester Kendrick), their dad (Ernest C. Kendrick), and their mom's dad (William Harvey Burdick) noodled and caught HUGE catfish somewhere around the Arbuckle Mountains back in the 1920's. As I recall, he said they'd run a broomstraw up the nostril into the fish's brain to kill it and then 3 of them would drag it on shore to cut catfish steaks to cook over a campfire.

I can remember when my brothers and I saw two huge (at least 5 feet long) catfish in the private lake at Springlake Amusement park in OKC. and we threw them pieces of bread to feed them (no fishing was allowed there)." -- Roy K.
