Holy smokes! Bet they took the boat for a little ski session before they gave up!

What boat Magster?<br /><br />It's just you, water and fish. No boat involved.

Saw a tv fishing show where they were doing that for snapping turles except they pulled 'em out by the tail. I think the fellow called it grabbling or grappling. It was a hoot to watch him.

HotByte, here in Kentucky, it's called noodling.<br /><br />Whatever they want to call it, it use to be fun when I was younger and could move a little faster. <br /><br />And yes, you feel back across their back or side till you find the tail and come out with them pretty quick cause they can twist their head around and get you.

Re: noodling.

Hey Spinner, I think I know what HotByte is talking about. Way down south they go after snappers with their feet. One guy in the water feeling with his feet. When he finds one, he goes head first after the critter and his buds pull on his feet to bring him and the turtle up. I call it brain dead. 'Course some of my buds think I'm brain dead to. Did ya' ever do any frog giggin'? Use to love to do that. Can't beat a fresh pile of frogs deep fired to a golden brown.
