That was a big fish. But I wouldn\'t like to be pulled along a boat with a big hook jammed under my jaw

Well, he wouldn\'t come in if you invited him.

ive seen these before... theres some other kind of fish fairly large also altho not as big. they live in rivers (usualy about waist deep) ive seen (not personaly) people wade out and go fishing for em using their hands. theyl\'l herd it and corner it then theyl\'l catch it by simply grabing it or bear hugging it and pulling it out of the water.. pretty neat. as i said i cant remember the fish\'s name or the fishing method but its neat to see. the fish kinna looks like an over grown catfish \\ carp.

 

[Ogrebane]

Thats a big fish alright but not as big as the one I almost caught last time I went fishing.

Were you, Steelcult, and I in the chat area talking about this? Actually, Steelcult and you were teaching me about these fish.

[Ebonbuddha]

Hmmm...I will have to ask Mr. Cult.

Wolfie, Needle-Nose Gar & Gator Gar got teeth. Think barracuda or northern pike.

What you are probably thinking of is \'noodling\' for catfish. Reach up into a hole in the river bank and pull out a big ol\' catfish. Pure redneck sport involving lots of beer.

 

[dougaderly]

how many of you have actually gone out and done this before? noodling I mean.

Actually, I catch Gar all the time of my dad\'s boat. We catch them on metal leaders. They give an extremely good fight and we just release them back out. My pops once caught a 44 pound striped bass, he just let it go and everyone always tells him to eat what he catches, but that prevents the fish from getting bigger and breaking a record or giving you a good fight.

thats exactly what i was talking about i even said it was a different fish

Largest Garr I\'ve ever seen:

Not sure if a variation of noodling was used to land this one or not, or if there was any involvement of metal leaders. Looks like she\'d put up a pretty good fight though.
:duh:

 

[Evil Dave]

Ahh, Teri Garr.
She used to be quite the babe in her \"Young Frankenstein\" years.

 

[Ebonbuddha]

I don\'t know dave. I still would be happy to catch her. If I wasn\'t married that is.
