Talk:Noodling

I originally intended to write this article as a stub for Wikipedia, but as it progressed it got bigger and I decided to post it to Everything2, where I was still a contributor at times. I decided to post it here as well almost as an afterthought, and although I removed some of the more obvious jokes and references that make an E2 article funny/witty/sarcastic/whatever to amuse and entertain, it still feels somewhat unprofessionally written and not terribly encyclopedic. I just recently went through and reworded it a bit, but it still feels a bit off. If feel like I've done all with it that I can, and it now requires the work of someone not so intimately entwined with the words to go through and reword things so it's more suited for WP.

I know of a case documented in the early part of the 20th century in the Kansas River where a man drowned after noodling a catfish with a hook tied to his arm. It is metioned in an exhibit on noodling at the University of Kansas Natural History Museum. --Nonbonumest

It says that noodling is an extreme sport. Given that catfish do not have teeth, I would like to call this judgement into question. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.163.173.127 (talk • contribs) 05:34, 20 July 2006 (UTC-7)

Ok, so...the requirement for extreme sports is teeth?

To the above post, when you are catching a fish this large http://www.lochnessinvestigation.org/Catfish-Po.JPG with your bare hands i would say that it is extreme regardless of teeth.

I also think this article should be kept seperate from trout tickling since they are completely different. Trout tickling is not how you catch the fish it is how you subdue the fish so you can get it to shore without losing it.
