It’s long been a dream of mine to go noodling—that is to catch a catfish with my bare hands. No, seriously, it has, though I’ve heard it’s illegal in many states. I better check on that.
Anyway, the good folks of Pauls Valley, Oklahoma—ah, the heartland, noodling on Saturday, church on Sunday—are gearing up for their annual noodlefest, one of the largest catfish wrangling tourneys in America.
Here’s an old NY Times article about the the tourney.
Do not miss this Website, which offers a primer on the tourney and the documentary that was made about it.
