In this case the noodler would be bait for the fish.

Some of those guys do die trying to bring in a big catfish. Why risk you life to catch such an ugly damned thing? Catfish always gave me the creeps ever since I was a kid.

Those noodlers are crazy - sticking their hands in underwater obstructions and trying to make a big catfish swallow their hands/arms so they can pull them up. If they mess up, they can drown. Goofy!!!

Does it?

Finding one big gold nugget in a river doesn't mean the river's "rich with gold" by definition. It just means you got lucky once.

Awesome catch! Thanks for sharing. Happy for you that the Volga still sustains such prodigious specimen.

They still fish for sturgeon and spear them - on limited basis - in norther states like Michigan and Wisconsin. They make an annual event of it on some lakes, and once a set limit has been caught/speared by all fishermen, the season ends. Season might last a couple days or a couple weeks. Some fishermen get a sturgeon while some go home empty-handed.

That one is little bitty to one caught in China that was big enough to eat people. 8' long with a mouth that could easily swallow a full-grown adult. They stopped people swimming in the lake because they fear there are others just as large.

I have a picture of it, but no way to send it.

They get that big around the Bagnell Dam. There has been more than one diver that couldn't wait to get out of the water after encountering them.

Bottom-feeders typically prosper in streams full of garbage. American politicians prove that time and again.
