This has been a tradition for over a century. Probably longer than that if you account for where my ancestors more than likely learned the technique. Now I agree if you aren’t gonna cook and eat the fish and aren’t properly licensed just leave the poor fuckers alone. She is also using a non traditional technique usually your hand goes in the front way not up through the gills like that. It’s way less traumatic for the fish. No different than trying to eat something you shouldn’t have.
When I say fad, im referring to the explosion of hot girl noodling videos, not the act itself. Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people and there are countless other more humane ways to catch a fish if you're hungry, without destroying the fishes' brooding area.
I would think you tree hugging types would approve of noodling. It’s the closest you’ll get to a fair fight in the hunting/fishing world. She’s not using any special equipment to give her an unfair advantage. She literally stuck her foot in a hole and the fish bit her. Those guys are in the water with her in case the catfish pulls her under and drowns her. People die noodling.
She’s 2 seconds away from dragging it on shore and throwing it on the smoker. How is she “playing around”? Do you think it would have been more humane for the fish if she hooked it with a rod and reel and spent half an hour exhausting it so she could drag it out that way?
friend went in to a muddy lake (fell of a boat) and ended up with a lifelong muscular wasting disease... so, you know, probably a good idea to be cautious of dodgy waterways...
Did you then run across a trestle bridge and nearly get hit by a train and then finally got to the place and saw the body but your buddy's older brother was there and shit got really intense...
Her wearing the flag, hunting, carrying a handgun, going to firearms conventions, nascar events is taken to be support of conservatism by a lot of people. One of the brands she's paid to promote was supporting one of the fighters at the white house UFC event. She's definitely rubbing shoulders with trump supporters, but I don't think she's said anything in support of him herself. Which isn't denouncing him, either.
Hannah Barron (hannahbarron96 on Instagram). I don't see anything that immediately suggests her political stance. It seems to be overwhelmingly about fishing/hunting.
yeah that's why I asked too. I know who she is and I guess she tends to follow a lot of the things people commonly associate with it. But I also know a lot of non-Maga folks that love guns, fishing and shit too

Cicely Strong accent right there.

Is this to eat? Or is she just sticking her hand through a fish for fun. Pretty cunty way to go about it either way.

Do you want to get parasites? ‘Cause that’s how you get parasites.

Catfishing gone right.
MostAwesomeDan
This isn't catfishing, this is Noodling
iusedtodream
Tormenting wildlife for funsies is psycho behavior
HitchhikeroftheInternet
Strong girl! Catfish?
Telemapus
No thanks I'm trying to give them up.
BARP
Fucking psychos. Leave the fish alone. And that laugh would seriously grate after more than a minute.

Ann Hathaway is in everything this year!
Nostradamuswaswrong
Keep in mind noodling is illegal in most of the US, and pretty regulated where it's legal.
LivingDeadX
She seems like the kind of girl who’s passionately proud of her small town and its “heritage.”
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
That's impressive and I may be in love, but that looks so painful for the catfish...
ThatOtherGirlYouKnow
She's a trump supporter
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
Goddamn it. And I really think I had a chance with her! :(
eetsumkaus
never seen an actual woman catfishing before
bobthefunny
Those are some pretty muscles...
Gotcha44
Shame there's nothing in her head though.
arajad
She has more trust in that bikini top than I'd have in similar circumstances. (Not that I've ever gone for noodling.)
MisterRichard
I think that top knows better than to get out of line

I understand why people like this kind of content but it can devastate the local habitat. that catfish was also protecting eggs
Zetor
I don't understand it. It's stupid.
clonedeeznuts
Well you see, it’s all about me and the attention I get. Everyone else around me is an NPC.
Ozimbah
It also looks pretty cruel to me. It really looks like it'd be super painful to the catfish.
davebarton315101
Also the catfish’s back looks like it had an encounter with a propeller.
Daarst
Every time I see someone noodling I hope they find a hole lived in by a snapping turtle.
BranDohCalrissian
Upvoting for awareness. Fuck this fad, leave wildlife alone unless you're starving.
AvidApostate
It isn't a fad. People have been doing this forever.
BranDohCalrissian
By "fad" I mean hot girls torturing marine life for clicks, not the act of fishing with your hand.

Why the fuck are they torturing the catfish?

Because she’s a social media whore.
Howlingowl
Because catfish is tasty
Quixus
I agree, but then gut and prepare it instead of playing around with it.
Howlingowl

xj4low
They are bottom feeders. Once they get that big, they aren't that great for eating.
Racealistic
I went into a muddy lake like this and got covered in leeches. Watch the fuck out also do whatever you want I'm not your mom.

BranDohCalrissian
Sweet jesus, from leeches or just from the water itself??
Sh1tMovieGroup
Water, I mean, sure you wouldn't voluntarily be drinking anything that looks like that, but when you have an accident it can find a way in..

Did you then run across a trestle bridge and nearly get hit by a train and then finally got to the place and saw the body but your buddy's older brother was there and shit got really intense...
