Noodling may not be novel, but is certainly is weird. You just stick your hand in a fishhole by the side of a river bank and wait till the fish bites you. Usually a big old catfish grabs you by the arm, and you haul him out.
No thanks.

My dad and I once caught 75 mackerel one night by hand (about a mile away from land on an outer reef in Fiji)
I have also seen the nationals here in PNG pound up a specific root and throw it in the river. The river messes with the fishes gills and they basically pass out and float to the top, where all the kids of the tribe are waiting to fill baskets.

Knife Freak: No worries, PNG stands for Papua New Guinea, a Pacific island nation due north of Australia. It is the eastern half of the island of Papua. The western half (West Papua) is part of Indonesia.

Telephone works well, just don't get caught.

For being ODD!...the dude that fishes a spinning real upside down.

We were out in our boat one time fishing for walleye.
There was a guest couple on board so everyone had a rod except my mother.
Well, she wrapped some braided line around her had and started fishing. Guess who caught the biggest fish? You guessed it - must have been a good 6# eye. She fought that fish with finesse until we finally were able to net it. I still smile when i think of that day.
