You're quite welcome :-) I only knew about it because I saw a TV program on it a few years ago....it involved a noodling derby with prizes and all, and it followed several competitors through the competition. I remember one of them cheated by using a scuba outfit....the rules were that those weren't allowed :-)
Here in the Pacific Northwest if you start sticking your hand into holes underwater you're more likely to have a big octopus wrapped around it or have a Moray eel or a Wolf Eeel take it off your arm for you :-)
Did you see the snake that swam by in the second video? Yikes!
Indeed....about the time that happens I would be asking myself: "And the reason why I didn't simply go to the Safeway and ask the pretty lady at the meat and fish counter to please wrap up a nice fish steak for me is what, exactly?"
hehe!
It seems that we've hit upon a business opportunity for you! You could open up an eclectic health spa at your lake and offer beauty packages including the 'baby fish nibbling at your toes' treatment as well as burying women in the mud up to their chins on the shore.....you could also teach them how to fish (for an extra fee, of course)
:-)
Gosh.
I’d probably get sued by some liberal when a danged gar came up and nibbled a toe off!!!
Then, when I buried these liberal “air head” women in mud, I might want to keep them there. Their husbands might even pay me to do so, while I walked the husbands around the lakeshore, giving them lessons on catching big bluegill on popping bugs and a flyrod.
Shiite, that’s it, I could make money this way (I have thought about taking up a second career in my mid life crisis).
I actually thought I might take up playing a banjo, but this idea is better. I could charge the metro men big bucks while they also shell out the dough for me to keep their yapping “chihuah,” women buried in mud. I could run over between taking the fish off the hook for the men, and do some Yoga for the new age chicks. I could bolster their self esteem and tell them I am really the Caucausion “Oprah.”
Of course, taking fish off the hook is not conducive to false fingrnails, but I could fill in for them.
The possibilities are endless. Thank you for suggesting this!!!!
Oh yeah! He slimed ya!
You should have seen me getting him in the boat with about a 20 MPH wind.
You could string up the equivalent of "submarine netting" surrounding the Girlangler's Fou Fou Spa For Rich Ladies underwater treatment area....big enough holes in the netting for the baby fishies to get in and out of, but too small for a gar to get in :-)
Then, when I buried these liberal “air head” women in mud, I might want to keep them there.
One of the side-benefits of the business....the satisfaction of knowing where on the beach the most tenacious and aggressive mud-worms are, and burying the most shrill and ideologically-oriented Leftist women there. (((((snicker)))))
Their husbands might even pay me to do so, while I walked the husbands around the lakeshore, giving them lessons on catching big bluegill on popping bugs and a flyrod.
They would pay big bucks just for the opportunity to be able to spend quality time with a sane, normal and mentally- healthy woman for a change.

All it would take would be proper zoning for such a business at your lake, a bit of venture capital, a frilly salon, luxury apartments for the guests to stay at and some slightly less luxurious accommodations for the Vietnamese lady manicurists and hair stylists to live in. Provide complimentary limousine service from the nearest airport and unleash a killer ad campaign in The New Yorker and Salon.com. You could offer all-inclusive packages as well as customized packages for the budget-conscious customers. Hire Hungarian Gypsy as your Master Chef (pinged to this thread as a courtesy because I've mentioned her name) and hire 4Woodenboats as your fishing boat Captain. (also courtesy-pinged because I think it's rude to talk about people behind their backs). You could charge people THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS for just a few days there....the possibilities are endless.

Last time I checked, banjo players typically aren't discussed much in Forbes.

Tell the metrosexual hubbies to do it because it's part of achieving their proper Cosmic Aura.

You're quite welcome, and I'm delighted that you approve :-)
Surf n’ turf!
<<< making mental note to avoid swimming in the Mekong river :-)
Lucy did you see the photo in post 33?
A good one.
Would you call the lady a fisher woman?, wonder what she used for bait?
::proud mom moment::
My 8 year old reeled in, by himself, a 17 inch bullhead catfish last week. :)
Obviously that is no where near this fish; but that was very impressive for an 8 year old!
I typoed your freep name in my 73. Come see the pretty kitty.

That would make any mother proud.
Good for him.
My mom always went fishing with us. We had a little Penn Yan...a little better than a canoe. We used her for “weight” at the bow of the boat. She never knew!!
