Hilbilly Handfishing...are you freakin' kidding me?!?
I am what one might consider an Okie transplant. I was born in Norway, moved to Texas when I was around 10 or 11, and I've been in Oklahoma for the last 13 years. I like it here, sort of.
In the winters we have snow. It might only last two or so days, not long enough to ski or sled, but we have it. It gets freezing cold. It's like our air freezes. And in the summer it's almost like the mojave desert. Really plants and shit are dying and there is a water shortage, the temps are in triple digits. It's not for the weak.
I always thought that northerners see okies as rednecks. Can you blame them? We have noodling here. Who the hell noodles. And before you could deny it. No one really does that stuff? Who fishes without poles?
But now, now with this new tv show, Oklahoma looks like a really redneck state. Bunch of hilbilly rednecks who stick their limbs in holes to hopefully have big ugly stinky catfish bite them. What a dumbass thing to do!
I love fish, just not all kinds of fish, and catfish is on top of the list, right below lutefisk. Catfish lay on the bottom of the riverbed, burrows down in the mud, opens it's mouth and eats whatever falls in. And just the name alone...ugh. And they are truly ugly with whiskers and all.
Noodling, handfishing, I don't care what you call it, it's a dumbass thing to do.
