Wow. That's gnarly.

Reminds me of a quote from "last of the blue water hunters". I think it applies, even if it is about spearfishing.

A spearfisherman stuck a big black seabass (back before it was illegal) with a custome gun and almost drowned when the fish sounded   "...he couldn't say if it was easier to release a newly built speargun or an old one. All he could say was "you had better be ready to let it go"".

Reminds me of the dangers of noodling for catfish (not that I've ever done that myself).

BTW, if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend the video "Okie noodling".  Red neck fishing action at its best.

I just saw an episode of Americas dirtiest jobs in the dicovery channel last night - they had a story on catfish noodling - pretty funny stuff
