Champion “noodler,” or handfisher, Lee McFarlin holds a giant flathead catfish he caught using his hand as bait. “Everybody tells me I’m the guru of noodling,” McFarlin says. “Until you can control that fish, he will whip your butt every time.” McFarlin chalks up his wins to practice and technique. From May until July, McFarlin noodles two or three times during the week and all weekend, routinely snagging his limit of three fish. Handfishers, or “noodlers,” Cristi Snyder, Fostana Jenkins, and Betsy Dougherty search for flathead catfish, a species found in waterways in the South and Midwest U.S. Handfishers probe and prod for the holes where the fish lurk during breeding season. They then dive down and reach into the underwater lairs, hoping that a monster “cat” will take the proffered bai the noodler’s hand. Handfisher, or “nooder,” Ann Tittle holds a giant flathead catfish. To avoid drowning or other accidents, noodlers recommend fishing in teams.
