A popular method of fishing down south is called "noodling".

In a nut shell, it involves catching a lazy catfish in the heat of the
day, by hand. They are semi dormant when it gets hot. The noodler either
wades or reaches around very slowly till he finds one, feels around and
finds the head and then waits till the big cat opens his mouth. At that
point he reaches in the mouth, grabs some gills and HOLDS ON FOR DEAR
LIFE.

These here guys down on the bayou are doing this in Louisiana & Texas.
