I guess no noodler how brave he is would like to put his hand in those jaws. I think you missed the last pic.

Re: man eating catfish

I've attempted to noodle before. My dad has noodled since he was a kid (and he's got the scars to prove it).
I stuck my hand in a hole and I almost fainted. All that I could keep thinking is that it would be just my luck to be sticking my hand in an alligator hole and not a catfish hole. So, I got really white and fainty...and my dad let me out.

Oddly, Alannah (my twin sister) is really into it. No qualms at all. She just lets the fish basically eat her hand and pulls them out.
It's no fun to do but funny to watch. Especially because every time one of them bites Alannah, she screams some profanity. LMAO. Makes me giggle (as evil as that is).

Re: man eating catfish

those were some really cool pics though, and i would like to see a you tube video of that noodling Alexa, that would be a hoot.

Re: man eating catfish

noodling just does not sound right!  I can think of a whole bunch of naughty things that you could call noodling.

A better picture of the Bagarius yarrelli's jaw and this fish looks like a juvenile.

Sounds like a bull shark to me.

Re: man eating catfish

bull sharks don't live in freshwater rivers. do you tell people you have sharks in your aquarium, referring to your balas?

Bull sharks do live in freshwater rivers, and there is even a small population in Lake Titicaca.

And, who's gonna be the CAKer to take these bad boys on?

Re: man eating catfish

Bull Sharks give birth in fresh/ brackish water and one was caught on a fishing pole in St. Louis Missouri and their is another rare mostly unknown family of shark that lives in fresh water. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glyphis    http://www.elasmo-research.org/conse...ver_sharks.htm                  

Theirs freshwater sting rays why wouldn't their be freshwater sharks.
