Spanish Girl Reacts

Catching catfish with your bare hands?! This is wild 😳🐟🇺🇸

In this video, I react for the first time to “Catfish Noodling: Pulling Catfish from Clay Holes in the Banks of the River! The Old Fashion Way!”, and wow… this was one of the most unexpected outdoor traditions I’ve seen in America 😅✨

As a Spanish girl and European, I had no idea that catfish noodling was a real thing. The idea of reaching into clay holes in the riverbank and pulling catfish out by hand sounds both fascinating and terrifying at the same time 🇺🇸💛

What makes this even more interesting is that it’s done the old-fashioned way. It feels like one of those local traditions that has been passed down through families and communities, especially in rural parts of America where people have a strong connection to rivers, fishing, and outdoor life.

I love discovering these unique American traditions because they show a side of the United States that feels very different from big cities or famous tourist places. This is real outdoor culture, muddy, risky, surprising, and full of local history 🐟🌿

As a European reacting to American culture, this was definitely a culture shock for me. I can’t imagine putting my hand into a hole underwater without knowing exactly what is inside 😳😂

A huge THANK YOU for the request and for your support 🥹🫶 I truly appreciate every suggestion, every comment, and every video that helps me discover more of America through your eyes.

Grandpa, looked like he was seriously in his happy place, grandson asleep in the safest place in the world, and noodling with his daughter, and family

You asked about the stick first... its to make sure theres not a snapping turtle in the hole. They get big enought to take a hand or a foot completely off. 3:42

Girls go to bars and night clubs and can't even get a guy to buy them a drink. Hannah posts a video of herself catfish noodling, hunting or working around her home and she get thousands of marriage proposals.

I was raised five blocks from the Mississippi River. We used to call it a catfish rodeo to see who could hold on the longest. I still have a scar from one.

so when you see people at a restaurant having a plate of catfish, this is what a catfish looks like. fish that a restaurant serves are all mostly farm raised I think, so most would not be this size.

They have to aware of alligators, snapping turtles and snakes.

They have teeth that are very tiny and are similar to sandpaper. When they twist and jump around, it can tear the skin on your arm. She had these the best way, reaching through the gill to the mouth while wearing a glove. They are very strong and can cause other injuries.

Some catfish grow large enough no one could catch them noodling. It would turn out the catfish caught the noodler. If it didn't decide to let go of the noodler it would be the last time the person noodled for catfish.

I live on a lake in North Carolina and the current world record blue catfish was caught here, on a rod and reel.

The all-tackle world record blue catfish caught in Kerr Lake (Buggs Island) weighed 143 pounds (64.86 kilograms), measured 57 inches (144.78 cm) in length, and had a 44-inch girth (111.76 cm). It was caught by angler Richard Nicholas Anderson on June 18, 2011.

Another blue catfish that weighed 109 pounds, it was landed on March 17, 2011.

The 109-pound blue catfish caught on Kerr Lake in March 2011 ended up at the Bass Pro Shops aquarium in Ashland, Virginia.

They use the pole to poke around looking for holes and fish in the holes then they stick their hands in the holes and they bite down on the hand. Then they grab em.
