词源 | noodling. A way to catch catfish by using one’s bare fingers as both bait and hook. The technique, common in the South, can be painful, as catfish have sharp teeth. Catfish can weigh more than 100 pounds and noodling is so called because these fisher- men wiggle their fingers like spaghetti to attract the monster fish. |
