Not all fish are equally slippery. Grabbing catfish might be a little tough unless you're noodling. I don't think carp are as slippery.

lol, I happened upon this noodling video

inspired by borat ?

Maybe.
I couldn't stop laughing at the dwarf's "Hell Yeah" looped at the end with the catfish mouth opening/closing.


Edit: One of the YT comments is "wanderlust was in 2003. Way before Borat"


It looks like Borat in the series was on before 2003, but the movie wasn't around yet...
So, who knows...

Milkfish/Catfish/Carp/Trout>>>>>>>>>>Tilapia

Tilapia is trash fish.

Theres that video of the Mississippi River ( I think it was at least ) with the guys in boats getting hit by ~1' asian carp flying through the air. Jumpin' in from the water right into the boat.

And a sport fish in Europe. They have carp tourneys, just like we do for bass.

If you are trying to capture catfish, be aware of your local variety. Some catfish have sharp spiny fins that can slash your hands.

..you haven't lived till you've caught a bullhead. Then try to get your hook out of it. The dang things are like porkypines loaded wit quills. Your a bloody mess by the time you get your hook back.
