A pair of fishermen recently pulled a “monster” catfish out of a Texas lake using the cheapest bait available — themselves.
Justin White and Drew Moore were noodling at Lake Tawakoni, roughly 90 miles east of Fort Worth, when something massive bit down and put up a powerful fight, White said in a June 25 Facebook post.
For those not familiar with noodling, it’s a method of fishing in which an angler dangles a hand or foot ever so temptingly until a fish — hopefully toothless — clamps around the limb. The angler then grabs the fish with their bare hands and pulls it ashore.
Typically, noodlers are trying to catch catfish and will put their hand close to or inside of a catfish hole.
White shared photos of the huge fish, which weighed in at 98.7 pounds.
