Main Idea and Details
READ THE PASSAGE
As you read, think about the main idea and supporting details in the passage.
Catfish Noodling
Would you dare to stand waist-deep in murky water and stick your hand into a mudbank with the hope 
of grabbing a wiggling, two-foot-long catfish? That is what catfish noodlers do. “Catfish noodling” is 
catching catfish barehanded, and few people are brave enough—or perhaps foolish enough—to try it. 
Neither linguists nor noodlers know where the term comes from. It is possible that this unique type of 
fishing is called noodling because wet, slippery catfish feel like wet noodles.
Catfish noodlers locate a place that looks like somewhere catfish might nest, such as in an 
underwater hole or within a submerged pile of tree limbs. Catfish are bottom-dwellers, which means they 
eat the food that is at the bottom of a body of water. To find the fish, noodlers have to dig deep.
Once a catfish location has been determined, a noodler will poke around with a stick. If it seems likely 
a catfish is in residence, the noodler will then stick a hand into the nest. Noodlers take many risks by 
shoving their hands into murky, underwater holes. They may be bitten, dragged underwater, or rubbed raw 
by a catfish’s sandpaper-like skin; or they might accidentally grab onto a muskrat, snake, or snapping turtle.
Catfish can weigh from 20 to 50 pounds, and they are strong! Noodlers usually fish with spotters, who 
are people who can help if the noodlers are pulled underwater or are unable get the catfish to let go of 
their hands—or whole arms. While many people fish in order to find dinner, noodlers often release their 
catfish after a quick inspection or photo opportunity. They noodle for the simple joy and thrill of the sport.
