Bama Noodling owner Blake Johnson, on the other hand, intentionally tries to get bit by the biggest catfish he can find, and for more than a decade, he’s been teaching other people around the South how to do it, too.

Johnson, a resident of Sand Rock, Ala., said he first went hand fishing for catfish, or catfish noodling as its known, way back in 2011 when a friend invited him to tag along on a trip.
