As I mentioned I have collected a few item's on this. Just because I
thought it was funny. They have alot of different names for it in
different parts of the country. But the most common is Noodlin. Which
one artical I have said that was from the thought that those who did it
must not be using their noodle. IE they are out of their minds.


There have been some stories kicking around in the past about how the
catfish has won the battle on a few occasions by drowning the would be
noodler.


Absolutely, On the video I copied from PBS show has a guy talk about a
friend who got his arm stuck under a old road that had been flooded by
the lake that was built. The old road bed sorta tapered into the water
and this guy would grope around where the water had washed out under
some of the old road. They went looking for him and had to had passed
him at least twice. But did not see him. When help arrived they found
him and his head was only about 6 inches short of the surface. Of couse
there is still no air six inches underwater.
