Okie Noodling

Aroview: An amiable glimpse into the American tradition of "noodling", whereby giant catfish in Oklahoma are lured and captured bare-handed.

This technique chiefly consists in submerging oneself in a muddy river, letting the catfish take a bite of you and then clambering onto dry land, fish attached! Around this perilous 'sport' a curious subculture has become attached, which this short documentary humourously uncovers.
