  • Awesome. Add that one to your bucket-list.

  • i don't think yall r crazy im gona go nuddlin next month

  • Train wreck of comments

  • my home state

  • I grew up in NE OK, at Grand Lake just outside of Langely,OK. Went to college and received a degree in computer science, but I still miss the country/farm people of that part of this great country. For all of you haters spewing your vile "Hick" hate speech, try living the self sufficent and hard working existance of rural life, most of you "enlightened", "elitist" would starve. Your urban lifestyle is the reason most of the world has to transport your food an average of 1200 miles for each meal.

  • @bmcclure0561dad THUMBS UP. You are a smart man. Thank you, and well put. Maybe that will shut some of these hating fuckers up. Then again, they are all ignorant bastards..

  • @bmcclure0561dad Thank you thats the way I live pretty much right now I'm a little spoiled with the grocery store for some things but I'm glad to see someone stand up for the way we okies live we all should live this way it doesnt get any better

  • i dont think there crazy i do it if i lived down in tht area

  • Fuck all you yankee piece of shit cocksuckers. Think your computer n tech shit is the new life. Get out in the sun dumb fucks, why u searchin this shit anyways just to hate on it.

  • I AGREE ! I pray to God Each one of your Complete DOucheBagged Dickless Bastards GET your HANDS Bit off by a Snapping Turtle. That'll be Your Sign you are a FUCKING DUMBSHIT Fuckhole HorseCock sucking Shit For Brains. We Can't Wait for your Video on that one. COWARDS!

  • I'll tell ya What, There cant be ANybody MORE Dumber than a Human Being Holy

    F u c k i n g God Why'd he Create these Ignorant Hick D I C K S. I guess we know we've graduated once we chew on the Cigar Butt and Baseball Sized Wad of DICK Chew hanging inside our DICKless self Jerkoff Mouths. YOU people are Fucking God damn STUPID asses. This should be Illegal, killing Innocent Fish like this. You fucking Morons

  • @shiznitbitslap Haha listen to yourself. Killing innocent fish? Mother fucker, that's how some people eat. Stop being a pussy and man the fuck up.

  • @shiznitbitslap animals were put on the earth to feed us you peta fuck. ur just mad cuz you would never be able to survive without ur grocery stores

  • @shiznitbitslap Why do you consider catching fish with your hands a "crime against nature"? People all over the world catch fish using everything from commercial trawling to the honorable age old profession of being a fisherman. Why should your "Hate Crime" toward rural americans be tolerated when the same hate "speech" is a violation of federal civil rights laws when it is against minority races, homosexuals, women.....etc.

  • @shiznitbitslap AND if you really do "Pray to God" I would bet that the "Creator" would tell or show you that you are on the wrong path!

    Try praying and asking for some guidance and "Love for your fellow man" regardless of where they live or the color of there skin! 

  • I think it's great how people talk bad about Oklahoma. It's actually a great place to live, and if you enjoy anything that gets your adrenaline pumping, you would love the sport of noodling. Every state has its "less than desirable" people, but they don't represent the state. Oklahoma has its pros and cons, just like every other state.

  • Only a couple weeks until handfidhing time...can't wait!

  • i wonder if the anouncer at the tournement could have possibly fit anymore chewing tobacca in there..

  • Fuck Oklahoma. I was forced to move there and everyone there is literally like that. Stone age as hell and dumb as shit.

  • LEVIIIII GARRETT

  • i dare u guys to try to catch a greatwhite shark like that haha jp,,,yall from oaklahoma are crazy enough do do that

  • Lee McFarlen is a legend in noodlin

  • i noodle for blues one time i got bit by an snapping turtle

  • People here in N. W. Florida don't do this. If you go poking around in the water like these guys you might pull back a stub.....and find an alligator eating the part he clipped off. That, or you might pull an arm back with a couple of water moccasins hanging off it.

  • I love this great state of oklahoma, It's the only place that you will hear the phrase WORLDS LARGEST NOODLIN TOURNAMENT IN THE WORLD! LOL!!!

  • if u dont like oklahoma then go on ,,get the fuck out......BOOMER SOONER BABY!!!

  • @oklahomabartman64 Sooners are nothin more than a shitty ass amateur team. Seriously, fuck Oklahoma.

  • why dont you like texas?

  • I think catfish noodlin is hard, dangerous, and looks like a lot of fun. I think if things every really really bad in this country. I think a lot of people might die of hunger. But I also think there are many that might surprise us and themselfs, of what they might do to gather some food. Whether it be fish, frogs, snakes, turtles, nuts, berry's etc.

  • did he say: "the worlds largest noodling tournament in the world" ....? lol

  • Heath Osbourne at 2:37 that's my homie from Blair! ha ha LMFAO

  • This may be a rural town tradition, but it continues to be a hillbilly and really dumb way to fish. If you do want to go swimming that bad, by all means do it in a much cleaner body of water.

  • thats a ginger redneck

  • Heat up the Fryers and let's start eatin!!!

  • Is that host chewing tobacco? Dang, that's a lot.

  • How do you catch those monsters by bare hand that's just amazing!!!!!

  • this video would be alot better if these guys actually found natural holes not man made ones in a lake.... no beavers, logger heads, snakes, no current, you use gloves.... powderpuff noodling ppl

  • YES!

  • "Cuz People Think we're Crazy Anyways" Words of a true champ... ^_^

  • goddammit Lee, get off the meth.. you look like shit. Look at the documentary from a couple years earlier and he looks like he's in his mid to late 20's now he looks like he's 50+.

  • 7 HOURS????????

  • Do they eat these catfish afterwards?

  • yes they dooo

  • i hate my state

  • @TexasNova go on get get the fuck out

    texas sucks ass

  • @TexasNova stop being a pussy you little bitch.

  • @TexasNova Looks like I need to pay that place a visit. Reminds me of home.

  • I remember the Internet before everyone used it. It held such promise. We had friendly and intelligent debate. I miss those days.

  • This is pretty brave!

  • i tihnk i saw one not white person

  • I hope they ate those fish.

  • Here is one sport you won't see too many brothas participating in.

  • That is CRAZY !

  • female seeking a married sugar daddy

  • They don't know who the first president was... but they can sure cantchum a big fish! Yee Haw. Very proud.

  • Hahaha Jokes on the fish bet he didnt see That coming.

  • Where are half naked lady noodlers...it's not fair

  • he goes in the water feels the bed of the water and just gets bit by a fish.....for 7 hours....thats not skill....thats getting lucky and being stupid

  • im all wet n sweaty after watching that video. how pathetic

  • those fish look like theyre suffocating!!!

  • those fuckin redneckd need to play in traffic

  • that is how it is done. MAKES ME PROUD TO BE AN OKIE!!

  • Why does National Geographic post videos of saving large fish? They promote to save large fishes, but then post videos like this where they fish for large fishes for sport? I don't get it.

  • One thing I notice is that these fish aren't dead. They are caught live, stuck into live holding tanks, and then displayed live. Many of them are released.

  • I've seen noodlin' growing up in Tennessee... except that I never heard it called that. Here, we called it "graveling".

  • Called " hoggin' " in Central Illinois when I was a kid, long ago! It was not legal, then.

  • im gonna fuck your sister.

  • What a bunch of rednecks!

  • why do they call it noodling

  • i thought this was an illegal sport?

  • Why would it be?

  • PETA i thought they had outlawed the sport since it is cruelty to an animal, they prob would not have anything against if they actually ate the fish

    i "think" (lol) that OK state is the only one that it has not been outlawed

  • maybe in some states but not all... i personally think it should be ILLEGAL in ALL STATES

  • lol look at that oklahoma peckerwood with the tobacco in his mouth. but DAMN... noodling seems pretty badass and pretty damn challenging!

  • As dumb as I think this is, I will still give the people who do this respect because it takes some big nuts to noodle like that.

  • lol...all these comments are crackin' me up.

    Noodling has been around forever. It's just something we Okies do. It's actually illegal some places. :)

  • my frogsname is bob i otta beat ur ass

  • That's a king-size catfish! It could feed me for 3 months! I'm from Laos. We grill our Mekong River catfish in a fire pit.

  • I have to respect those guys, not anyone can do this. Good Sport, 24 hours for one big Catfish, it's hard work.

  • I used to believe in human evolution. Now? Not so much.

  • I hope they're grease release.

  • for all the people that dont eat fish/meat....im pretty sure that there is someone in your life that does so go give them some of your shit cuz we dont give a fuck

  • lol fuckin rednecks! they do the craziest shit!

  • HECK YEAH MAN!

  • 2:11 got chew...?

  • I'd hate to be one of those fish; that must be a really slow and uncomfortable death

  • poor fishes do they put them back in the water

  • noooo if you worked that hard would you release it? I wouldnt.

  • That's so fucking cruel.

  • Why ya eat the dang fish..it dont just sit there...These guys do it for food.

  • But it's wrong to use these lives as "food."

  • this isnt sport fishing, this is food fishing lol

  • It's about a bunch of noodlers touching their doodlers, I like it!

  • get a life enemigoscultos, go preach somewhere else this is fucking youtube

  • You don't have to read it if you don't like it! Go stink someone else!

  • i love fishing but i'm not a big fan of tournaments.i hope the fish are released back where they came from. and before i go is there a contest for the most CHEW a person can fit in their mouth and still talk ? my oh my that ol` boy loves chew.

  • when will the sport of "Poodling" going to emerge?

  • This seems hella fun. If I live their I'll be doing the same thing.

  • pretty neat stuff

  • Look at that tobacco wad. I bet his breath reeks.

  • I cant believe they are fishing in the water while its was raining. They are going to get wet with it raining outside while they are in the water.

    Geesh!!! I thought National Geographic was smarter then this.

  • i do not understand your comment at all

  • The narrator is saying they are in the water fishing. Then he says they are in the water while its raining like they are going to get all wet. THEY ARE ALREADY IN THE WATER! Really wont matter if it is raining or not they are getting wet in the water. Get it now?

  • well anytime there is heavy rain and you are in a river it creates a much stronger current.i'm pretty sure this is what he is referring to as it's fairly obvious they're are going to be wet.strong currents with murky water,debris and rocks is always dangerous. and of course if there is lightning it would be plain stupid to be in or around water and trees.

  • Maybe it will change, during a flood, after raining for several days! But, a little sprinkle, while you are in the water, is not likely going to change the status of the current very much at all. It takes a lot of rain to cause dangerous currents in most rivers. And, I have been swimming in many during rain in my lifetime.

  • AMEN !!! JUST GOIN OUT HAVIN FUN!

  • rednecks gone wild

  • What do they do to the fish afterwards

  • CHOW DOWN!!! LMAO

  • dam thats alot of meat

  • Noodling for Flatheads is a humorous and insightful book about unique aspect of southern culture. Cool video too

  • lots of big ass fish

  • red neck

  • eh....i wouldnt want to swim in that lake...

  • It's sad to see these fish being caught. I don't understand why people can't just leave these animals alone.

  • smokin a blunt lawl

  • your a fucking idiot its not a blunt its a black an mild dumb shit

  • fucking redneckss and spicks...

    "aahhlll a bannchh fraam oooh klaa homme aa"

    "sonnn yooo momma is mah sissttrr"

    fucking dicks

  • I would like to say that people here in oklahoma city arent's as bad as in the country... but no one would believe me :-(

  • Sounds like someone has a big superiority complex, likely undeserved. Shumdit! And I am from Illinois. Lived in Okie for a while and they were normal people like most of the rest of us, who lack your narcissistic personality traits.

  • nothing narcissistic about showing the reality of spicks and rednecks.

    Go cry in your stable with your horses and your sister/wife.

  • akny007

    My wife is 20, beautiful, years younger than me, and wants it every day. And I don't like horses for pets or sex partners.

    Obviously you are the expert on people you don't even know. Nice try loser.

  • Hey - I got nothing against Illinois. But when dumbfucks like these show their rudimentary lifestyle ]

    Then they wonder... "hmmm whyaa aree peeople nott frayndds widd usss?" while picking is his/her nose and scratching their butt.

  • Not sure why you insinuated that I said that you have a horse as a sex partner... thats just... wrong...

    Yeah you're right - I've dealt with many, "HIYAA IMMA FRAMM TAKE-SAS" people before - and they are complete idiots, let alone easy to converse with.

  • Because your other comments are so low and crude sounding. Using their terms you are lower than a sakes belly in a wagon rut! Making fun ow someone's dialect. What a lowlife. It's no different than the racists' making the fun of the way blacks talk. Not funny.

  • Black people > Southern Spicks

    we'll leave it at that

  • niigger

  • the fishermen tookderrjuurb

  • 2:20 ish what is wrong with that guys mouth? O_O

  • lol i think thats chewing tobacco

  • THAT MUCH?! O_O

  • there all a bunch of jews

  • You strike me as a douche.

  • it is.

  • i feel sorry for these fish.

  • Lol I'm from the south and find this embarrassing.

  • that is so easy

  • look at the size of the MC's dip...

  • Always wondered how often these guy found what theyre NOT looking for, snakes, alligators, snapping turtles, etc. if theyre just feeling around for those big cats.

  • oh we find them once in a while, just gotta be fast

  • Thank You For Sharing

    Very Enjoyable Video

  • white trash hill billys

  • Not all of us are white trash. LOL.

  • that was pretty kool...I would like to see that done with some of those monster cats @ like 100-150 lbs

  • question what keeps one of the noodlers from stuffing like 5 pound weights down the fishs mouth so that they win

  • Would like it better if they ate shit , drank piss, and talked like a bunch politically correct liberal bunny\tree hugging retards on the payroll of PETA and the HSUS?

  • Comment removed

  • Just curious, but where did you see anyone kill an animal on this video?

  • I sure hope they are not just catching the fish and then discarding it like trash. Besides, you are just quoting part of my comment which is very unprofessional and dishonest!

  • You're so unbelievably ignorant. You need to go to a world culture education program or something you moron.

  • let me tell you, I am already aware of many cultures around the world. I think that it is very sad that in this day and age, people still want to impose the view of one culture as the right one. Otherwise, I would not have mention the stereotypes U.S citizens often blurt out without thinking about other cultures and still expect others to accept theirs. They also have a double standards even with subcultures within your own culture. Remember Evonics/Spanglish? Still remains unaccepted by society

  • Ebonics/spanglish = too dumb to learn English.

  • actually you need to be very intelligent to know Ebonics plus English. Besides, before you know Spanglish, you need to know English, Spanish and then Spanish. I think you want to twist the facts here. There are plenty of credible sources and even and even textbooks and they affirm that these peoples brains are way more active than the brain of the general population. Is it really survival of the fittest or survival of the smartest? Just watch our puny politicians. They're surviving just fine

  • Street slang is a language now? Bullshit. Its ignorance masked behind political correctness. politicians support it because the ignorant who speak it will support them. Go to school. go to ENGLISH class, and pay attention. Then you wont need a translator to say whatever broken English your speaking is a "new" language.

  • Anakin1949, I am glad that you are finally showing your true colors. This has been my point all along. people like you have an obvious double standard for everything and think is O.K. On one hand you are unable to accept other subcultures way of speaking the English language and on the other hand you want us to be all hunky dorey with the language the Noodlers (another subculture) speak. If you don't believe me just look at your own comments about language. You have made my point. Thanks

  • I never said the way they spoke was correct. Dont put words in my mouth. The obvious point is that for all the "dumb redneck" comments on here at least they're not lazy or ignorant enough to try and say that their local dialect is a language comparable to English. Ebonics as a dialect....maybe. Ebonics as a officially taught language like, English, French, German... no way.

  • No one has even suggested that we should teach or make an official language out of Ebonics, Spanglish or noodling jargon. If you are unable to comprehend what a double standard is, you probably won't comprehend, the history, structure, syntax, and or how languages are born, develop, evolve, transfer, or even die. Furthermore, you probably have no idea how languages are chosen or declare an official language either.

  • Then your previous comments display yourself as a hypocrite!

  • Mlang52 call me a hypocrite if you want but I know that you did not read all of my comments. My very first post was deleted because of the noodlers thumbing me down and now you are unable to read it. It is pretentious and unfair on your part to judge me when you only have access to some of the story and not the whole story. With that said: Can you please stop "noodling" for conversation?

  • This is a story about a bunch of guys catching fish with their hands. How in the heck does it devolve to a conversation of language except through egotists who think they have all the answers. I guess a bunch of condescending bigots, (as I see in later comments, about the black race and Mexicans), love to judge everyone else. Pass out judgment and you will get judged yourself.  I just saw a bunch of guys out having fun. So many negative people here. Sorry they thumbed you down, Wonder why?

  • And how do you know it was the "noodlers" that thumbed you down? You are right, I cannot see your first conversation. But it is still easy to see the negativity coming out of your brain, in all the others. You get really condescending when you talk about them being unable to understand your syntax,...etc. While at the same time claiming "they" will not comprehend! I guess you did not call them ignorant. Or, did you? Now, I am done.

  • There really isnt a difference, however this is NOT a national sport. this is a very select part of the populous. These fish are actually caught in the most "humane" way possible, if there is such a thing. no hooks. If they do die after they are weighed, they are eaten. Food = circle of life. What happens to the bulls afterwards?

  • There is no such thing as humane killing.

  • lol fuck off tree hugger

  • This has nothing to do with hugging trees. Can't you read or understand English? It's got everything to do with your incapability to see beyond what's been presented to you. Has everything to do with your mindless and unquestioned acceptance of TV as reality. Behold LOL!

  • I wonder how they would feel, if I stick my hand down their throat? It so humane.

  • It's a fish.

  • So? Fish can feel pain, they form families, have lives just like us. Just because it's a fucking fish doesn't mean you should have the right to harm it.
