@@nickjreacts brits would love it. its a mild flaky white fish that is frequently fried. its usually jazzed up with hot sauce or a nice creole seasoned remoulade which is mayo, mustard, hot sauce, and spices. hot sauce gives it the vinegary tang brits love and the creole seasoning gives it taste.
I'm in Indiana, part of the Midwest, so I have no experience noodling like my southern fam... But we still fish, clean, and cook catfish, bass, bluegill, turtle and whatever else we catch, on a campfire all the time.
Hey Nick! Catfish Noodling as is bare handed catching fish as shown in this video is a very old ancient way of fishing that was done by Native Americans and was passed on the practice to European Settlers also known by Native Americans as "The White Men"
I grew up up on the Water My Uncle Toby taught me how to Fly fish and to Noodle we did it Old School not sitting out boxes just putting your hands up Old Cyprus trees... Old School Noodling 😉👍❤️
All catfishes in the family Ictaluridae have venomous spines. That includes blue, channel, flathead, bullhead, and madtom catfishes. I don't know of any freshwater catfishes native to the United States that are not Ictalurids.
Nick My Friend I was Born and raised in the South . The people and the food is different and yes real country boys do Noodle for Catfish . It is crazy but a family tradition. I hope someday you will come to America 🇺🇸 hopefully the South My Friend. .😉👍❤️
They are scary. Because I was told to NOT stick my finger into a catfish's mouth. My dad told me not to do that before he took a picture of me with said catfish. After it was cleaned, it became soup. Though I also enjoy them breaded and fried. Better than salmon, tuna,tilapia and trout. 100 times better than cod and halibut combined too.
Don't get me wrong. JOLLY is one of my favorite channels. But this video can't hold a candle to the Hannah Barron catfish noodling videos. That girls lands some real monster fish. 🐟
@nickjreacts 50-70 pounds. About twice the size of the one Ollie caught. As well Hannah Barron is 5'2" and she is catching 50#+ fish. Also her method is a lot easier to understand. Her videos will blow your mind mate.
Not sure how I missed this upload..TH-cam has been weird for me lately. Glad it popped up for me...sorry I am so late. Thank you for another great reaction. I really do love your content and look forward to it. 😊
Not all Noodling is done this deep. There are underwater areas next to the backs that have Catfish hiding in them and you can noodle them while still being head above water. Using these special made "houses" for the Catfish to occupy is another more complicated method for catching catfish.
Oh man, that alarm thing can be a major trigger during the weekend or on vacation or something. You gotta switch it up, bro! I like to wake up to music. Not the radio. You can’t control what’s on that. Music you like. Something soft is just as effective as something loud as long as the volume is up. It’ll stop the weird stress trigger from that sound, which everyone uses.
I'm from Alabama and I love my fried catfish the catfish is breaded what's cornmeal I'm from Alabama and we love our fried catfish the breading is cornmeal
I live in America but I’m afraid of alligators and definitely snakes. But I live in Ohio and we don’t have alligators but do have snakes. I don’t like catfish.
I been catching and eating catfish all my life. I actually never knew they had a toxin on their fin barbs. I googled it just to be sure cause I know Ollie is one to exaggerate.
Asking a southerner if they've ever had catfish before is like asking a Brit if they've ever had tea.
It’s something that I need to try then
This!

Captain Josh is the quintessential southern man. Just a good ol dude you can count on, but you wouldnt want to cross.
You should check out Hannah Barron catfish noodling
💯 she is the Gold Standard for Noodling videos.
Snakes and snapping turtles are the worry....loggerhead Snapping Turtles scare the shit out of me....
Catfish is one the only 2 fish this Southerner enjoys eating (salmon being the other)
He didn’t think it was heavy because the other guy was holding it 😂
Catfish are native to my area, North Alabama and specifically in the Tennessee River. Love them breaded and fried. So tender.

I love catfish, excellent fried. I have caught many and only saltwater catfish have venomous fins...not all species. And I highly doubt these do.

Catfish is a very unique fish... hearty, meaty with a strong flavor. And... DELICIOUS when breaded and fried! Yum!
Catfish fresh , the best

Nick, snakes can swim.
Oh I know that.. I think that’s why I don’t like getting in water that’s not a swimming pool or bath lol

I would love to try it then! If it’s better then Cod
@@nickjreactsEven Gordon Ramsey himself said it. I agree with him.
From one southerner to another, do you think it's better than crappie?
@@nickjreactsWay better than Cod.

I’ve got respect for them trying it but how big do catfish get

Catfishing has a different meaning on social media.
I think the term came from that....

Catfish is earthy. It's a bottom feeder so if you never had it, you may or may not like. The key is is a good seasoning.
So nothing like cod then, I would be interested to try it though
Pretty small catfish

Catfish is awesome!!
I live in America but I’m afraid of alligators and definitely snakes. But I live in Ohio and we don’t have alligators but do have snakes. I don’t like catfish.
So some places don’t have alligators
@@nickjreacts alligators are in most of the southern states.
I'm chill around snakes but I do NOT do well is when others are panicking around me because it's harder to stay calm.
Check out Hannah Barron catfish noodling.
Some states just made fishing with air against the law .
Caught some on a line. Have known a noodler. Tastes fine wild, but a bottom feeder. Farm raised catfish is better.
I been catching and eating catfish all my life. I actually never knew they had a toxin on their fin barbs. I googled it just to be sure cause I know Ollie is one to exaggerate.
Wow all your life, it does look like a lot of fun
These are pretty small catfish.
Catfish is the best tasting fish in the world.
Have you noticed that we Americans must be more accustomed to dealing wth a bit more natural "dangers" that most of our friends in the world?
L3WG no wait nevermind.
