It was running from a dog and fell into a window well. It got so panicked when I climbed down it almost made it out on it’s own (it was about 8 feet deep). So I set the opening of the bucket against the wall with a small gap, to give it somewhere to hide, then went to the other end of the window well, and it crawled right in when I approached again. Covered it with a towel and lifted it right on out.
I caught a sailcat catfish at night at the beach by hand (no gear). I have also caught some snook, bluegill, blue catfish and bass by hand but it was in a small lake that was drying up and overheating.
Ah, I guess I misinterested. I thought you were talking about that weird tradition I’ve seen where people catch giant catfish by shoving their arms down the mouth. Apparently that’s called “noodling”.
And looking up noodling most people wear gloves. They get a pretty bad wrist rash from the catfish biting them.
I caught a (wild) rabbit with a bucket.

That’s cool but don’t delete. Because it’s cool.

I had a question about that. I caught a little catfish with a hook, and that sumbitch gave me a bite that hurt like hell. Teeth like a hacksaw.
Now, how do you shove your arm down a catfish mouth and survive?
It’s pretty simple. Dont put your hands where there’s sharp things. I grabbed the sailcat by its tail. Catfish whiskers also have barbs.
