Texas trying to catch up to Oklahoma

[Mississippi Sooner]

The Texas legislature is sending a bill to the governor's desk that would legalize noodling.

They are so backwards in Texas.

About damn time!

I was getting tired of driving across the bridge to get my fix.


what an enormous waste of time. Can the need really be that great that they even need to talk about such things?

[Mississippi Sooner]

Real men don't needs hooks to catch fish. They use their bare hands!

[yermom]

it's illegal?

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

If a person is willing to take that big a risk with his/her life, they should have the possibility of being rewarded with a fish or 2.

it's illegal?

In Texas it has been. Punishable by a $500 fine.

Is a fine really necessary? Isn't getting bit by snapping turtles, snakes, beavers, and catfish enough?

That's what I'm sayin'. When I lived in Oklahoma I knew this old Chickasaw man who had been noodling his whole life. His arms, from about the elbows down to his hands, were white from all the scar tissue build up. I do love me some catfish, but I ain't willing to shed my own blood for them.

it's illegal?

That was my first thought. Why even make a law banning it in the first place?

That was my first thought. Why even make a law banning it in the first place?Maybe the reasoning was that it's not "sporting", or some such terminology, by the Dept. of Fish and Game.
