Seems like the hillbilly, white trash humpie snaggers on the Snohomish should take some lessons from these proffesional 'snatchers'! Catfish Snagging

Time to stir the pot! It seems that BB members are either perpetuating the stereotype that hillbillies, rednecks, trash, etc are all snaggers or are peering down from an upper caste in the ridiculous hierarchy of fishing methodology.
I got to witness this type of fishing last year. And as par for the course, 10 percent of the snatchers got 90 percent of the fish. Sound familiar? Maybe it takes more skill and know-how than we think. I'd like to see one of you naysayers bring your Loomis and Abu 6500 down to one of these tailraces, then hook into a 90-lb blue and count how fast a drag can melt!

What other methods do they employee to catch these bottom dwellers? One might do just as well with a plunked bait, like sturgeon fisherman on the Columbia.

In that part of the country they also wrestle the big cats...no ****. They learn the holes in the river where the big cats lairs are, like undercut banks and old logs etc., and reach in and grab 'em. Then the fight is on! I'll se if I can find a weblink for that.

Ratherbfishin, ive seen that too. if i remember they would anchor open ended 50 gallon barrels to attract the cats then go back later and dive down there and wrestle them out, it was really cool watching them thrashing around and trying to toss them up into the boat. some of the cats were almost as big as the guys trying to hold on to them.

Arklier-- I spent time in Arkansas as a teenager, which is where I learned about the noodlers. The rivers were were loaded with snapping turtles and we would often pull up our lines to find bent hooks. Shooting turtles with a .22 was just a way to pass time for most of the kids I knew. Saw cottonmouths almost every time we went fishing, which was all the time.
Makes chasing Steelies and Salmon seem like a pretty safe sport! :p
