They get that big here magazine, and Sports Afield magazines, and heard of them at the dams, and such. Supposed to be some in Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee, etc. Used to get some pretty darn big ones down here in the canals. 20lbs and up. No thanks you can do all the noodling you want. You don't stick your hand in a hole down here. You might not get it back! Or you might have something hanging on with a nice big pair of fangs locked in it!
I'll use a rod and reel thank you.
