The Barnyard

No thanks on that.

No, my thoughts exactly, but can't help stopping on it when I am scrolling through channels!

the danger would not be so much from a fish chomping on you. nor from snakes or gators, though that is not impossible, but turtles, snapping turtles specifically, will take some fingers from you if you shove them into their habitat. a life time of hand fishing would probably leave you a couple of digits short of ten

you know what they say - there's a fine line between hardcore and fool

it probably helps to have a suitcase of pbr before you try too. it tends to blur the line

While I have absolutely no interest in putting my hands in a hole underwater to find out what is in there, I know someone who used to. My mom was born in Louisiana and although the oldest, she was the runt of the litter( 5'1") of 10 siblings. According to my mother, her younger brothers used to think it was funny to use mom as a human lure, and hold her by the legs and shove her into the hole in the side of the bank,fists first, with her arms stuck out in front of her.She swears that there were catfish caught in the 80 lb range this way and I have 2 uncles that confirmed their shenanigans.This was on the banks of the Mississippi River just on the edge of Baton Rouge near where the bridge for I-10 goes to Lafayette.She also said the most scared she ever was in her life was coming nose to nose with a snapping turtle of about the same size while underwater there.
