Let me tell you all about this. Cover your fist real good. You can use bait or peanut butter with corn flakes mixed in with it. Stick your hand in the water. Then punch the catfish or grab him or, do whatever.
There you go. Teach a man to fish

I'm pretty sure that's called noodling, which is funny because it sounds kind of homoerotic. Like Jousting but with wet noodles.

From Wikipedia:
Noodling is a southern US practice of fishing for catfish using only bare hands. Many other names, such as catfisting, grabbling, graveling, hogging, dogging, gurgling, tickling and stumping, are used in different regions for the same activity. Noodling is currently legal in eleven states.
So you're both right, but HARDKORE made me laugh harder. Although on further reading of Wikipedia it seems like HARDKORE is proposing an altogether different way to go about it.
To begin, a noodler goes underwater to depths ranging from only a few feet to up to twenty feet, placing his hand inside a discovered catfish hole. If all goes as planned, the catfish will swim forward and latch onto the fisherman's hand, usually as a defensive maneuver in order to try to escape the hole. If the fish is particularly large, the noodler can hook the head around its gills.

Twenty feet is a pretty significant depth to be hanging around waiting for catfish for any appreciable period of time.

No, you don't wait for the catfish, you break into his house and get him to bite you.

It was on dirty jobs. Dunno if that popularized it or what but it was the first I'd heard of it.

Its been around for a while. I have seen it a few times. I have not actually tried it. Shooting a bow at a fish is harder then it looks.

I never imagined it to be easy, but then, I suck at archery.

But the question we should all be asking is, why go cat fist/fish-ing? Because really... catfish taste like dirt, even when you like eating . aquatic animals

Eating fish, No way Jose. I remember the stomach pumping the last time I ate fish. I am not doing that again.
I think it is more of a macho thing. People wanting to see who is better. Even the simplest things can be made into a compaction.

I saw Bear do this on Man Vs. Wild.
And I think Les Stroud either did it or attempted it in an episode of Survivorman.
