Hillbilly Handfishin'

Hillbilly Handfishin' is the Animal Planet reality series where people get a taste of the redneck lifestyle by going catfish noodling. Noodling is fishing for catfish, using only your bare hands. Noodlers put their hands underwater to try to tempt the catfish who live in holes and brush in rivers and lakes, and when they latch on to their hand, they hook their arm through the gills and fight the large and extremely strong fish. Now some people are looking for the trip of a lifetime in Hillbilly Handfishin', where clients head on a uniquely redneck fishing trip with Oklahoma hand-fisherman and self-proclaimed hillbilly Skipper Bivins. These folks try to catch these huge fish with no lures or bait, except for your own fingers and toes, which also look tasty to the snakes, snapping turtles, and other creatures which often take over abandoned catfish holes. Join in with these folks as they take on the life-altering challenge of temping the dangerous waters to fight for catfish, in Animal Planet's series Hillbilly Handfishin'. MORE
