I'll never understand the South. Take, for instance, its idea of fishing. You don't need a rod and reel - just dive into the murky water (!) and grab yourself a catfish with your two hands.
Here's a tribute video of attractive Girls Gone Grabblin' - catfish grabblin (or noodling, if you want to call it that): Link
And now, I am hungry. You realize, it's nearly impossible to get gator tail, cheese grits, or fresh catfish in England, right? Gator tail is an exotic delicacy here, cheese grits a mystery, and catfish a bottomfeeder that I believe they think only the French would eat. ;)

Maybe the reason us Floridians don't know much about noodling is because we might run into a gator instead of a catfish. Anyhow, I salute you and here's to alligator nuggets, crab boils, cheese grits and fresh catfish caught by hot chicks in bikinis! If anyone can't "understand" that then too bad for them...
