Glad they have hunting seasons on them here.
As for noodling, the DNR has posted in the fishing regulations basically making it legal here.
An employee of ours from Oklahoma asked if we noodle around here. My responce was only if your an idiot, between the moccasins, alligators and (threatened) alligator snapping turtles.
There ain't no way I'm wading around in the tea colored water and sticking my hand under boat ramps, in stump holes or river washouts.

Thanks for the pics, Spare. That was one big ol' gator.

Noodling? It's INSANE!

Re: Another Gator
 

I would bet money that ol' Stinky Hooker knows somebody that is a noodler. ;D ;D

Re: Another Gator
 

I know of some noodlers, but I'm not related to any.
