If I asked you, do you fish? And you reside on planet earth...
your response might be, why of course I fish. Then if I asked
howits gets interesting real quick.  Take the folks in the
southern United States that fish with there handsits called
noodling. The fisherperson simply reaches into a catfish hole
and hopes the catfish latches on and is hoisted to shore. In
Great Britain it's called trout ticking. You slowly rub the
trout's stomach, numbing it abit, and toss it ashore.  I don't
know if this is legal anymore but in days of old they had trout
binningâ. Large rocks were slammed with a sledge hammer in a
river. The force of the blow stunned the fish long enough for a
fisherman to scoop them out of the river.  Free divingâ is
still practiced in many places. You simply scuba dive or snorkel
to the bottom of the ocean with a basket and grab onto any
shellfish you might find.
