well they do in a old sports craze that has been rediscovered in the States, the art of noodling, it takes the gentle practice of trout tickling to new heights with the fish biting on human flesh, the noodlers find catfish in the holes where they live and insert their arms, which the fish latch on to with their teeth, it is then an often violent battle to bring the fish, which can weigh up to 60lbs, to the surface, and hey presto catfish for supper!
however there are a few downsides to noodling, firstly is it a catfish, alligator, snapping turtle, muskrat, beaver or snake? also do not go in over your head, if the water is too deep and you are hoping to pull the fish out in one breath it can come as a bit of a shock to find the fish is stronger than you and you can not get that second breath! nope, for me I will stick at a rod and line!
