Earlier this year, The New York Times enlightened this redneck to the sport, if you want to call it that, of “noodling” for catfish. Now I’ve learned that there is a noodling tournament in Oklahoma.

I wanna go. I don’t wanna noodle, but I wanna go. This year’s event is two days from now, so that’s out of the question. But I’m putting the noodling tournament on my redneck to-do list for the future.
