Hollywood<\/strong> comes to Oklahoma<\/strong>, again<\/em>….. There’s been lots of parts of movies, and, even complete movies like “Twister”<\/strong> made in Oklahoma<\/em><\/strong>, but, I don’t know if they’re on the right track with this one or not…… They’re already here and filming in Pauls Valley<\/strong>, a small town on I-35<\/strong> south of Oklahoma City<\/strong>….. The movie is supposed to have a plot based on a young girl trying to get out of a small country town, but, it is based around the Oklahoma<\/strong> cult sport<\/em> of “Noodling”<\/strong> or more commonly known as “Okie Noodling”<\/strong>….. Anon<\/strong> knows what I’m talking about….. It’s not the smartest sport in the World, believe me<\/em>…..<\/p>\n

Here’s all you got to do: <\/strong> Find<\/strong> a creek, stream, or river<\/em>, usually muddy<\/em> and with lots of nooks and crannies<\/em> along it’s banks, usually covered with tree growth and underbrush…… These are basically small underwater caves<\/em> cut in the banks just under the surface by the water flow….. Huge Catfish<\/strong> (40 to 70 lbs. or more) love to hang out in them, along with who knows what<\/em>….. Then, just JUMP IN!<\/strong> – stick<\/em> your arm in the hole, locate the catfish, STICK YOUR HAND AND ARM DOWN IT’S THROAT<\/strong>, wrestle<\/em> it out of the water, and throw<\/em> it in a boat – That’s it<\/strong> – Nothing to it….. No fishing poles, lines, bait or gear of any kind required! (including brains)<\/em>…..<\/p>\n

PBS<\/strong> has already done a special on “Okie Noodling”<\/strong> a few years back….. Just can’t wait for this one to make the theaters….. I’m sure Oklahoma<\/strong> will be honored with at least a few pages in “The Great Redneck History of the U. S. of A.”<\/strong>…… Yee-Ha!<\/em>……<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
