I just learned that hogging catfish is illegal in Missouri and really cannot understand why. If this law is ever enforced then half of the people in my home county will starve to death.

If I recalll correctly the powers that be did a trial season a few years back. Not sure why it didn’t stick.

I never knew anyone that noodles in Missouri. My dad worked for the Foreat Service and I grew up on the rivers catching catfish but always trollies, jugs, or a rod/reel. My dad lives on the Lake of the Ozarks and when I go there and the Osage River, I've never seen anyone noodling.

I believe that here in Oklahoma, it's probably the most common place to do it, but it's still very few and far between.

Seems like this sport, like Mountain Goat hunting, would be pretty self limiting

I'm not really worried about people hogging catfish. Its people like Alxtiger hogging crappie with their military-grade sonar machines.

I have no idea. Auto correct. Supposed to be trotlines.

I know tons of Okie rednecks. Been out hog hunting where it's running dogs. Then lassoing the hogs and a knife to the jugular while wrestling them. People that will do damn near anything--and I'd be hard pressed to get 2-3 guys to go out noodling.

It's a dying (dead) method.

Missouri does a pretty good job of managing the resources. I have hogged for them in La. My problem is folks especially where I grew up in Louisiana would remove a boat load of big spawning females. Im glad it’s outlawed in Missouri .
