Like a foot wide big enough?
i've gotten a few while catfishing
Aw, don't hook em if you can avoid it
I always feel bad
they just find it in the water
i dont really want them
I try not to fish near them
Or I switch to the net
But most of them are too big and old to get "caught" either way
Liable to pull you in if you hooked one
i caught a catfish when I was a kid and before i hauled it up my brother warned me it has a defensive mechanism, and i fell for it thing cries just like a baby
lol
I had one stick me with the fin once
Never again
i fish in a pretty big river, so it doesnt happen that often, but if i leave bait in the water when catfishing, they will find it sometimes and get hooked
they dont sting up here
Lucky
Gotta grab them by the tail near me
well the kind in ontairo
They don't try to hurt you, but they can
@Deleted User You must not have big enough ones to worry about hooking them
you guys fish?
Count yourself lucky the elder ones have not found you
Not that much anymore
the small ones can get you, but the bigger ones arent as bad because their barbs or whatever usually become dull
Did not know that
serriously i will fight a badger with bare hands before i get near a snapping turtle
i saw a massive one in Minnesota once, just chilling on a rock. It looked like a freaking dinosaur
Because it is
^
They're smarter than you think
ever seen a badger fight a backhoe?
i have
Most of the ones in the park I visit know not to go after hooks
lol
I've seen one drag a duck under once. Granted, it wasn't a very big duck, but still
I've luckily never been in contact with a badger
The ducks avoid certain ponds for that reason
badgers are suuuuper dumb
More balls than brains?
