a noodle
A weird way of fishing where some idiot sticks his foot in a lake, feels around like a blind mole, and hopes a fish bites his finger. If it's not a fish, it's a turtle or a snake.
@fishingman: I lost my finger to a snapping turtle and now I have a hole in my hand.
@fisher: My noodling ended with me getting bit by a water moccasin and I died.
@lake: I noodled all day and only got a fish that was half-dead.
