The Congressional Catfish Noodler

Since the dawn of the election process, politicians have been trying to convince voters that they share a bond with their constituents from how they think to the activities they participate in. This has never been more true than when Wisconsin Congressional Representative Paul Ryan told news sources about his love of the sport of catfish noodling in interviews about his personal life.


"We walk around banks looking for holes," he told the New York Times. "And you get your hand inside the fish and they kind of - they come up on your hand. And then you just squeeze where ever you are on the fish  and pull it out. I know it sounds a little crazy, but it's really exhilarating."
