Hillbilly Handfishin’
Noodling(verb): the art of using your bare hands as hooks and feet as bait to catch giant fish.
Oklahoma natives the Bivins family have been “noodling” for enormous monster catfish for generations as far back as anyone can remember, and when the Oakie Noodling Fishing Tournament was established their unparalleled skill and tenacity for catching the very biggest of fish quickly took the competition by storm. Now with their newfound fame the family has decided to try and turn their passion into a business, inviting visitors from across the country and even across the globe to come fishing with the champs and try their hands (literally) at hooking a monster of their own!
Think you’re the next reality TV star? Would you like to be part of an amazing fishing expedition? Are you adventurous, and ready to leave behind your laptop, cell phone, and email for a week?

I would love to be on this show with my 3 sons, I’m 60, and they of course are grown..it would be a blessing to be able to do this with them..My younger 2 like to fish but never this way, and my oldest lol, he’s a pastor of a church on Maui and not really into getting into muddy water…lol it would be interesting indeed..

Hi Hillbilly Handfishin! My name is Caroline Spain and I would absolutely LOVE it if me and my bestfriend, Lauren Lacefield, could make it on your show. We are just two Arkansas girls that love fishin but we have never been handfishin before! In our spare time we are usually workin hard at Hooters giving people their beer & wings. It would be quite an experience with us two considering there is never a dull moment between us. Give us a chance to get away from this small town for a little bit and let us experience some hillbilly handfishin!! It will be a blast!
xoxo
Love,
Caroline & Lauren <3
