We always did it for fun and released everything. We also dug out beds in winter when river was down and make maps of them all. Make sure the holes slope up and can't hold air pockets. Bad things can be found inside if it holds air. Lots of older folks used a short stick with an orange ribbon on both ends and a big treble only on one end. They would stay in the boat probing the river banks for holes and if one was there, it would hit the ribbon. Then just put the other end in the hole. These were mostly older folks hunting meat. I've seen guys use the stick to find them, and then go grab them. I've not seen the hook used in 40 years or so.
When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.

If you gonna always be spooked by stuff you can't see you'll never make it down here. We got half a dozen snakes that can send you to the ER, and another three dozen that can give the skeered a coronary, gators, two kinds of snappers, catfish as big as a grown man, gars that can get as big or bigger. Our water is mud brown or black, we got vegetation that resembles jungles. If you can't handle that then stay in the air conditioning.
BTW, our younguns run barefoot through most of that. Exactly Can't remember which varmint it was, either beaver or nutria, that an old timer told me his buddy got ahold of noodling, went up his arm biting repeatedly.

Must be a lot of brave people down South that count in units of 8 or 9 because they lack a few fingers then?
