These Aquasphere goggles are the best pair of noodling goggles I have. You want to make sure to have a clear lense goggle for noodling to give you the best clarity. I like these because they give you the same field of view bigger profile goggles, but without the nose piece. I have found that the nose piece goggles tend to fog up the lenses a lot more than the Aquaspheres.

Once you get the catfish out of the hole and to the surface a landing net is very useful to throw the fish in. Once they get to the surface they often roll around a lot, so having a net to put them in decreases the chance you miss them. With this net I will just take the pole off and swim around with the actual net.

If you want a little protection from those sandpaper teeth, any pair of gardening gloves will help. I like these because they fit tightly to your hands. If the glove is too loose the catfish can bite it off, which results in you loosing a glove and a big fish!

I didn't have my scale on me and it doesn't go above 50 lbs.... How big do you think she is?

[stevenwilliams]

40-50lbs i wish the water in my 100 mile radius was that clear. My water looks like chocolate milk, I've also caught turles that out weigh that fish. Turtles with legs 2 inches wide and claws to match. Heads big enough to swallow my fist. Literally have had them so big they float a whole net up to the surface. NE Arkansas here

I’m not sure how tall you are but if you’re average height I would say that’s at least 30 lbs.
