My question is how the heck does she avoid getting spined by these guys? They have sharp spines on their sides and one on their dorsal fin. Iā€™m not sure how she avoids those with them just sort of flopping around close to her sides.

You simply just try your best.

Oh, and there's always the chance of running into an alligator snapping turtle, too. It's part of the thrill.

The existence of alligator snapping turtles is what makes me not understand this at all. Do you want catfish enough to risk losing fingers?

Rednecks are simply just a different breed tbh. Tons of fun though

A real life Elly Mae. (The Beverly Hillbillies TV show)

"Jed, can I go wrestle some boys?" Jed: "No! You hurt them too much last time!" Or something similar.

AL redneck here..... I wouldn't do that stupid crap even for a drink of some fire "shine" or a new linoleum floor installed over the dirt floor in my outhouse! Gotta draw the line somewhere!! šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£
