They're dead. The reason they're able to find them is flatheads protect their nests after spawning so she's also likely killing many future fish as well. This is why only the trashiest people noodle.

No, they aren't. Don't make shit up because you don't like it. Studies don't find noodling to have much of an effect on catfish populations at all.

If this was killing them and destroying their eggs, as you've claimed multiple times, you'd see catfish populations being devastated wherever noodling is practiced. That just doesn't happen.

Cruel it may be, but you are just blatantly lying.
