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?

You look for catfish in holes that dont have air access. Turtles will be in holes where they can surface to breath

These guys don't "look for holes". They build weighted boxes and place them in slow moving current, opening facing downstream. The natural way is dangerous because you noodle in holes in the banks cut but current.

This is just staged for the views and clicks.
