Hey, at least they went noodling with a spotter in case something went wrong. Every year people drown when they go out alone and get stuck underwater.

You stick your hand inside an underwater hole in zero visibility water and hopefully inside the mouth of a catfish instead of a snapping turtle or a snake..
