I've been fishing in Florida with some "good ole' boys" and we actually got too drunk to fish. Do you realize how drunk you have to be so that you can no longer operate a complicated device like a cane pole? Yeah....that drunk... on...you guessed it....Budweiser.

On a bike? BWAHAHAAHA, I bet it screamed. Rabbits do.
Noodling is a lot of fun but most people that do it all of the time are missing at least part of one finger. Some holes have aligator snapping turtles in them.

yeah, sorry man, but you win, hands down. cuz Im sure you have more stories lol
I have done that. Holding a light and baiting a worm while the outside is spinning sucks. I kept saying that the world was spinning and my buddies kept telling me no s***.
My grandpa had a problem with the squirrels and rabbits in his garden so he ran a line off his neighbors electric horse fence 1 foot off the ground down the main aisle in the garden and tied rags covered in peanut butter on it. It worked well on the critters. Whenever we (me, my sis & the cousins) we out picking raspberries to make jelly, occasionally we would zap our shins, It hurt alot. After awhile I became virtually immune to the zap, so I would put my shin against the wire and touch whoever i could to zap them.
haha trust me it is a sound that I will never forget. sorta like "bwagahhhhkk!!!" Im not positive, but Im pretty sure the chicken lived to cross that road another day too.
ooh and another quick one, the local ponds that we fish (not really a redneck area, but fished by rednecks for sure) have been renamed beaver ponds because of a HUGE beaver that lives in the corner of the one pond. (we have since named him Wally). Its fun to send newbs to the area where he lives, cuz when you get really close he freaks out and smacks his tail on the water. One kid jumped so much he fell in the pond, scared the fish but totally worth it for a good laugh....
lol nice...
basicaly you find a nice pond and get some powerful flash lights, worms and polls you don't even really need jig poles just a stick with some string and a hook preferably barbless...drink some cheap beer until it gets pitch black out... none of that city at night crap you need it to be woods black... then take the flash lights and put a couple spots about 10-20ft from shore and toss your worm hooks out and then wait for the cat fish to suck em up... pull and either walk em back or if you are lucky enough to have a reel reel em in...
we had a blast doin that as kids almost a gauranteed fish fry after the fact as well if some one was sober enough to not hurt themselves with the fryer... lol

"real" bait?? we usually are fishing in a pond that is surrounded by woods so you just have a shovel or some boots and kick some of the decaying leaves and debris away till you find a bug/worm/grub/newt/salamander big enough to poke with a hook and toss it out there the cat fish will eat anything!
I mean the stuff you buy in the jars in bait shops. I don't use it normally, I go with your methods. Find what is lying around.... As a kid, I actually had what I called my worm boards. They were all skids that I left purposely in a field, if I needed worms, I would just go pull them up...especially great after a rain....
haha that sounds like some good ol fashioned fun
It works well... especially with a thick (2" or more) board. It keeps the ground moist underneath. The more surface area the better too, make sure it is about 1.5" - 2" deep...worm / larva heaven!
don't know about down there but pretty much any time it rains in the summer you just go out and grab all the night crawlers (what we call big ass worms) off the hot moist pavement... just gotta fight the birds and rodents for em... or if you live near a swamp/wetlands if it rains the road is covered with all the frogs.. just grab some of the smaller ones and you got lrg mouth and pickerel bait... eels as well or land locked salmon will go after it... heard a togue (lake trout) will take one as well but i have never seen it. togue are some of the most borring fish to catch either ice fishing (which is native for drinking out on the ice) or regular you just sit there and either troll or jig a line that is 100+ feet long... they are big but its like hauling up a piece of trash...
