| User ReviewCheating tIf you thought documentaries were boring, check this one out. I couldn't keep my eyes off of the screen. I can't believe this is real. |
| User ReviewCaleb CA fascinating documentary. The addition of music from the Flaming Lips makes this a must for any fan of there's or fishing in general. This is about the most fearless trend seeking fishermen who have no boat, no hooks, and no bait. This somewhat of a cult sport has become something that is more rare. This might not be for everyone though, and it wil be a more aquired taste. I can see that anyone who likes fishing or The Flaming Lips, will love this one. |
| User ReviewMegan BJon and I liked this documentary. It reminded me of my little brother. |
| User ReviewBertha NHand fishing at its finest...the shallow end of the gene pool. |
| User ReviewRandy TMuch of the footage was shot right here in my hometown of Pauls Valley, Oklahoma at the world's oldest (and perhaps ONLY) noodling tournament. Mildly interesting. |
| User ReviewShantell PSomewhat entertaining documentary about people who fist fish. |
| User ReviewSteve Ka strange and but riveting documentary that keeps you saying "What!??". Man vs. fish. Fingers vs. teeth. The winner gets dinner. Lots of red neck pride and beer can bravado. |
| User ReviewMurray SI guess I just didn't find it particularly compelling..? |
