Mudcats

Have you ever stuck your hand inside the mouth of a 50-pound flathead catfish and invited it to chomp down? That might sound like just another exaggerated fish story, but it’s actually how Oklahoma compete with each other in an effort to showcase the best “mudcatters” – these men have learned the ways of from their fathers and grandfathers, and who have every intention of passing the tradition down to their sons and daughters and grandchildren. The drive to be the best runs deep.
