I'd actually done it years ago in a river but not with scuba gear---we swam down and stuck our hand under a rock in the middle of the river and they ate your fingers. I would NEVER think about doing it like you see on tv where the guys/girls

stick their hands in a hole in the bank of a river. That's where all the snapping turtles/snakes live!
We even took the girls down to the bottom with us while we were scuba diving. Let them breathe off our tank with the 2nd regulator and we towed them around so they could see all the bass/catfish/etc. down there. All of them said it was one of the coolest things they've ever done! Stacy's girlfriend (Casey) "caught" one of the smaller catfish on the last hole!
So.....who wants to go noodling for groupers??
