Politico Goes on a Beaver Hunt

As Politico‘s Patrick Gavin noted in a story this week, we learned Mitt Romney‘s VP pick, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) is a noodler. Noodling, also known as handfishing, involves shoving your hand into an underwater, abandoned badger hole and letting a catfish bite you so that you can catch it without a line and a hook. It seems like exciting stuff, but you have to possess a certain amount of crazy to do it. In the story are several references to the badger holes in which the fish hide out.
