Never had them. They almost sound like southern catfish. They can get big, but the ones that I have had tended to be the smaller commercially grown ones. The big ones are sometimes caught using a technique called "Noodling". It almost sounds like a technique that an Aussie would use. You could look it up, or I could give you some links. That is one way of fishing that I will probably not ever do.

I've seen noodling on TV, we've evolved past that.

I was thinking more along the lines of a "Good old boy" but I do not know the proper Australian slang. If he was not so angry he might be an appropriate candidate:

Excellent. Take a look at this guy, he even has a mullet. Now you tell me that he would not stick his fingers under a rock and "noodle" them if he thought that he could catch one of these:

This guy has paid the price, I hear it is common with noodling:

I doubt the bogan could bend over enough, even if he could he'd spill his beer and get his good t-shirt muddy, so no.

Noodling for moray eels shows guts

Oh, this is why Australians do not go noodling for catfish. This poor man seems to be embarrassed by his catch and I do not blame him:

I guess it is the same reason that you do not hear us brag about our kangaroos:

Though they do seem seem to hold their own against venomous snakes:
