What happens when a group of bustling city dwellers and suburbanites travel to rural Oklahoma for some good ole’-fashioned handfishin’? More often than not, the experience alters their lives and sends each newly crowned noodler home with fish tales to tell long after his or her catfish excursion ends. Thanks to the expertise of self-proclaimed hillbillies and expert hand fishermen Skipper Bivins and Jackson, a lucky group of out-of-towners prepare to embark on the adventure of a lifetime, to catch catfish with their bare hands and feet. Longtime friends Andrew, 38, and Matt, 37, want to show the Bivins crew that savvy, gay men from Charleston, South Carolina, can noodle just as well as anyone else! This career-driven duo is ready to leave behind the stylish city and fears about handfishing to live the simple life for a few days. Midwestern moms from Wichita, Kansas, Alexis and Lissa, 32, are as outdoorsy as they come. The gals enjoy fishing, camping and off-roading and hope their country upbringing will give them an advantage in the water. Will these young mothers be able to live up to their promise of reeling in the biggest catfish? Fairfax, Virginia firefighters Josh, 27, and Jon, 30, are no strangers to the adrenaline rush of an emergency call, but these tough guys might not have the same confidence in the muddy waters of Oklahoma. With more experience out in the wilderness, Josh is convinced he will out-noodle Jon. However, with Skipper’s help and his thick city skin, he can prove to his friend and co-worker that his catfish capabilities can’t be beat.
