Video: The girl uses her hand to catch giant catfish

While some people choose to fish, the girl in the video below uses her hands to catch giant catfish.

In the video posted on YouTube, the girl named Hannah dove into the muddy lake. A few seconds later, she rose to the surface with a bright smile and a large catfish in her hand. Most of the girl's right arm was in the "water monster" mouth and her hand was in its gills.

Hannah was congratulated by the surrounding people after she bravely used her own hands as bait for catfish.

The method of using arms as bait to catch fish is a sport not for the faint of heart. It requires fishermen to whip their arms around the catfish's nest and if all goes according to plan, the fish will grab the arm as a defensive measure and the baitman can catch it.

The video appears to be filmed in the US and appeared on YouTube on June 12. So far, the video has attracted nearly 1 million views.
