I've always wondered how dwarves fish without a rod. Now I know: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zc_huHb4PMc

[Taritus]

It's called noodling.  It's illegal in a number of states in the US for some reason or other.

[Phantom]

They fish with their beards dangit.

[Psychoceramics]

i'd say it's the fact that to catch a fish, you use your arm as bait.

maybe its a safety reason? i dunno, but if you're catching fish that big theres a risk that you could get dragged under if you're a bit on the small size/ on uneven footing, that and that you could get severely bitten depending on the local fish

In DF, "Local Fish" = Carp. Carp = Death.

And the fact that catfish holes don't always hold catfish.

Unwittingly sticking your hand into the mouth of an alligator... probably won't end well. 

[Albedo]

 

Fishing like a dwarf

...and immediately I thought "What? Someone discover dynamite?"

[Puck]

It's called noodling.

Where I come from, this would translate to ... letting your wang dangle in the water and hope something bites 

Penisbait - yikes.

Unless you try to catch mermaids 

[MuonDecay]

It's called noodling.  It's illegal in a number of states in the US for some reason or other.

If I remember right, it's illegal because of how unsporting/excessively effective it is. The catfish are suckers for noodling, it's really brainlessly easy.

This is apparently a very easy way for one person to catch a large number of big catfish in a short timeframe. Anything that makes it that easy for people to deplete a local fish stock is something that makes the Dept. of Fish and Game very apprehensive.

[Beanchubbs]

And that's exactly why dwarfs do that. 
The elves are basically like the Dept. of Fish and Game and the dwarves are basically giving them the bird.

[Rowanas]

Mwhehe. I like the idea of elven traders coming and your dwarf sitting down with the ambassador all seriously and with great gravity, then proceeding to perform every known manner of flipping an elf the bird until the elf storms off.

[Hyndis]

Flipping the bird = pulling a lever.
