Kyle Nagley estimates he's caught about 500 fish in his sewer drain.
There's a grand tradition in Texas of going down to the old fishing hole, but sometimes the fishing hole isn't the pastoral setting that comes to mind.
Kyle Nagley, 16, has pioneered and some might say created the art of sewer fishing.
Nagley tells Texas Standard host David Brown that his unique hobby started about four years ago when he was just 12.
Nagley estimates he's caught over 500 fish in the last four years, and he doesn't have to go further than his driveway to do it. Nagley's largest catch, so far, has been a three-pound catfish. The system he uses is simple, but effective: He threads a fishing line through a openings in a manhole cover, then attaches a hook and a cork.

There's nothing like pan-fried sewage catfish with a cornmeal batter.

than catfish caught elsewhere in this state. All our water ways are sewage and storm drain fed.
The storm drains are minus the sewage. Yum.

I live in Brazoria Co, the kids on my block catch and release toads from the water meter boxes.

I'm over in Wharton, but I don't know what the kids are doing which is probably a good thing. Welcome to DU.
I'm over in Pearland. I'm headed your way in a couple weeks to get our daughters a bulldog pup in Needville.
