Newark Isn't the Only Prime Spot for Sewer Fishing

This week, New Jersey proved again it excels at making grody headlines when a dude in Newark was spotted hauling fish from a sewer drain. Though there’s zero evidence he or anyone else ate the street game—which was washed there from a pond by flooding—the city felt compelled to issue a warning. NJ.com reports:

For many folks, this might’ve been the first they heard of sewer fishing. But Kyle Naegeli, aka the “Fish Whisperer,” has been stalking the slippery fauna of buried urban waterways for years. Naegeli, a teenager who lives in Katy near Houston, has a storm drain a couple dozen feet from his front door. Dipping lines baited with worms and hot dogs through the manhole, he hauls out fat catfish, bass, and even a huge, furious softshell turtle.
