'I never did master tickling fish!'

Sean says he saw fish being tickled, but never mastered it himself.

鈥淲hen I was only 11 or 12, we used to go to the river to catch fish,鈥 says Joe in Loughinisland. 鈥淲e put our hands in and tickled their belly. Then pulled them out.鈥
鈥淲ell I know what you鈥檙e talking about,鈥 Sean says. 鈥淚 saw it in a burn near us that ran through the fields. The big boys would lie down and tickle the trout. I never mastered it!鈥
鈥淚 grew up along the Mississippi River,鈥 says Geezer. 鈥淪ome crazy guys would 鈥榥oodle.鈥 They'd catch catfish by poking their arms into likely spots. They thrust their fists into the fish's mouths and pulled them out. Of course their arms would be bruised!鈥
鈥淚 don鈥檛 believe it for a second!鈥
鈥淎fternoon chief!鈥 says Spike in Ardoyne. 鈥淭ickling the fish and grabbing it is called 鈥榟and walloping鈥 in my neck of the woods. I never mastered it either!鈥
With music from Elvis Presley, The Crystals, Barry Blue, and more.
