Ella loves visiting her grandparents' house with her cousins every summer. It's a great time to play in the woods and fish. This time, Grandpa has a surprise planned. When he announces they're going catfish noodling, Ella isn't sure what to think. Could she really grab a fish that big with her bare hands? As she dives down into the murky water with her cousin, Ella is nervous. Will she come up with a catfish? Or will her first noodling adventure be a dud?
