catfisherman

Bottom-feeder pursuer

A catfisherman is someone who catches catfish, either recreationally or commercially.

The term distinguishes anglers who specialize in catfish from general fishermen: The catfishermen gathered at the river before dawn.

Catfishing often involves specific techniques like trotlines, jug fishing, or noodling (catching catfish by hand).
