I was binge-watching some of these clickbait-ey videos of people in Africa and Asia hunting for what appear to be dormant fish, particularly catfish, in dried up waterholes and mud puddles, usually buried in the ground.
I've known about the African lungfish and related animals that can "hibernate" like this but the lungfish wraps itself in a cocoon to retain moisture whereas these catfish seem to be buried alive completely exposed.
Seems to be very little info about fish other than the extant lungfish doing this.
Anybody ever catch fish this way?
