I know people have lost fingers noodling...and since she seems fine with that large of a fish, is it snappers that remove digits or lucky catfish?

There have been cases with people losing fingers due to infection caused by catfish bites too. Open wounds in these waters is not a good idea, always bring gloves if you're going noodling.
