I've tried to do it here in FL, only came close to catching one once... found a 15#'er facing me in a hollowed out log.  When I went to get him to bite me he just wouldn't do it... so I finally slid my hand towards his gills and he suddenly, quick as lightning, bit my fingers and spit them out before I could get a grip... and zipped out of his hole  

I'd appreciate some technique tips if you don't mind
