I ain't been watching his videos no more than a month but I know he is the best catfisher in the world...this dude is true blue catfisher..he even talks to the catfish
That's a got yo ass video..I just love it..I've been fishing all my life and I ain't caught no catfish as big as this man catches...he is a pro......got yo ass
If like to compliment you on your ability to sling probably over a half pound of weight, including the bulkiness, a freaking mile! That's something that only comes via many many hours of fishing experience because most people couldn't even begin to get half that far or use a boat to drop their lines then drift back. All I can say is that anyone watching these videos, the man knows what he's doing! Thanks for sharing Dave.. I hope we get to see you catch the next World Record Blue Cat!
Cats are easy to catch once you learn the basics, have to remember some will be like catching a submarine so everything has to be strong or be willing to play it down over a longer time. Drag setting is very important..
Looks like your having a good morning,before it got to hot to fish.I was just around the corner downstream from there fishing out of a boat Friday night till 12 oclock on Saturday.I was anchored in 52 feet of water and fishing 8 rods around the boat. I landed several 38 inch to 41 inch blues plus numerous smaller blues using 4 inch live goldfish. At 4.30 in the morning I took a 10 inch live horney head and tossed it about 15 feet from the rocky shoreline and landed a 44 inch super fat flathead. He started pecking on my rod like a little dink and I opened up my bail and let him run about 20 feet before I set the hook. I believe they run along the rocky shoreline looking for crawfish to eat.At 830 I started suspend fishing live goldfish and the smaller blues hammered them nonstop till 12.30 then they quit biting and I was glad because I was about to have a heatstroke till I jumped in and cooled off. Saturday night I anchor fished Chickamauga in 30 feet of water till midnight and couldn't buy a bite.I pulled up anchor and moved onto a flat close to the drop off in 10 feet of water and had nonstop action all night till 12 30 sunday afternoon ,then I sadly had to pack my bags back home. Three of the blues were over 34 inches,and putting weight on fast.The flathead I caught on wattsbar was covered with those little small lice.I didn't get 2 hours sleep in two days and nights and had to drink a gallon of coffee to make it home.Sunday the last blue I caught when it was close to the boat a gar was following it and the goldfish had slid up the line a couple of feet and he kept trying to rip it off my line and the line got wrapped around his snoot and I had to grab him before I could grab the blue and his toothy snoot hit my hand and tore a small chunk out of my palm.I would of loved to of had it on video.Ill have to be happy watching you and other people fish on you tube till another month goes by.I enjoy your videos very much.I hope someday you catch a state record.It will probably come out of loudon.
Fixin to move from the KY down to Luttrell. Watching all your videos man!! Thanks. Helping me get to know the area...YO Up here most lakes, the way the rock is, when you try to get it out over the drop into the deeper water, whoops, hung up every time. Cumberland you can, Green you can but Dale Hollow, Herrington Cedar Creek Taylorsville, cave run barren it'd be a problem strategy no doubt. If you would keep being clear about where you are as if a person had never been there b4 that'd be great good luck man!! Happy Damn Fishin Gilligan OUT
Hey I moved form UPSTATE NY the land of lakes to NM the land of .....well I'll leave that one alone. You have to try every pond , river and creek to find what you want.. As of 2021 I'm still looking but I'm getting real closes. Hang in there. It gets better.
Hi Dave nice video I really enjoyed it. You ever have any luck down the road a ways at the concord piers? I know you’re a shore fisherman but I’m just curious. I’ve always seen and talked to guys down there catfishing but never personally seen anyone haul one in over 5-10lbs.
I can tell you, a decent rod will cost $35 Rippin Lips Super Cat M, or Team Catfish Thunder Cat $70 and a budget reel like KastKing Rover 60 will be $51, good line like Sufix 832 Advanced Superline Braid 30 lb $18, leader line Berkley Big Game 30 $7, hooks, Gamakatsu Circle Offset Point Octopus 7/0 $7 for 6, few dollars for swivels, floats etc.
Thanks, a lot of people need a little direction. You can be overwhelmed when looking at fishing stuff. I learned a lot from the professionals who do fishing guide services and others experiences. We need to help each other out.
@@AdmiralBirdy As a former guide and tournament Angler I completely agree. A person can spend a small fortune on fishing gear. So when I read your breakdown I thought it was about as reasonable as a person could get for what you listed. And people can pick up decent Rod's and reels from yard sales but, they better know what they're looking at as well because it's not all good deals. Stay safe out there and best of luck to you!
Another thing people need to know is knots. I use the snell (If eye is slanted) and palomar if it's straight on the hook to leader, double surgeon with loop on the swivel end of leader, (swivel is Jshanmei snap rolling stainless steel with Duo-Lock #4) and a palomar knot to tie on the swivel. My favorite setup is the Santee Rig with no roll weight for catfish. The drag on most any reel is not that high even at max.
c'mon Dave, I know the big ones don't do so well in grease (I personally release everything from 10 lbs. and up), but there were two in that bunch that would have done real nice...lol. I just found your channel, and I enjoy your videos.
I keep everything 10 pounds and up for eating. I filet mine and bake them the way my grandfather shown me and it's delicious. I live on what I catch or kill to cut down on food costs. Alot of stores charge outrageous prices on meat these days and alot of what you get is low quality meat for a rich man's price.
green sea turtles are so over populated now that they're a menace to fisherman and the reef. stupid tree hugging leftist liberal scum outdated laws still won't allow us to harvest. They are destroying the reefs!
👍👍👍👍👍great 🎣video Dave I still like watching your old videos too.
I ain't been watching his videos no more than a month but I know he is the best catfisher in the world...this dude is true blue catfisher..he even talks to the catfish
I almost moved to TN 15 years ago. I wish I did … Watching you living the dream.
I love these old videos
That's a got yo ass video..I just love it..I've been fishing all my life and I ain't caught no catfish as big as this man catches...he is a pro......got yo ass

Just started watching Catfish Dave this year. I thought I was seeing Cowboy Dave in this video until I saw it was a 3 year old video! 😆
Dave you came a long way in making videos. Lot more entertaining now. But we all have to start somewhere I’m glad you did

Very nice dave,very nice
Softshell turtles won’t bite you plus they are great eating. They make turtle soup with them.
Dave,what is your favorite cut bait,mackerel,shad or anchovies? I'm slough fishing.
Fresh Skipjack
I thought that was some little short mexican in the background with a hat!! Great goofy-asse Vids! Keep pickin & fishin!
Dang Dave you was young here lol
Dave how do you build your slip floats?
Hi Dave nice video I really enjoyed it. You ever have any luck down the road a ways at the concord piers? I know you’re a shore fisherman but I’m just curious. I’ve always seen and talked to guys down there catfishing but never personally seen anyone haul one in over 5-10lbs.
Dave got one triple digit in that location 😳
I got your Ass!!!! This guy is 1 step away from losing it!!! He’s great!! 👍👍
Them are some nice catfish Dave
Great catch!!!
I’m serious ,, what’s the biggest turtle you have ever caught ?
Catch and Release the sign of a real Fisherman
That's one purdy stretch of water
I live in South East Missouri near lake wappapello . I can not get a catfish to bite . can you tell me what to do ?????
I would recommend name yourself the catfish cowboy 🤠
When fishing by rocks below a Crape Myrtle, Don't be surprised by a dang blasted turtle.
Gotta ask Dave......what can I expect to spend on a rod and reel equilavent to wat u use??
I can tell you, a decent rod will cost $35
Rippin Lips Super Cat M, or Team Catfish Thunder Cat $70 and a budget reel like KastKing Rover 60 will be $51, good line like Sufix 832 Advanced Superline Braid 30 lb $18, leader line Berkley Big Game 30 $7, hooks, Gamakatsu Circle Offset Point Octopus 7/0 $7 for 6, few dollars for swivels, floats etc.
@@AdmiralBirdy You did a good job breaking that down man ...

Awesome cast look like went in another zipppcod
You aren't worried about the rods being dragged into the water
Bait caster's have clickers that allow line to be taken and it clicks to let you know that way they can't be dragged away
If you set your rod down like that just make dam sure your drag is super loose. Otherwise....😵😫😵 Happens... just sayin
Oh catfish Dave's a good old boy but he don't respond to the comments that people make
Farm raised channel catfish here in crazy California cost's around twelve dollars a pound can you believe that??
DB Cooper aren’t the feds looking for you after you jumped out of that airplane a long time ago with all that money 💰 😂
CATFISH COWBOY DAVE!!!
Best part was when you got dat @$$
Maybe you should start weighing them
Get a Stetson just saying been there done that
Runs from hell are never good
That last fish could have been bait lol.
#10
Disrespectful let that poor turtle fall down hill 😂🤣
c'mon Dave, I know the big ones don't do so well in grease (I personally release everything from 10 lbs. and up), but there were two in that bunch that would have done real nice...lol.
I just found your channel, and I enjoy your videos.
I don't fry my big ones, they will go in a stew and freeze from now on. Usually catch enough to last met through the winter.

The name of the video should’ve been got your ass
