That gar scared the crap out of me lol. I was just staring into the screen with my headphone on and that thing jump scared the day lights outta me lmao. Keep up the good work man. Love your channel.
my step son went to signal mnt mid high and than to ivy I thought he looked familiar love you videos man nice to see people fishing the same lakes I grew up on
FYI: Chickamauga Dam is a hydroelectric dam on the Tennessee River in Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States. The dam is owned and operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority, which built the dam in the late 1930s as part of a New Deal era initiative to improve navigation and bring flood control and economic development to the Tennessee Valley. The dam impounds the 36,240-acre (14,670 ha) Chickamauga Lake and feeds into Nickajack Lake. Good video.
I scrolled through your comments here to make sure someone hadn't asked this question.... Where I can I find a rod holder that I noticed in the back of your boat that attaches to the seat pedestal? You may have answered that in a previous video but this is the very first one I've watched of yours and I know how it is to get tons of questions because I get more than a thousand comments/questions every week. Thanks and I enjoyed the video! Tim O'Bryant Columbus, Mississippi
That's a good question.....when I purchased this boat the rod/rock holders came with it. I got lucky, haha! I'm not exactly sure where you can purchase them...try looking here www.tackledirect.com/rod-holders.html and www.auroralitestackle.com/greatlakesrodholders1.html Hope this helps!
I fish the Chemung river in Elmira NY. We have 3 species of catfish in our river flathead channel and blue. There is a white albino catfish in the Chemung river nicknamed big sam he is hybrid with all 3 species flathead channel and blue I don't know how rare that is. When I fish for catfish I use shrimp for bait. Great fishing Robert Gildea Romans 6:23
Hey I'm fishing from the bank at the dam with rock walls piled you know, and we throw our baits out and it drifts into rocks and hangs us up every cast almost. How can I avoid this?
Maybe try using a santee cooper rig. Your bait will suspend right off the bottom. Fishing near rocks is always a risk you have to pay when fishing. You will lose tackle. Tight lines!
I'm not sure if this is answered in the comments. but I noticed in the beginning that you said you may either have a catfish or a drum. I assume your talking about puppy red drum right? but where are you that you could have either of those options in the same water?
I believe you replied to my comment by mistake. Anyway many rivers drain into a estuary , (where saltwater and freshwater meet) can have both saltwater and freshwater fish. I fish in rivers that drain into bays and catch flounder and channel catfish in the same area. Of course he could have been talking about gaspergou a freshwater drum which I have caught along with redfish.
Hey I live in chat ur channels really good and it's cool u met 1rod. Anyway I fish at the river and the dam a lot. I'm normally in my kayak it's a 12 footer and it's green my dads is orange if we happened to see you on the water one day I'll say hey
I love those Gander Mountain reals I have one but the cat special it is blue I got it on sale and have used it and saltwater and freshwater and I love it to death
@@ChattCats yous ever used your stinky pinky fingers em in with your noodle any content cats on the bottom no line I love cats fever sets in again 40's here and chill in the north snow and rain got the whole beginning the season at a standstill man I wait for a reel drag no buldge or apples only fatt'bottomgirls like it muddy and don't play the top 😀

+Chatt Cats Fishing I'm so jealous, I wish there were places/species such as yours in Scotland for your type of fishing. love to come over and give it a try sometime in the future 😉
Hey man this is Brian from Massachusetts I wanted to ask you a couple questions first of all there's this River it actually looks like the Tennessee River it's called the Merrimack River there's the above the dam and there's below the Falls like you fish and there's also the Concord River in Massachusetts I was wondering if possibly I could invite you up to fish the Merrimack River with me and show me it is possibly could be cats in there cuz it's just like the Tennessee River literally I'm guessing there is I'm guessing this hornpout which is the same thing as the blues right or close to it but anyways there's probably some Channel Cats I'm guessing in there and there probably isn't flat head but I want somebody else that could fish it with me. Is there any way that I could get your email because I have a couple pictures from a couple years ago when I was fishing for Shad because I usually freeze them when I go out for stripers and other fish such as blue fish and so forth when I use chunk bait. I was using a shower and Shad Dart and a smallmouth Bass whacked it so hard it was ridiculous I do a lot of different fishing like you also usually it's Smallmouth Largemouth trout pickerel Pike all that during the winter spring and very early summer months and then during the summer I usually go down you can look it up there's a place called Plum Island it's in Newburyport Massachusetts it's where the Merrimack River dumps into the ocean so it is the mouth of the Merrimack and that's where it is loaded with stripers and blues and so forth but is loaded with stripers is there a chance you would come up here and fish with me
I've never fished in Massachusetts. I have done some catfishing in the Philadelphia area on the Schuylkill River. There's some nice flatheads and channels in that river. I hope to do some more fishing up that way in the near future. Thanks for watching!
Chatt Cats Fishing hey man if you do come up to Massachusetts let me know cuz I fished all over the state and I could show you around do you know what the rainbow trout record is for Massachusetts bro is pretty sick actually the thing look like a freaking dinosaur listen to this you can look up Wachusett Reservoir it's in West Boylston or something like that it's in Worcester County and the biggest rainbow trout came out of there okay you're going to be like oh my God man dude it was 22 pounds 2 Oz the thing no kidding look like a freaking dinosaur literally the neck on it was probably about almost the size of a softball and a half I switch you not around in the whole neck was sagging down I swear to God it was like a dinosaur that's the record rainbow trout from Massachusetts and it came out of Wachusett Reservoir but yeah man let me know this is my email just so you know brianmorton25@gmail.com if you could be in touch with me just let me know when you decide to come up here especially when the ice breaks and it's about to be open water it's kick ass the Largemouth are hitting topwater or shallow runners the shed start hitting the Merrimack River the Merrimack flows into the oceans in Massachusetts at the Connecticut River flows into all the beaches in Connecticut but I fix the Merrimack River I fish right below the dam I live right down the street from it it's kind of like the Tennessee River actually is the waterfall where comes down you know the Falls you know where they open the dam and they could all those bridges that go and sections when the shadow running the stripers come down with them and then they emptying to Plum Island Newburyport which is the most of the Merrimack River and usually I get my shad I freeze them and then I cut them up and chunks for whether it's catfish trying to catfish anyway striped bass Bluefish amongst other things can you email me I want to show you the small mouth that I got in the Merrimack River about a year-and-a-half ago on a Shad Dart When the shed were Inn and I was just jigging a Shad. Just like little pops like your ice fishing jigging through the ice just little pops guess email me I want to show it to you I really would like to be like offline friends with you if that's okay with you I gave you my email I hope to hear from you thanks Brian
I was trying to get some bass. I typically use light tackle when using shiners so the shiner can move freely as possible in the water. Super fun to catch fish on!
Why did you say "possibly a drum" aren't you fishing in fresh water ? I only ask because here in Florida the only drum that I've ever heard of was saltwater
Bro I guarantee you that if you throw what they call a Rapala original you know with the white belly and the black back shallow Runner I guarantee you that you would get best. The only thing that I don't like about this whole situation is that you use a lot of live bait and that's pretty much guaranteed something is going to hit it. I do enjoy your videos I'm just trying to give you some advice man that's all but like I said in my last comment I would love for you to come up to Massachusetts and fish with me I could show you a thing or two and I would like to learn a thing or two from you about specifically fishing for cats.
I'm not really into using artificial bait. I like using the bait fish that run in my lakes/rivers. I get more enjoyment on catching the bait and then using it as bait to catch a bigger fish.
watching your vids makes me want to get out there more, good fishing!
Thanks for watching!
You make fishing look so easy, love your videos. 👍🏽👍🏽
There are times when it's tough and then it's on fire!
WoW, video quality is no joke! Love the video, keep'em coming.

No problem, that is a really healthy body of water, you catch some amazing fish in there bro. Keep it up! Grats on your little one btw! :)
Thanks.

That's awesome!
Nice video, love to see your channel grow.
Thanks!
I love watching your videos
Glad you enjoy them.
yes they are
cool
I'm enjoying these videos.
Thanks for watching. Tight lines!
just so you know if you want to catch bass at that dam I recommend small (3-5 inch) live shad
That's definitely a great bait right there!
I've been fishing at that same spot several times brother....can be some dangerous water...FISH ON !!!
For sure.
Chatt Cats Fishing can I by chance get your email I live in Dunlap so not far from where you are and would love to go fish with you sometime
Hey I'm from Jackson Mississippi and I live in Chattanooga and I would love to go catch some catfish with you guys because you guys are amazing subbed

Congrats on 1,000,000 views on this video!!!
Thanks, guys!
I was fishing there just about a month ago on the rocks and got a good 15lb channel cat.
That's a nice fish! Good job!
Great video man enjoyed watching to bad couldn't land that big gar

Nice video man that's sucks that the gar got off. Keep trying you'll get one.
Thanks. They can be hard to get.
nice catch and release
Thanks.
Have you ever went catfishing below nickajack dam near the boils? And if so, where have you had the most success?
Yes. Any boil will produce fish. I like the last boil near the wing wall. Good flatheads there during the late summer and early fall.
Thank you!
Awesome video
Thanks!
such a shame he lost it, just needed that drag a little lower and he would have landed that. I hope he tried again!
You ever go up to Ft. Loudon dam? I've caught some monster stripers/hybrids down there!
Never been. Would like to some time.
It would be worth the trip, especially since you have a nice trolling setup in that boat!
I actually made a trip up there not too long ago. Caught some nice cats and a good size striper.
nice!

what is your favorite place to fish like? Bridges, mouth of creeks, etc.
Probably drop offs
Love the crocs lol +chatt cats fishing
Haha, love my fishing shoes!
Nice vid Dude👍🏿❗🎣❗
Where was this❓
Are There Kropy There🎣❓🎣
Allen Kir Carter crappie
Below Chickamauga Dam on the TN River. Yes, there are plenty of crappie around.
Nice video!
Thanks.
I use dried shad on a drop shot rig is that good for catching catfish?
Yes
Hey nice Chanel and u hooked some nice fish shame on the big Gar tho
Yeah, we win some and loose some. Thanks for watching!
Hey I live in chat ur channels really good and it's cool u met 1rod. Anyway I fish at the river and the dam a lot. I'm normally in my kayak it's a 12 footer and it's green my dads is orange if we happened to see you on the water one day I'll say hey
Cool. I'm sure I'll see you out there. Tight lines!
Dude This Video Was Great
Thanks!
great video keep it up
Thanks, Marco!
a few qs what's the best bait and what is a good starting rod and reel
Cut or live bait works best. I would go with an ugly stick catfish rod/reel combo.
I love those Gander Mountain reals I have one but the cat special it is blue I got it on sale and have used it and saltwater and freshwater and I love it to death
I also was cat fishing last night and I caught a 5 pound blue catfish and a channel cat the size of yours at the Beginning
Great job!
My dad and I caught a 15 lb flathead yesterday on 4kb test line what a fight
That's awesome!
Cool

When I get my Dr's order from cats fever 🤒& get back out there i'm 🙏 pray they don't dim the stars ✨ n the moon stays full for ions nights
do you get the live shiners from bass pro shops or gander mountain
I get mine at Jack's Bait and Tackle, it's a local bait/tackle shop in Chattanooga. I don't think Bass Pro or Gander Mountain carry live shiners
I LOVE Fishing and Chats cata
Hey sir tomorrow I'm going crops fishing what line should I use I just subscribed by the way
10-20 lb line should work
Thanks
What did the catfish say when he hit a wall? DAM!

Greetings from Soddy Daisy.
Hi, Steven!

They are an awesome fish!
Man I thought it was 20 lbs or plus the way he makes it look but I'm not complaining good video
They all fight harder on light tackle. Thanks for watching!
He's like fuck I'm gonna have a headache in the morning
Mary Logan you mean hes like "dam"
You can tell if it's a catfish by how it stays down and don't run.
was that at lake Barkley dam???
No, this was at Chickamauga Dam.
When does it hit the wall?!
Darla Mang it was a joke, he is fishing near a dam..
Darla Mang I am 12 years old and even I got the joke
Darla Mang I knew it was a joke too, but I assumed it was in reference to the video.
It's funny the two people who commented couldn't figure that out.
nice work
Thanks!
No problem I thought it was cool when that gar was hooked and it jumped
looks like good fun to me 👍
For sure!

For sure!
I live in Jasper tn. you should hit me up when you are own your way past. Ive got some nice spots.
what bait are you using
Live shiners
What are you crappie fishing ? light tackle?
I was trying to get some bass. I typically use light tackle when using shiners so the shiner can move freely as possible in the water. Super fun to catch fish on!

Why did you say "possibly a drum" aren't you fishing in fresh water ? I only ask because here in Florida the only drum that I've ever heard of was saltwater
We have freshwater drum. Research freshwater drum and you'll find plenty of info out there. Thanks for watching! Tight lines!
what gear are you using????
Everything is in the video description. :-)
What bait did you use??
Live shiners
is that in ozark
Jared Saldana lock and dam 13 in ozark? Then no
GODDAMIT!!!!it hurts...😂
what do you film with?
Go Pro Hero 4 Silver
that first cat fish is bait in Kentucky
The fish will say DAM!
most fish in lakes are not edible?
Most fish in rivers/lakes are edible. I typically release all fish I catch.
only clicked to hear the end of the catfish joke
Haha
are you in saltwater???
Freshwater
cool that's right down the road from me
Awesome! We are blessed to have a great fishery here on the TN River.
looks kinda dangerous where you fish. but good video cheers
Can be dangerous when they have that turbine running full throttle. Thanks for watching!
