@rayamoroso126 it was the first day after our first freeze here locally. I was on a point where they had to come through an area of about 75 yards to get to deeper water into the main channel. Most of the fish were from sunrise to a few hours after. I was using live bluegill trying specifically for them. My Cut bait had a couple channel cats one 9 lb that day. They have slowed for me though. It was a good day
I love watching dave prove things that everybody says doesnt work. Went out with some chicken. Caught some nice channels and a few blues. Tight lines everyone.
You had everyone in the catfishing groups talking about your last video. Love the chicken videos. I've been using it again since your last video. Thanks for another great video! You're a legend!
Someone o Hagen Grubbs Facebook group made a post quoting Dave word for word after the last 1. But Said they tried chicken instead of skip jack. You could tell they watched Dave's video
Love watching Dave's video's. Between him and Justin from kayak catfishing is the only 2 youtube channels i like to watch. Always great content and good tips. Now im gonna have to try some chicken lol.
Me too brother I think they're the best to catfisherman out there I like to joke around with Dave though I think he's a good fella enjoy his videos but you have a great day thumbs up mr. Simmons
@@johnhenderson7094 I watch other catfish channels on UA-cam bout every day. But the thing is i can't get into watching them like I do on dave and Justin's channel. Those to are by far the best one's out there that i have seen. Ive met catfish dave a time or two and he is a purdy cool guy. Id like to meet Justin but I dont see that happen tho. Keep the high lines goin
Thank you Dave! Went fishing Tuesday in Lake Seminole, NOTHING was biting. I had some cut chicken breast suspended in 12 feet of water and WHAT A TAKEDOWN. The only thing that we caught 34 inches long and 7.5 lbs Blue cat. 3 meals of catfish fingers. YUM
You are still the most entertaining fisherman out there. You are also the fluent talker. Nice fish, but you also make slow fishing days very interesting. Stay safe and be blessed
Can not believe Dave is just recently discovered chicken for catfish..... we have been using the chicken for years here in Louisiana..... good luck and good fishing......
I tried chicken koolaid this year in 3 different lakes (Tellico,Chickamauga,and Parksville)caught good fish in each lake.I'm a believer in the power of chicken for catching them old catfish.We used several different flavors of koolaid and even powdered gatorade and caught fish on all of them...must be the chicken.
If you tie in an anchor ball onto your anchor line it will help keep your bow from being pulled down by your anchor. Really helps in boat wakes, waves and current.
Thanks Dave for this video I know you Struggled with the currents in your boat . I’m so tired of buying skipjack at 25.00 a bag or 6.00 a piece. I’ve tried Catching Skipjack I’ve tried Jigs and Foley spoons and haven’t caught one skip. I watched you tear up Skipjack at Douglas Dam I’ve tried several times not one fish. So looks like it’s chicken for me now.
@@jacksontaylor2003 you can buy it by the case online. The Bait Shack in Friendsville also has it. Never checked One Last Cast. I'm sure Big Fish Outfitters has some too
Back off and lighten your drag...you wont destroy your rod holders...tighten back up to during retrieve.... and you are absolutely right....Chicken is my favorite bait...that being said, in a creek in Mississippi, red hot dogs were the go to bait.... would barely touch chicken their...different strokes for different folks...great channel, keep up the good work
I'm going to try this! I struggle getting live bait. Where I live in Alabama on Weiss lake, its hard to find public bank fishing areas, and I have had no luck catching bream this winter. If you can ever find rooster livers, they are awesome!! they are as tough as alligator hide, and you have to cut them off your hook when you get done fishing..
What's up Dave! Looks like that chicken is popping! I'm going to try it my next catfish fishing trip to the Tennessee tombigbee! Those were some nice catches but that last blue cat was a monster! Great video is always! Keep on getting down man!
I was just thinking about what happened in Catfish Dave's last video with the rod holder and the nice cat he caught in this video answered my question, he finished what the other cat started by snapping it completely off! LOL You are gonna need some heavier duty rod holders Dave! I really enjoy the vid's you put out and keep up the good work and stay safe out there in the rough waters.
Man Catfish Dave 😯 There's no way I would sit in that heavy current! I bet your head is still spinning 😂 Nice video Dave! I believe I'll go get me a chicken dinner now...aka some catfish 😉
I know it's fall, thought I'd give a little advice on fishing chicken. Garlic may help catch catfish, but I know it sure keeps the flies away from the bait in the summer. Keep up your offbeat advice. Love channel.
I always carry two anchors. One for bow and one for stern. Years ago I fished the trinity river below the livingston dam. The water was so high in the lake it was breeching the dam top so they had all gates fully open. I couldn't see over the waves near the dam. If you got back a ways the water was coming out so fast it was around two feet higher in front of the gates and then past the gates on either side it was a straight drop to the lower water level. Actually got sea sick from bouncing up and down. My chicken is marinating down stairs in garlic, shrimp and strawberry jello. Hope to try it out this weekend.
i started a craze off in Northern Spain-Catalonia Riu ebre/Rio Ebro For Wels catch fish.chicken legs,wings head bodies you name it the cats loved it biggest cat i seen on chicken 148lbs seen bigger further up the river at Embalse De Mequinenza Rio Segre.Cinca,Ebro junction pool.Great bait so too is liver,kidneys,snakes,frogs terrapins
Great vid. I wonder if this will lead to a "line" of catfish baits produced by the big chicken producers using not fit for humans scraps? Also this may ease some of the pressure on the skipjack population. Thanks Dave!
My pb is only 41lbs, but it came on chicken and it was in February. I'm not sure it matters what time of year it is. It just catches them for some crazy reason.
Dave I had the same thing happen to me sunday fishing beside the ship channel after a little bit looked behind me and there came a ship pulled ankor to fine tie broken
I hope you are using a break away for the anchor rope..........as a old river person, rivers are notorious for whats called rollers, water logged logs that roll down on the bottom of the river, they will catch a anchor rope and pull the boat nose down in to the water if the rope and cleat is strong enough. Us old dogs that have been on the river all our lives use a cleat that will break away before it pulls the boat under "IF" a roller comes a long on the bottom,........not like it happens twice a week, but it does happen and you dont want it to happen, especially at night on the river in the current. Take it from a life long river boat captains son........it does happen, the river is no joke,...it can turn dangerous quick.
Yup!! Better than a second anchor too. You can have a second line connected to the end to collapse it quickly and get it out of the way for a big fish.
Whats up dave,i had never used chicken b4 until i saw your last video where you caught the 40s i thaught what the heck,so i baught some and tried it on limblines this weekend ,caught 4 small channels and 2 20+lbers and had 1 hook bent,all on chicken,im a believer now,tks 4 the videos bro,!!!
What boat are you using? Length and width? I'm using a 1672 Express. Looked pretty sketchy in that current. Get yourself another rod holder setup for the other corner. Those rod storage holders don't get it.
Hey Dave don't forget to hang them 15 rods at the back of your boat and Try a Little Debbie for bait that's sure to catch a gollywhopper LOL and by the way Dieter melhorn said tell you hey catch you later have a great day thumbs up on the video LOL
Going to be 70 degrees this weekend near in Indy so I'm going to go to the White River with some live bluegills and try to catch a flathead for a few hours
Catfish Dave for president!
Making cat fishing great again!
😃👍👍
Dangit, Dave...you;re gonna make me buy some dagblasted chicken!
It works great table spoon of garlic powder and chicken thighs 👍
Dont be a dummy put cherry koolaid on it Dave
I'm gonna try a live chicken !
😂
Post results
Use live biddies.
I used a bird before and caught a nice catfish...a whole chicken might be a little too big lol
Hahaha. .careful. .dang blasted catfish Dave might try that..
real men admit when they are wrong about something and not afraid to tell it! love the content man keep grinding!
39 degrees sitting on the bank reeling in flatheads and watching catfish Dave. Pretty good day it's starting to be.

Now that is dangerous water! I've been there with my ProCat while they were spilling and left because it was way too sketchy for my liking.
I love watching dave prove things that everybody says doesnt work. Went out with some chicken. Caught some nice channels and a few blues. Tight lines everyone.
Been using chicken for years always work
He was the one who made fun of everyone for using it in the first place lol. He basically proved himself wrong
Love how he was in the air with it and now is using it. Just goes to show try everything you hear and see if it works for you.
Try strawberry jello with it.
Yea use jello garlic an cayenne pepper
No way that tiny ass life jacket gonna hold you up above water 🤣
WooHoo! Never caught a Catfish Dave this early, my lucky day!!!
You might need to try turkey on Thanksgiving
Another great catch from catfish Dave, I enjoy his videos. Catfish AL. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
"Dieter Melhorn here!" hahaha

Those 2 are by far the best ones to watch catfishing. Tight lines and have a good day Billy Simmons
I’m with ya, on the best videos. Those Iowa flathead boys are fun to watch too sometimes
Richard Gene is fricking awesome aswell. Can’t forget him

Thought chicken was a joke myself
"Im gonna throw that skipjack outta my cooler." im dead lol.
Great job keep up the good fight
I was on edge the whole time! Heavy current! At least I knew that you made it out or there wouldn't have been a video. Dedicated man!!!!!!
Thank you Dave! Went fishing Tuesday in Lake Seminole, NOTHING was biting. I had some cut chicken breast suspended in 12 feet of water and WHAT A TAKEDOWN. The only thing that we caught 34 inches long and 7.5 lbs Blue cat. 3 meals of catfish fingers. YUM

This is so exciting. I’ve had good luck with the chick myself, just wish I had all that dagblasted money I wasted on strawberry jello over the years.
Can not believe Dave is just recently discovered chicken for catfish..... we have been using the chicken for years here in Louisiana..... good luck and good fishing......
Bro you need a drift sock tied to the back...! I use one just to keep me straight
I tried chicken koolaid this year in 3 different lakes (Tellico,Chickamauga,and Parksville)caught good fish in each lake.I'm a believer in the power of chicken for catching them old catfish.We used several different flavors of koolaid and even powdered gatorade and caught fish on all of them...must be the chicken.
About the only youtuber videos I can watch without skipping thru it. U da man Catfish Dave
If you tie in an anchor ball onto your anchor line it will help keep your bow from being pulled down by your anchor. Really helps in boat wakes, waves and current.
That current was so bad that he only rhymed like once!!
In case you didn’t catch it, “if you want fish, buy chicken”. Lol.
I'd feel better if that boat was a foot or two wider;) Great info Dave!
TYSON n Little Debbie..great sponsers...whiskers club...Dave,just keep fishing...they like the freshness of the chickin fat...Peace💜🤴
You're a great fisherman with alot of the right tips for finding the catfish thank you for making these videos?
A small drift sock will keep you boat from spinning. Tie it off on different spots on the back of the boat to get it pointed where you want.
MAN!! I just knew you was gonna swoop up that bigger Catfish with your phone in your net..I was hoping you seen it..Great video Dave...
Thanks Dave for this video I know you Struggled with the currents in your boat .
I’m so tired of buying skipjack at 25.00 a bag or 6.00 a piece. I’ve tried Catching Skipjack I’ve tried Jigs and Foley spoons and haven’t caught one skip. I watched you tear up Skipjack at Douglas Dam I’ve tried several times not one fish. So looks like it’s chicken for me now.
Hey buddy where do you buy skip like that?
@@jacksontaylor2003 you can buy it by the case online. The Bait Shack in Friendsville also has it. Never checked One Last Cast. I'm sure Big Fish Outfitters has some too
Try using grubs on the spoons or blue fox spinners ..with a couple tiny maggots on the tiny treble hook
waaahoooo! All your videos bring a BIG smile to my face and make me laugh lol I LOVE THEM! keep it up! " Ya don't know til ya throw!"
Back off and lighten your drag...you wont destroy your rod holders...tighten back up to during retrieve.... and you are absolutely right....Chicken is my favorite bait...that being said, in a creek in Mississippi, red hot dogs were the go to bait.... would barely touch chicken their...different strokes for different folks...great channel, keep up the good work
Plain chicken breast works awesome I caught some good catfish over the weekend on chicken breast
Loved this video Dave! It is amazing that you are catching those fish on chicken!
Great video and some nice fish. When are you gonna come to Rogersville, Tennessee at John Sevier Dam and get on some big flatheads and shovel Bill??
I'm going to try this! I struggle getting live bait. Where I live in Alabama on Weiss lake, its hard to find public bank fishing areas, and I have had no luck catching bream this winter. If you can ever find rooster livers, they are awesome!! they are as tough as alligator hide, and you have to cut them off your hook when you get done fishing..
This man could single handedly feed an army just off the catfish he catches
What's up Dave! Looks like that chicken is popping! I'm going to try it my next catfish fishing trip to the Tennessee tombigbee! Those were some nice catches but that last blue cat was a monster! Great video is always! Keep on getting down man!

Glad you learned something from ol Dieter Melhorn lol... awesome fish Dave
Glad to see you are still learning!
Great video before my dad past when we use to go when I was about 12 he did this and other things like gizzards , liver etc.... Salute
Man Catfish Dave 😯 There's no way I would sit in that heavy current! I bet your head is still spinning 😂 Nice video Dave! I believe I'll go get me a chicken dinner now...aka some catfish 😉

Great video again!....add another rod holder to the right side that matches the left, great teachers always can change when something new is proven.
old dog learned a new trick! I use Chicken all the time in Central Ohio LOL
Those are some chicken loving Tennessee catfish!!!
Nice catfish Dave pretty ones take care bro be safe out there glad you had your life best on enjoyed!!

Now that you are a believer in chicken, maybe you should also start "dipping the net for luck"! 🤣
i started a craze off in Northern Spain-Catalonia Riu ebre/Rio Ebro For Wels catch fish.chicken legs,wings head bodies you name it the cats loved it biggest cat i seen on chicken 148lbs seen bigger further up the river at Embalse De Mequinenza Rio Segre.Cinca,Ebro junction pool.Great bait so too is liver,kidneys,snakes,frogs terrapins
Everybody starts using chicken Maybe the skipjack population will increase!
What kind and size boat do you have .....seems to be a great little boat about to buy one getting ideas of what I want thanks and great video
Good video. Nice fish. I got skunked last week on chicken. Nothing but dink taps. I'm taking shad and chicken 🐔 this week.
Hey gomer you do realize that those rod holders are for storing your rods right
Old dog new tricks, chicken lol. Next video Dave will be talking to Steve Douglas on getting a new Monster rod holder. Thanks for showing.
Great vid. I wonder if this will lead to a "line" of catfish baits produced by the big chicken producers using not fit for humans scraps? Also this may ease some of the pressure on the skipjack population. Thanks Dave!
Great vid Dave! Now you need to hit up Steve Douglas for some monster rod holders!!
Stay safe out there Dave, screw that current it doesn't make it fun at all when you have to fight it and just leaves you open for disaster.
Love your vids Dave, Live Long & Happy Fishing
Thats workin for your fish, real life fishin right there
You’re having one heck of a time Dave 😂
Definitely glad to see you wear that like jacket very dangerous waters when there spilling.
fish breaks rod holder, angler tosses skipjack, lol chicken is the winner!!!!
Dave dealing with the mayhem like a boss.
Really like ur fishing. U never beat around the bush u tells truth bout fishing great fishing watching u
Winner Winner no chicken for dinner. Nice to see someone fishing on Halloween
Dang it Dave.... Now I'm whistling that dang Dreaming about Oceans song... ....
I think what seems to be the right combo for big catfish is BIG chicken bait .
Time to call Steve Douglas to get a rod rack! Well I have a bait request .... shrimp 🍤!!!!
Hole shrimp fresh off the boat work great in the MS river . They tare um up
@@solgerin4christ I use shrimp just about everywhere I fish!!! Caught a 33lb black drum and a 31 lb blue cat on a small shrimp.
I have used shrimp for years. Caught a lot of eaters but never anything over 10lbs. I even used squid. No luck at all with squid.
@@countryboy8762 yea squid is not a bait I use.
our Dave he did brave the angry Fort Lauden waves, to give his ways of catfish fishin using just mo chicken!
Well I'm in central florida I believe I'm going to try some chicken down here I will let you know how it goes tight lines buddy
My pb is only 41lbs, but it came on chicken and it was in February. I'm not sure it matters what time of year it is. It just catches them for some crazy reason.
Colder it gets better chicken gets they hit it good in January up till March. In texas
Dave I had the same thing happen to me sunday fishing beside the ship channel after a little bit looked behind me and there came a ship pulled ankor to fine tie broken
Started using chicken this spring. It works! Great video!
Do you put any spice on your chicken?
I hope you are using a break away for the anchor rope..........as a old river person, rivers are notorious for whats called rollers, water logged logs that roll down on the bottom of the river, they will catch a anchor rope and pull the boat nose down in to the water if the rope and cleat is strong enough.

Take it from a life long river boat captains son........it does happen, the river is no joke,...it can turn dangerous quick.
Sounds like Dave needs to invest into some Monster Rod Holders!
Cant beat monster rod holders. And it’s not like they’re expensive. Very reasonable in my opinion
I agree on monster holders
😂 Just won a bank fishing tournament up here in STL with chicken breast. It definitely works.
Drift socks would sure make positioning your boat alot easier.
If you throw a small drift sock off the back of your boat,it will hold your boat straight in the current. Really enjoy your videos.
Yup!! Better than a second anchor too. You can have a second line connected to the end to collapse it quickly and get it out of the way for a big fish.
I wonder if skipjack filet is any different than a cut segment of the fish. Only cause more surface area would mean more scent being released.
Lol...thats all we use here in Texas to fish freshwater..cats,gar,love it...alligators too.
Drift socks work buddy. For your little boat you can get the whole set up drift sock for 30 buck at Amazon
Whats up dave,i had never used chicken b4 until i saw your last video where you caught the 40s i thaught what the heck,so i baught some and tried it on limblines this weekend ,caught 4 small channels and 2 20+lbers and had 1 hook bent,all on chicken,im a believer now,tks 4 the videos bro,!!!
What ! No little Debbie's today lol, good video man.
I wonder if that's why catfish taste like chicken ? Dave done fed them all !
Dave you tried a new bait and it worked, please try frogs and crawfish next
Well I thought this was the video from last week lol. Great job dave
Have you tried a double dropper rig with one piece of chicken and one of skipjack? That would be the real test.
I had that rod holder thing happen to me a few months ago. It took it all the way off when hit and took the rod too. I post it all.
What boat are you using? Length and width? I'm using a 1672 Express. Looked pretty sketchy in that current. Get yourself another rod holder setup for the other corner. Those rod storage holders don't get it.
Hey Dave don't forget to hang them 15 rods at the back of your boat and Try a Little Debbie for bait that's sure to catch a gollywhopper LOL and by the way Dieter melhorn said tell you hey catch you later have a great day thumbs up on the video LOL
Dave can you use your castnet to catch Chicken .lol.thought you might need a good humor joke
Rough waters u was in big dave great video
Going to be 70 degrees this weekend near in Indy so I'm going to go to the White River with some live bluegills and try to catch a flathead for a few hours
