The End for My YouTube Channel?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- I started my UA-cam channel as a way help anglers catch more fish and enjoy their time on the water. There were a lot of UA-cam fishing channels that showed people catching fish, but not that many catfishing channels with detail information on catfish gear, rigs, rods and tactics for catching catfish. Since then my fishing channel on UA-cam has done great, I finally got silver play button, and I am looking down the road to focus on what come next with my channel. There is also some insight into what it takes to have and maintain a UA-cam channel, many of which people do not know or understand unless they've started a fishing channel on UA-cam. UA-cam fishing channels, especially catfishing channels on UA-cam, are abundant and standing out on UA-cam can be tough. Catfish fishing channels on UA-cam are great, but my hope is to diversify my content moving forward.

I been watching the channel before I started putting content on the channel. You def impacted me champ to start my channel💪🏿💪🏿 keep up the good work
Keep cranking out content man and try to remember me when you get your GOLD play button!!!
Been watching for a few years now and have definitely learned a lot that’s helped me land more & bigger fish. Congrats on your success. Well deserved!
Congratulations Dieter! UA-cam is definitely a long game. Love your content. 👍🏼
I've always looked forward to your videos. Always very informative. Hope you continue for a long time.
I appreciate that!!
Dieter, my brother and I have used your channel as a resource for our catfishing. We followed you as you put up each of your videos. Then while we fished we
would talk about them, what we learned, etc. I lost him back in December. Now I have a new connection to you and your channel. I can feel his presence or whatever one would call it, when I watch your videos. Don't know about my fishing, but I'll be here.
Wow……that made me tear up, and it’s a sobering reminder that what we do as creators can have a greater impact than we realize.
I understand, I just want you to know how much you helped folks like me learn different style of catfishing and different baits and techniques. I was all ways a bank fishing nightcrawler type of guy and done well but you opened my eyes to the MORE ENJOYABLE type of fishing. I'm a bass fisherman at heart but there is no relaxation running banks fishing every little stick or clump of grass. No time for laying back eating a snack and being able to drink your Pepsi before it gets hot. You have been a great inspiration and hope to meet you on the lake someday. Thanks Dieter !
Love your channel and perspective on things. I really appreciate your efforts.
Man you nailed what being a UA-camr is all about. I'm a semi retired RN and met you when I decided to start my channel and you gave me great advise. It's a slow go but it's growing slowly. Great video man .
Thanks for the comment!! I’m glad something I said was useful….😆😜😆😜😆😜
You have a great channel. I started my channel in September and your channel is one I watch carefully and learn from. It is a grind and harder than anyone knows. Would love to see more of the behind the scenes things you deal with. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for sharing your journey. I started my channel as a hobby, and could only hope it grows like yours has. Congrats on your 100,000 subscribers.
I hope that my experiences help you on your journey!
Congratulations Dieter! I hope to someday get where you are on my channel! Thanks for all the great content!
I'm glad you enjoy the content! I wish you the best on your journey as well.
Congrats, Dieter. Thank you for all the guidance and very useful information.
I appreciate you watching and commenting!!
*good job man i love the channel! i am on the same grind i agree this starts as a fun thing then turns into thinking about the best camera shots when fishing haha!*
I discovered your channel end of last year and your content is very informative.. I started my channel this month and I know it’ll be hard but I’m in it all the way. Thank you for sharing your journey keep up the good work.
It still amazes me that after all this time, many folks are JUST NOW finding the channel.....that gives me hope!!
Bye filesha!! ❤😂 Just kidding...i know my buddy BIG homie gonna miss watching you 🎉
Thanks for watching and taking the time to drop a comment!!
Many people watch UA-cam to get away from the every day grind of life and learn something. Your channel provides us that opportunity which is great
I appreciate you taking the time to say that…thank you!
Congratulations on reaching and surpassing 100k subscribers ! 🎉
Congrats on reaching 100,000 subs! I have enjoyed your channel since I think you were around 20,000 subs. I don't watch as many of your videos in the winter (sorry) because my catfishing up north is mainly an early summer bite, but I am anxious to try some ice fishing for them soon. From what I saw the other day on Facebook, looks like you guys could've almost gone ice fishing in the back bays, lol! Keep up the good work. I love your channel because you've kept it simple.
*long term but love the catfish vids keep them coming!*
I knew the title was a tease.
Congrats! I throughly enjoy your content and plan on getting your way one day and booking a fishing trip.
Would love to have you on board!!
Never heard of catching blue cats as a bass fisherman until my friend sent me one of your videos years ago. After that I couldn’t wait to give it a try. Once I felt their power I’ve loved it ever since. I once laughed at my friend at the suggestion of fishing for catfish when I could be fishing for bass. Now I can’t wait till my break in a couple of weeks to go chase big blues.
Well, as a recovering bass fisherman, at least you'll remember how to catch some good catfish bait! In all seriousness, thanks for the kind words!
Congratulations! Well deserved and love the channel
Great job! Keep it up with the positive content and teaching others to enjoy the journey.
Keep up the good work and glad you haven't gone to spot lighting with livescope 😂❤. Thank you and God bless 🙏
I hear you on the live-scope thing....
Mornin',, I'm an old guy from southwest Alabama, fished all my life on the Tombigbee. I enjoy watching catfishing videos and drinking a pot of coffee every morning. I watch em all,and you know there are many,,I'm subscribed to only 3,,,I am one of your 100k, congratulations on your award, keep them coming. Thank you sir.
THANK YOU for sharing that and subscribing to the channel....it means a lot.
Congrats!!!!
I always enjoy your videos when I can watch.
I appreciate that!
I started in 2022, not really knowing what type of fishing content I wanted to create, but I have to say, I REALLY enjoy making fishing podcasts. This is (mostly) where I want to spend time moving forward. Best wishes for 2025 amd congrats on 100k!
Your channel is definitely positive and fun to watch keep it up sir.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
Congratulations sir! I was in fort mill Bass Pro this past weekend and had the thought that it would be wild to run into you there. Enjoy your content and your positive attitude.
DANG!!! That would have been cool!!! I appreciate you watching!
Congratulations..I've been watching since you had the other channel name, I like the content, And I like that you keep the videos under 15 mins and keep it exciting, when I was working I couldn't wait for you to put out a new podcast and I loved listening to it at work , I remember telling you that you had the gift of Jab years ago. Great info brother
Thanks man! Gonna experiment with some long for content, but don’t worry, that will NOT be the norm!! 😜
Lol .... I don't watch podcasts ... but you got me with the title, darn you :p Glad you're sticking around, this channel would be far less fun w/o you in it!
Ya, without my big old mug it would be different!!
Congrats on the milestone. keep up the kool stuff. -Brian
Congratulations!!! Always enjoy your videos interesting,entertaining and informative please keep them coming.
I appreciate you watching!
I've been watching and learning from you for a couple years and was excited and glad I finally got to meet you at the Ice Bowl. You're one of the few YTubers who are very approachable and actually engage with your followers.
I really appreciate that! I’m just a normal guy that enjoys what I do, life, family and all I’ve been blessed with!
Hi. Well for me ? And, I am sure most of your viewers are here because we enjoy you. Yes, you are positive, informative, approachable. You keep things in wheelhouse of the average person. Your gear is functional,true and tested, yet, the type of gear practically everyone can afford and relate to. There are many many many reasons why people enjoy your content. Don't change a thing.
Stay safe
Done lot a lot from you that I didn't know and been catfishing since I was a kid 58 now and I have learned a few things from you that helps me catch more fish...keep it up Dieter you got good material brother.
I’m glad you’re finding the channel helpful!
Congratulations hero I've always enjoyed your podcast and fishing videos I looked forward to watching many more
🎉 Congratulations 🤙🎣
Hey dieter I live on buggs Island enjoying your video on the ice bowl next time in our neck of the world would love to get to meet you your videos have helped me and my sons a lot keep up the great content
DANG!! Wish I had known!!
I enjoy watching! Very interesting to hear news from the fishing world. My little channel is fun, your right about being a one man show. My family supports me but dont understand! Keep on doing what you do!
You do the same man....it's a lonely pursuit!
Glad you’re staying with us.
Congrats on the 100k , well deserved, You Put Time and EFFORT into each video to make it as informative, enjoyable, and inspirational, meaning You make people want to get on the water and getter done which to me is one of the key things about UA-cam, does it make people want to get out there themselves if so you've achieved "capturing your audience" , for me it's not about the biggest or most fish , it's the enjoyment,
A Well done UA-cam video kinda takes you along on the trip ,on bad weather days or times that we can't get out we still can enjoy a fishing trip , you've accomplished that ability, there's many many people who just physically can't do it for whatever reason be it age or injury or whatever, they can still enjoy fishing, hunting, camping, whatever part of God's Gift of the Great Outdoors They Enjoy thru Your videos and those like you that film, with that said , congrats again, the Effort into the videos shows and It's appreciated, God Bless And Tight Lines to ya Dieter
Man, you shared a lot of your thoughts and I appreciate you doing that!!!
Had me scared lol but man your videos taught me so much. Never pulled boards till you showed me now I can’t stop 😂 I even pull them on the James with great success all because of you thank you Dieter
Congratulations! I’ve been watching you for years and you were one of the ones who inspired me to start my own a couple of years ago. I’m trying to build my own up now.
Keep on cranking out content man and try to remember me when you get your GOLD play button!!!
@@DieterMelhornany advice on how much content needs to be put out (frequency)? I had a job the last couple of years that didn’t allow me to get enough content out, but I have a new job now with more time.
@@fishincommission I think for an average channel you need weekly content as a minimum. Bigger channels with more complex content can get away with less upload frequncy.
@ thank you!
Hey Dieter, congratulations on the success, I always look forward to your videos
Glad you enjoy them and thanks for the kind words!!
What got me as a subscriber was the pigtails you know the video I’m talking about Dieter!!!!😂😂😂😂
YES!!! The braided line video!!!!
Heading to Wylie today brother!
Yeah brother
This channel is in the top 3 catfish fishing channels on YT. Every point you make while teaching is based on years of experience and it shows. We can all tell how experienced a fisherman is by how they handle the fish they catch and it seems you can do this in your sleep. Thank you buddy for all the top notch content!
Wow!! Those are some amazing accolades….thank you!!
I don't know how many hours i wathed or listen to going down the road
I have learned a think are two the last two years I’m trying to keep up with time things are totally different from when my dad and grandpa told me how to feel so thank you very much for your
Keep the UA-cam channel bro you and ernie the hog snatcher Hazlife and alof only ones i watch tht keept 💯
Good video always enjoy them
This video really resonated with me. I only got into content creation about 7 months ago on tiktok and then expanded to youtube in November. I have more videos than subscribers at the moment but that's fine because I have found that I enjoy it. Not very good at it but I'll learn as I go. Thanks for giving us rookies a blueprint to go by.
I hope my experiences can help you on your journey! Thanks for sharing your perspective!!
I would love to see a video on how to get started affordably with UA-cam such as basic camera and lighting set up and other items until you can monetize the channel enough to upgrade.
I've actually got one a few years back....might be time for a new one....
My favorite channel!
WOW!! Very humbling!!!
Enjoy your channel and podcast. Ever thought of doing videos of your guide trips, I think that might be interesting ?
It's an idea I've thought about but my clients might not like it, and it’s tough to film and play guide at the same time.
@@DieterMelhorn I bet some of your clients would love to be on your videos. I watch a well known bass guy in FL. that films his guide trips and you can tell some clients like it and some don't
Thank you for all you do!!!
I have enjoyed your video's for a long time. Hope you stick around. And keep hooking em 🎣🦈. Thank you!
Your podcast are one of the three that I watch
UA-cam is not easy. But I love it!
It is interesting and challenging at the same time!
Great information I really appreciate it Dieter I am trying to start a channel being a on disability and I need something to do to help keep me moving and hopefully i can make a little bit of money to help paying bills
Mr. DM, i'm a retired 72 year old home builder, worked with my hands for 50 years.. Started fishing with my dad in swampeast missouri barpits when i was 5. Now i love to fish but have stopped going, it is so unsettleing to think i cant launch my boat, retreive my boat in a crowd, even throw a cast net for bait without holding on or tieing a rope on so i wont fall overboard. The golden years arent so golden. Show me how to be comfortable in doing the thing i love. PS, im a loner so dont say get a buddy, all my buddies are dead or cripples. I just got bad knees whick leads to balance problems. I think there a re many who have this same problem. By the way, i've learned a few things watching your channel, it is entertaining. My personal best is 85 pound blue in the ohio river at cairo on a 209 penn rod and reel. Catfish eat chicken you say, Well garden seed.
It's sad to hear you can no longer get out safely. I know that time comes for us all. Hopefully you can live vicariously through my adventures....
Howdy Dieter.
Just please don’t quit. I am hooked. Thames for what you do.
No plans right now to change anything, I just may vary up the content…we will see how yall like it.
Always love your videos!!!! One day, i will save enough money to come fishing with you. It's now a goal and a dream of mine to come catch some of these monster cats. I have tiny cats around here and I can't seem to catch them here lol
I hope to fish with you on the water one day!
I watch a wide range of UA-cam videos and have since 2010 when I cut the cable on traditional cable providers and hooked a computer to my living room TV a few years before the smart TV came out. Since that time I've acquired hundreds and hundreds of channels I'm subscribed to. I say all that to say that when one of your videos pop up I never scroll past watching it. Reason is because you have never been negative on your channel. That's important to me. The professionalism and consistency of your content just makes me happy to click every single video that pops up. So many other creators at some point in time will put out a video of them literally letting their emotions and negativity shine through and just complain and complain. That's never productive in my opinion and certainlynot enjoyable for me to watch. Keep doing what you do Dieter and I'll be a active subscriber for life. 🤘😎
I know who I am,where I've been and where I'm headed. That to me is Dieter. Now let's go fishin///bill
Congratulations on your award!
It would be awesome to see some behind the scene of your video production company.
I can work on that.
Hey bud, Your channel works because it is fun and fun to watch. Granted me and Striper man see you on Wylie all the time and that makes it more fun. You have always been cool to me when I have stopped and said hello. So if you post non fishing stuff I am in. Grayson killing yellow jackets was a great post. Same with the cooking fish at the rental house in Fl Stop by the CYC if you see a white Dodge Dakota in the parking lot. We always have coffee food and a stiff drink if you need one
That's awesome to hear you enjoy my non-fishing posts too! 😜😆😜😆
GOD FAMILY WORK Says it all. keep it coming.
*what is your mic/headset you use?*
I dont have time to watch all the catfish videos that are available but you are in the top 3 that I choose. There must be something you're doing that the rest are not.
I appreciate that!!!! THANK YOU!!!
Congratulations in the fishing content segment 100k is awesome…you still have your dignity and not making stupid content like some of the others out there.
I appreciate that! There’s a place for everyone, and I’d rather have the class of followers that I have than what some other content brings. ❤️❤️
I have a relatively new fishing channel that I'm trying to grow I'm only at 31 subscribers.
But given the fact that I only have 9 videos so far that's not a bad video to subscriber ratio at all honestly.
I have a newly rebuilt and stocked (by the Conservation Dept) and open to fishing just last year. Four Fish limit per day allowed. And ONLY catfish are allowed to be kept. Its just now FEB. Is that too early to go and expect a bite... The pond is about Five Ac. big...
Ok, Dieter, i'm going to call shenanigans. You have to admit the title of this video is Clickbait. LOL
The only thing I want to catch a the biggest fish in a river
Enjoy the pursuit!!
Enjoy your content Dieter.
Now about that Gold Plaque................. Bikini bait girl, boat wash girl, really any girl in a thong for any reason or no reason at all seems to be the YT formula 😜😊
Sorry, thats the low hanging fruit and not my game. If that is what you have to resort to get views, the content is no longer about you and fishing.
If you didn’t love it it would be a job
You scared me! I'd hate to see you shut down your channel.
No plans for that yet......
We watch a lot of channels for catfishing. I notice the number of subscribers a person has too. The most enjoyable one has 10 million subscribers, a couple more have a million subscribers. You and that other guy 'Complaining Dave' seem to be stuck around 100,000. I know why he is, his show is the same every week. He thinks its all about catching huge catfish, its not. We like watching catching eater size fish. His shows are all Exactly the same, nothing changes. If you've watched a couple of his shows then you've watched them all. Now the guy that holds the Tennessee state record catfish is making catfish videos, His are all exactly the same thing too, you get bored after a couple of them. . Videos need to be entertaining, enjoyable and educational. Go back and watch the Catfish & Carp videos when he first started and you'll see how he got up to 10 million. Not the videos he's making today but when he first started out.
While I don't know of a "channel for catfishing" that has 10 million subscribers, Catfish & Carp is the only one that I know of that has exceeded one million subscribers. I seriously doubt my current content style will hit that mark. It is different for everyone in what works. Personality plays a part. We will all rise to the level of our incompetence, and I don't mean that in a bad way, it's just a fact of life. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with me!!
@@DieterMelhorn Your show is entertaining, you don't just do the same thing every week. and lakeforkguy has a lot of catfishing vidoes, he is over a million subscribers, but he fishes for other fish too. . The most enjoyable and educational one is Richard gene the fishing machine but he says he is no longer making catfish videos because catfish are too easy to catch.
You are setting a horrible example that u can go forward just with stealing other peoples ideas and talking anout nothing. I hope u dosappear soon
Why are you leaving
Headed off to catch me fish!!!
I was scared when I saw the video
I’m glad you watched and hopefully you have a better perspective on what goes on.
Yeah, The clickbait got me too. 🤣 Glad you're not going anywhere Dieter!
He did that on purpose to trick more people into watching
@@stickermigtigger SORRY! I got that question too many times, "are you just gonna quit once you get the button like a bunch of other people did??" Not me....I'm in it for a while good Lord willing!
Don’t take much to scare you does it 😮
Bye filesha!! ❤😂 Just kidding...i know my buddy BIG homie gonna miss watching you 🎉
