Love your shows. Feel your pain with those wake boats. Just an FYI, you are fishing right out in front of the Chattanooga Ski Club so your gonna get rocked. Keep doing what you do!
Yup, too miserable to fish on any body of water on the weekend, bumper to bumper boats on Lake Michigan on Saturday in Summer... River Rage LOL Thanks for all you do!
Dave, I'm with ya!!! The disrespect of some people. Most parents teach their children to be respectful on the water when someone is fishing to slow down and stay as far away from them as possible as to not scare the fish or cause waves/wakes. I'm not sure what they teach these younger folks today but, it's not anything good as we can tell by their actions. Excellent videos Dave!! Could you please do more videos on how and what tackle you use to rig poles with for different situations? Thanks again from one wake boat disliker to another. Sometime if you are looking to branch out come to Kansas for Blue Cat. Milford Reservoir at Milford, KS has a Blue Cat Tournament every year and I know large Blue Cat live there but, they just can't seem to catch them. Also, I like the fact that you are a catch and release fisherman!
I was there Saturday and all 68 parking places at the Wolftever ramp were full and Chester Frost was too. Add in Harrison Bay and Island Cove and there were over 200 boats on the lower end. Mostly wake boats and pontoons/tritoons. And yes...they DO try to swamp smaller boats.
Hello again Dave. Good show really nice fish. I just don't know where that kiddy cat kept coming from. Must have been from those. white water boats. any way keep'm coming.
I hate wake board boats too. I try to fish early and get off the water by 10 or I go late and try at night this time of year. I never do well with chicken thigh. If I have to use chicken I use the breast.
Dave I feel for you battling those boats. It's the same thing I deal with when I'm Bass fishing. Damn pleasure boaters make it tough... Sorry that your dealing with that crap, But i gotta say I can't help but laugh the way you curse at them, and the "meow" was cracking me up 😂
I've been calling all those pleasure boat people, wave runners the Wee's. Remind me of those insurance commercials with the pig has his head out the window Weee. Up and down doing circles Weee!!!
How much do you think that big one weighed? Looking at the belly, its cut, and its length I'd say it was 50-55 pounds. Nice and pretty. Dave, some of those weren't wakes, they were breakers. No sense in that at all, I agree. I mean, 200 yards can make a lot of difference and 200 yards is nothing in a wake boat. I never miss a trip, Dave. You and I are a lot alike, I think. If we ever got together in boat fishing we could probably solve a few world problems. Till next time, y'all. 👍🖖🎣
The whole dang river/reservoir and they have to go 50 yards away from the guy fishing. At least on some of Kansas reservoir’s skiers have a designated area the are supposed to stay in. W&P is pretty good about enforcing it and keeping them away from fishing boats in the rest if the lake.
Dave, I just had a thought, ...how would it work to have a mic' in the back of the boat where the reels are? That way we could hear the drag strip, and it could create even more excitement???
All those wake boarders watch your videos. They call each other up when they see you on the water and gang up on you. Then they laugh their heads off as they watch the waves in the next video.
Ya know what Kat-Fish Dave.... Ummm, it's not only possible to get a large catfish of that chicken but you might also come up w/ a large/angry turtle? You never know out in the water & I've caught quite a few turtles. Scalded/cleaned my share as well but I don't eat them. My old neighbor loved it so we'd do it for him every now -n- then. Lot of work doing a turtle. peace
You have more patience then I do. The wakeboard boat black and yellow Malibu would have gotten one of those 8oz sinkers blasting the side of there boat by now. I have fished and wake boarded all up and down the Tennessee river. I would call TWRA and report them for getting to close to you. Probably some young kids sporting daddies 300k boat around
Over the years, I’ve learned that when you hang up if you use reverse psychology on your bait by simply saying it ain’t coming up a few times about 90% of the time it will come unstuck😂
I know that's irritating with all those skiers out there. It's almost as though they target the fisherman just to tick them off. That happens out there at the lake and I just call it a day and head somewhere else.
I don't know if you will dehydrate but you may well work up to a high anxiety crisis. It is amusing at first, until you keep carping on other boaters. Fact is it is public water and unless they are engaging in illegal boat handling these are the results. When I had a boat I could not pick and choose when I could fish so I had to go at the most active times for our local waters here in central Washington. I did the same as you, getting worked up, it was annoying to have other boaters disrupt the waters the way I wanted them to be. One day, a fourth of July, the lake was more full and stirred up than your video shows and I went fishing anyway, I had an unbelievably great day, lots of Walleye and huge Crappie caught with boats speeding around close all day. Admittedly there is a greater risk of one of these hitting you due to the crowding and the drinking but I learned that even with rough waters the bite can still be favorable. Try to relax, you are a fabulous cat fisherman and there are many more great trips on the water in your future.
My cat was sitting next to me on the patio when I started watching, now she is cowering under the table and looking at me like I am making that racket. Not sure what that cat was saying but it must not have been nice.
This is why I stay off the lake during the day in the summer time. But sitting in the dead ass middle of the lake cussing boats like you own the water isn't a good look, I mean what do you expect lol
That was more entertaining than watching two cats fighting over a dead bird. Thanks Dave.
The cat voice is hilarious!! Always love the bluegrass...
"Alright People .." gotta love this time of year battling other boats' wake and waves!!! Catfish Dave still smacks em!! 🤘
That cat's been working overtime on this trip . . . lol
I don't think I've every witnessed Dave cussin' so many times in a 40 minute video!
Hahaa!! He's wearing that cat out!!!
Good morning Catfish Dave, Thank you for your time on the water and videos
Great fishing trip Thanks Dave 👍👍👍👍👍 make sure you get up early Sunday and go to church.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Watching other people deal with wake boats and waves is so hilarious but Dave makes it way more entertaining!!
This is straight hilarious. Dave keeps me coming back.
.🎤🎶..'keep on a rocking me, baby' 🎶 😂
I feel your pain, CF. Thanks for sharing your journey!
Great show as always keep up the amazing work be safe my friends God bless all
Love your shows. Feel your pain with those wake boats. Just an FYI, you are fishing right out in front of the Chattanooga Ski Club so your gonna get rocked. Keep doing what you do!
Dave ran out of quarters, they're all in the swear jar 😂
Fellow East Tennessean enjoying your content. Recently got back into fishing for catfish and your videos have been very helpful! Thank you!
All the boaters want to be in your video!!!
Yup, too miserable to fish on any body of water on the weekend, bumper to bumper boats on Lake Michigan on Saturday in Summer... River Rage LOL Thanks for all you do!
Catfish Dave could be the new spokesperson against wake boats for the Alabama Bass Councel 😂
Very therapeutic Dave 🏆✌️ I needed this😂
Thanks, Catfish Dave, for stick'in with it , on this trip. And , inevitably, bring 'in home the BIGG'IN!!🎣👍
Just enjoy fishing 🎣. This is kinda like being in the boat with my old lady. There’s people having fun on the water. You should too.
C’mon Dave..you’re setting up at the Community Catfish Hole…I recognize the Nuke Cooling Towers
He's trying to catch a 3 eyed catfish

You gave the chicken an honest try. Thanks. Another great video. 😊
Catfish Dave you're fun to watch and you catch some daggone big ole catfish son, and that's for sure
Nothing better than watchin "" THE GOAT "" BACK TO BACK 🤙🤙🤙
Thx for the Gilligan's island throwback
If you’re packing up and double up you gotta stay!!😂
Dave sounds just like me when I'm trying to fish on the weekends 😂
I was there Saturday and all 68 parking places at the Wolftever ramp were full and Chester Frost was too. Add in Harrison Bay and Island Cove and there were over 200 boats on the lower end. Mostly wake boats and pontoons/tritoons. And yes...they DO try to swamp smaller boats.
Hello again Dave. Good show really nice fish. I just don't know where that kiddy cat kept coming from. Must have been from those. white water boats. any way keep'm coming.
Really enjoying the longer videos Dave . Keep them coming 👍🏻
Cat swears kill me 😂
You must remember that those catfish read every label before biting; when they see the Tyson label, they pass it up. It must be Perdue chicken!
I'm in NW Alabama and I feel your pain. It's worse every year with so many pleasure boats it's near impossible to have a peaceful day fishing.
🤣😂🤣😂man I swear they do it on purpose when the see someone fishing. Man Ive cuuusssssed them sooooo much
Nice fish. When I was younger I was the guy with the wake boat. Now I hate them too!!! 😂😂
Fishing past noon, you'er THE GOAT
I hate wake board boats too. I try to fish early and get off the water by 10 or I go late and try at night this time of year. I never do well with chicken thigh. If I have to use chicken I use the breast.
You should put up a kitty counter so we can keep track. LOL
Dave I feel for you battling those boats. It's the same thing I deal with when I'm Bass fishing. Damn pleasure boaters make it tough... Sorry that your dealing with that crap, But i gotta say I can't help but laugh the way you curse at them, and the "meow" was cracking me up 😂
nice to hear the music in the background again
I've been calling all those pleasure boat people, wave runners the Wee's. Remind me of those insurance commercials with the pig has his head out the window Weee. Up and down doing circles Weee!!!
Catching catfish is the fun,especially a 70 pound plus!!! Rotten chicken is the best!!!
Better put that hat on, Dave. You dont want to end up like me with a bunch of spots lol. Awesome fishing!
I had to laugh at the Cat swears. I feel for you although you still caught some good ones.👍💪💪💪
Yup. Go to the Brainard areas chain of lakes in Minnesota.
Would the chicken work better if you left it in the back of the truck for a few days first? :)
How much do you think that big one weighed? Looking at the belly, its cut, and its length I'd say it was 50-55 pounds. Nice and pretty.
Dave, some of those weren't wakes, they were breakers. No sense in that at all, I agree. I mean, 200 yards can make a lot of difference and 200 yards is nothing in a wake boat.

Love the videos. Asking for a friend, ever think of washing your cooler??
I feel your pain bother, GREAT VIDEO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a good show...... You never know until you throw Now who said that? Oh. you did!!!!!!!!!!
All we can see now is what happens. That's life. Thanks Catfish Dave.
Dave, I just had a thought, ...how would it work to have a mic' in the back of the boat where the reels are? That way we could hear the drag strip, and it could create even more excitement???
All those wake boarders watch your videos. They call each other up when they see you on the water and gang up on you. Then they laugh their heads off as they watch the waves in the next video.
They do that to you there and I get them here. If I didn't know better I would swear that I was watching myself. It sounds like me!!!Lol
Love the kitty content and the banjo music!
Big dave covered up with boats,,give them hell big dave,u ain't got no luck dave they right there own ya
Awesome video Dave 🔥🔥🔥🎣🎣🎣
Glad you could at least salvage the trip Dave!
“The movie star, Professor and Mary Ann, here on Gilligan’s Isle “! I hate that Sht, bunch of horse hockey!
Dave, you need to do a catch and cook.
Dave u ain't having it today. You snappin
Knock em out Dave!!!! Wooohhhh!!! 🎣🎣🎣✌️✌️✌️
Love the agitation swarms of humans on various flotilla cause !! Pissin me off just watching it.
Ya know what Kat-Fish Dave.... Ummm, it's not only possible to get a large catfish of that chicken but you might also come up
w/ a large/angry turtle? You never know out in the water & I've caught quite a few turtles. Scalded/cleaned my share as well
but I don't eat them. My old neighbor loved it so we'd do it for him every now -n- then. Lot of work doing a turtle. peace
Thought them boats was only in ky 😂😂 still put the smack down on them cats.
Hey Dave what size dragging weights do you use in heavy current? I’m not sure if mine are actually staying on the bottom or not.
Banjo Dave's on good fish again.
I bass fish out of a 17' bass tracker. I can relate to the wake pain he feels.
Hey Dave you ever see the Flying Dutchman while you're out there in your boat
Be careful Dave. Hate to see you get arrested for Boat Rage instead Road Rage is there such a thing?
Wonder if you’d have better luck with chicken heads ? 🤔 😝 ✌️🤙
Do you think the bite below the dam is a couple weeks behind the lake due to the cooler water?
I’m the worlds dart board too Dave, but I’m facing away from them ,and a dart in the ass is no fun !
You have more patience then I do.
The wakeboard boat black and yellow Malibu would have gotten one of those 8oz sinkers blasting the side of there boat by now. I have fished and wake boarded all up and down the Tennessee river. I would call TWRA and report them for getting to close to you.

What is your standard line ?? Possibly 30-40 Trilene big game mono ??
Why not give them some biscuits and gravy after the chicken hahaha
That cat fight though 😂😂😂😂
It’s always 20 more minutes for me too
Hold on! 5 mins in and no description of the days food delicacies? What is the catfish Dave show coming to? Sheesh😂😂😊
Hey Dave I'm a new scriber and just curious, why don't you complain, LOL?I like the catfish that you catch.
Chicken works better if you choke it first. You have to choke your chicken. 😂
Dam dave when are u goin wash the boat agin 😊
I know that's irritating with all those skiers out there. It's almost as though they target the fisherman just to tick them off. That happens out there at the lake and I just call it a day and head somewhere else.
Dave ,, Getting after'em once again ! I'd call that a good day out on the water. Except for stupid pleasure boaters, with no regard for fishermen.!

I love the cat call
Old Dave is back complaining about boats, dagblasted dogs, dagblasted lawn mowers, Someone is using a leafblower in my video. I missed ya Old Dave!
Reduced chicken = increased salmonella 😂😂😂😂
hey dave, got some tates chocolate chip cookies here 😂
You should get a wake boat and then the other wake boats may leave you alone
My cat was sitting next to me on the patio when I started watching, now she is cowering under the table and looking at me like I am making that racket. Not sure what that cat was saying but it must not have been nice.
Did you end up getting blood on the front of that lucky shirt Dave??
Our catfish in Ohio hate hormones in their chicken, too!
Just another day in paradise 😮😮😮😮
😂 that. Video. Audio. Srewed with my cat bad
This is why I stay off the lake during the day in the summer time. But sitting in the dead ass middle of the lake cussing boats like you own the water isn't a good look, I mean what do you expect lol
Your awesome Dave
** you're
@@jimsiefkas2024 really? Seek help lol
@Randy-jz9ox what's wrong with proper grammar? what's wrong with steering people in the right direction?
Nice fish!
