When I see those people on tiktok that throw out 8 plus rods that are all neon colored and glowing I think their complete idiots tbh. I don’t see the point in it at all other then trying to be flashy for views.
@@marcuslarwa9098 maybe ...maybe that's jus them being them though . Who knows . Anyway there are alot of punks out there tryin to capsize ND loose all there gear with the tags and stickers on em half o em don't even know how tie there Dang shoe let alone a good ol rocking chair knot . Kinda guys you ask to get you a metal stretcher or if he's a real chump hey grab me a can of wind stop will you come on man. And when he goes ,,...can of wind stop with his hands out to the side shruggin his shoulders...see thats when you double down give em a hard look like come on dude are you gonna even try ? Lol if not this might not be the best fit for you huh? hours goes by ND you actually get some work done cus your not fabricating bull dodo bout green handled shingle stretchers wind stop and orange handled metal stretchers haha
i could hear a thousand people saying "bless you!" when the king of catfishin sneezed :-) (could it be that 60-pounder made Dave look skinny ??) LOL thanks Dave for all the vicarious pleasure!!!
I love how laid back and nonchalant you are when you get a bite, most people will jump out of their seat when they get a bite and grab the rod, but you just point at the rod and say, I think I have a bite when you know there is one on the line and take your time getting to it!! A true professional at catfishing with YEARS of experience!!! AND IT SHOWS!!! Keep up the great vids Dave and Thank You!!!
WOOOOOOO!! A 60 pounder Dave!! Yeah I think you're doing just fine on 2 Rods, my only complaint Dave is being in Central Indiana where we're limited to Channel Cat!! LOL!! Yeah I can drive a couple hours to the Ohio River but as a full-time Trucker when I'm out of that truck driving anywhere sucks!!!
I do believe what your doing has and is EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL. Dave there will always be arm chair quarterbacks who spend more time critiquing instead of listening and learning from the REAL EXPERT....Professor Catfish Dave. I have LEARNED MORE about catfishing by watching and listening to your entertaining and informative videos and I am certainly not alone. YOU help all fisherman to be BETTER at this endeavor.
I've watched you on utube for quite some time now. Before you had a boat even. I enjoy your content and don't care if you keep the fish or throw them back. You have a great sense of humor. Thank you for a entertaining and insightful view of fishing. I'm 65 years old and love fishing.
First off, Bless you..for that sneeze..lol Secondly, your no nonsense approach makes your videos both educational and enjoyable. Incredible Cat. Congrats!!
Good to see a 60 lbs catfish Dave. I was just watching someone else on a UA-cam channel in a kayak and he was fishing with worms and was so excited when he got a big carp. I glad to watch your channel you are a real catfish fishing man.
Dave u catch 60 pounders like they ain’t nothing !!!you have caught so many of those it’s crazy ! I got buddies that’s fished their asses off and got PBs of 40 and 50 pounds U are the cat fish legend, no question !
Nice fish, Dave! Well earned. I've watched "those guys" who use multiple rods and have more tangles than anything else. Just keep doing what you're doing, Dave! 👍
You only need two more rods in your boat and that’s my two rods. Keep up the great videos and I appreciate all the things I have learned from you. Some day you should come to my neck of the woods over on Lake of the Ozarks . You would certainly have a dock to use and a private boat ramp.
Great fish Dave. As a northern fisherman I only use 2 rods and would love to catch the amount you do. We have channel cats here and so far i have only small catches of a few pounds only but keep trying. Love your videos and tips.
THANK YOU! I've always wondered about those guys... after all, if you're doin it right... are in the right area, you'll just end up with more that one on at a time, and you can't do anything with more than 1 or 2 rods at a time! so the others just run around tangling everything else & get off the hook
Other than the bigs… nice eaters. I went out this morning and caught several eaters. Catfish étouffée over grits for supper with hush puppies on the side… delicious…
Your channel was the first UA-cam subscription for me going on seven years now. Hard to believe, you haven't invited me fishing yet😁😉 seriously though you are the only catfish channel I look forward to watching. Keep being you Dave. You'll break that PB eventually 😉 I only know one person who has caught a hundred pound Catfish from the bank and that man is Catfish Dave✌️❤️
Great job!! Family friendly and great instructions for the youngsters and older people alike. Ill bet your a mentor to a lot of kids worldwide. Keep up the good work.
I believe the hostage approach is best. Mr. 60 had to come aboard to free his baby brother. They all got scared when you started talking about using catfish for bait. Thanks for the great video and showing us how it is done. Great reward for all the work. If I caught a fish that big, it would just be by accident. Your consistency demonstrates you know how to get the big ones when it is dink time for most everyone else. That fish looked built for many more pounds in the future. Thanks for letting him go back to grow even bigger.
I think the most important thing is being where the fish are at and having the bait they will eat. The next important thing how to fish it. That’s where you shine Dave.
I love what you do Dave, and for the guys that don't...watch another fishing video with 10-20 poles in the water. You have mastered what you do and there will always be that guy who "knows more"😂😂The fish actually spoke for you💯
You only need two more rods in your boat and that’s my two rods. Keep up the great videos and I appreciate all the things I have learned from you. Some day you should come to my neck of the woods over on Lake of the Ozarks . You would certainly have a dock to use and a private boat ramp.That’s a nice cat.
I have been subscribed for quite a while. Your videos are both entertaining and educational. Who cares about how many rods! I love the fact that your genuine, and I especially like the sarcastic flare. I agree that you shouldn't change a thing, and I look for your videos every day. Love your channel!
I only subscribe to two fishing channels, yours and another guy who fishes around the world. You have the skill, and the wisdom to catch enough fish with just one or two rods. Seems to me, the people who complain about you not having enough rods are overcompensating for their lack of skill and knowledge about the art of fishing. More is not always better.
When I first saw one of your videos and thought that this is a man just likes to watch himself in video. I do apologize. I was wrong. You are definitely a seasoned fisherman. Thank you for the videos. I do appreciate. It
Oh nice job Dave, them turning that gate on and giving you some current got a Big one on the move. Please don't change Dave, you fish the way YOU want to fish. Thank you for the video, enjoyed it as always.
Well congratulations to The Master Catfish Catcher. There is more to come, I would bet my bottom dollar on that, great catch Dave, 61lbs of fighting fury subdued and in the net'
Some guys couldn;t catch crabs in an after hours dance club. You always land big fish, why do these internet goobers always have to tell someone that can really do it , that they are doing it wrong. Thanks for taking us out on the water with you, wish I could be out myself, but this is the next best thing, and I do appreciate it !
Thanks for all your videos I always look forward to the next one or an old one I haven't seen, I like to use two or three that is all I can take care of good
Dave you and I both know that you need more Little Debbi to really catch fish. However, you keep doing things the way you're doing them. But if I were you id have a bunch of potted plants in the front of my boat so you had some shade. That's easy enough to figure out. Good on ya for letting that one go.
With that thumbnail.....I thought you were using the old boat anchor trick again! Haha! Then I remembered your post on Instagram, about a 60lb'r. NICE FISH!!!! Ohio River has been SLOOOOOOOOW for me lately. Hoping it picks up soon. Going to try and find some new places.
Hell yeah dave on the sealine too ive used mine since i found your channel for 3 years now ive had no issues with my sealines saltist yes other expensive reels will work but i feel like a daiwa is enough parts are cheap if needed too
Don t worry about the hatters, their jealous. The fish was a monster !!!. 61# fantastic my biggest was a 26.2# white cat. Was down your way in April at Pickwick lake . Caught alot of strippers, smallies most oyer 6# . had fun with the white bass &Tennesee tarpon below dam out from jersey
Hey, Dave. I've been watching several of your videos and I love the simplicity of your approach. Do you ever keep a fish to eat and what size do you prefer to eat? Keep reeling them in, bro.
If they can't hack it tell them to get their jacket and watch somebody else this is the way you fish you satisfied with watch your doing keep up the good work love your videos
I've seen videos and Discovery Channel specials of guy's fishing for monster catfish on the banks of some US rivers using their " ARM'S" AS LURES AND RODS " both . They walk along the banks searching for holes in the bank and when they find one they stick their arm into the hole and the catfish latches onto their arm and the battle is on. I've seen huge catfish no the arm's of these guy's 20 lbs. and up . she's my god !!! I'm in Alberta ,Canada and we don't have catfish "but" we have sturgeon (fresh water) in our Bow River. and there have been some over 100 lbs caught.
Thanks big man, thank you sir. Lovin your vids brother, have been for a bit now. You seem, and sound just like myself in so many ways, like your battle with the Sun. I'm tellin ya man, I believe your a brother from another mother through and through,,, YES SIR!!!! I'd swear that was me carrying on about the boat swingin into the Sun, putting the Sun into the camera, that 1 in 4 chances thing. LOL! I know and understand the fight of odds. BELIEVE ME!! KEEP ON KEEPIN BROTHER DAVE
Keep doing things your way,it's getting the job done,what part of Tennessee are you located,I have family in Tennessee,one day I'll be headed to the hills myself,some day soon if it be the Lords will,stay safe and may the Lord continue to bless you and your family.
Yeah I don't like using more than two rods in a boat like that. It's just a mess when there's too many lines around. When I do bottomfishing with deadbaits from land I go for more. Great catfish btw.
Don’t change a thing. You clearly have the right feel for fishing.
He he's changing everything are you ready ?

He definately knows his area and his fundamentals. The rest is personality lol.
Hes alot slower to react when getting a bite like than id be
i could hear a thousand people saying "bless you!" when the king of catfishin sneezed :-) (could it be that 60-pounder made Dave look skinny ??) LOL thanks Dave for all the vicarious pleasure!!!

What a monster fish! All I need is 2 rods!!👍👍
Dave doesn't do an outro, he just shuts off the lights and assume you have somewhere else to go. I love it!
Dave you the man ! Tell em what you think and don't change a thing ! Your the only one I watch for catfishin !! Love your videos !!!
More rods waste more bait and only get a couple of fish. Indiana has a 3 rod limit and it hasn`t been a problem in 50 years chasing cats.
My experience is fishing in a boat with more then 2 rods you got 50percent more chance that fish will get tangled in the other line
I have been over that spot many times just boating I always wondered what was down there. now I know. Nice fish thanks for the video.
Catfish Dave
You are the man.
I have learned so much from you.
Thank you for being a real dude.
WOOOOOOO!! A 60 pounder Dave!!
Yeah I think you're doing just fine
on 2 Rods, my only complaint Dave
is being in Central Indiana where
we're limited to Channel Cat!! LOL!!
Yeah I can drive a couple hours to
the Ohio River but as a full-time
Trucker when I'm out of that truck
driving anywhere sucks!!!
Awesome catch Dave. You deserve it. All the trouble you go through to put out great content regularly. Thank you.
well said🙂
Yes he does. I'd rather watch him catch em anyway.
I do believe what your doing has and is EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL. Dave there will always be arm chair quarterbacks who spend more time critiquing instead of listening and learning from the REAL EXPERT....Professor Catfish Dave. I have LEARNED MORE about catfishing by watching and listening to your entertaining and informative videos and I am certainly not alone. YOU help all fisherman to be BETTER at this endeavor.

I only use 2 catfish rods at a time, but I usually have a 3rd rod out for some bait. You do you Dave, great day of fishing.
I use the exact same setup. 2 cats and one bait.
First off, Bless you..for that sneeze..lol
Secondly, your no nonsense approach makes your videos both educational and enjoyable.
Incredible Cat. Congrats!!
Dave, Look forward to the show. "lets go" God Bless
Dave , when we older guys are gone, your legend will live on. Your a remarkable Catfish fisherman. Thanks again
That’s why I like you Dave, you keep it simple and catch the heck out of good fish.
Catfish Dave you do your thing and don't worry about what everybody else thinks you are the man
Great fishing trip , you're doing it right Dave, thanks for a great video.
Good to see a 60 lbs catfish Dave. I was just watching someone else on a UA-cam channel in a kayak and he was fishing with worms and was so excited when he got a big carp.

U are the cat fish legend, no question !
Glad to see you are one of the good guys letting these fish go for another day
that was a fish of a lifetime. good job dave
Ive gotta say, the smile you had at 10:26 is the embodiment of joy. im glad you had a nice day, brother.
This old man used to fish a lot. Now enjoy watching you do it. Nice to have closed captioning.
Awesome trip Dave, thanks for sharing!
Nice fish, Dave! Well earned. I've watched "those guys" who use multiple rods and have more tangles than anything else. Just keep doing what you're doing, Dave! 👍
It gets boring waiting for bites. Some anglers like the extra rods to get something to fidget with as they wait.
I remember the whopper fish from a park bench. You don't NEED much. Do what you do. We appreciate your art.
You only need two more rods in your boat and that’s my two rods. Keep up the great videos and I appreciate all the things I have learned from you. Some day you should come to my neck of the woods over on Lake of the Ozarks . You would certainly have a dock to use and a private boat ramp.
Great fish Dave. As a northern fisherman I only use 2 rods and would love to catch the amount you do. We have channel cats here and so far i have only small catches of a few pounds only but keep trying. Love your videos and tips.
Ct here and your right only small channel cats. They love chunks of eels though
Same
We get channels up to 25 lbs at most here in NY. Great lakes on cut shad
while there are a few accept ions most states have laws against using more then 2 or 3 rods per fisherman i know of a couple that only allow one
Keep ‘em and eat em. Cook em in avacado oil. Goood!
i'm happy to see such a healthy 60 lb fish.
Them little dinks were just keeping you interested until the big guy came along. And boy was it a beauty. Congrats!
Great work Dave. You just keep getting it done.
I honestly don’t know how you can’t be a fan of what Dave does here.? My favorite is the humor then the fishing.
THANK YOU! I've always wondered about those guys... after all, if you're doin it right... are in the right area, you'll just end up with more that one on at a time, and you can't do anything with more than 1 or 2 rods at a time! so the others just run around tangling everything else & get off the hook
You're doing great, Honey, I'm enjoying just watching and listening.

You enjoy fishing, that is great as you are not in a big hurry. You take your time and have some enjoyment fishing. Take care.
One of your best videos. It shows why you’re the man!

How about a little volume
jimmy, from Texas, your doing a grate, you put more fish in the boat . So keep it up, doing good .
do your thing man. nice boat setup with that big tiller motor. I want one of them giant stripers down by the dam.

When Dave catches a big one we all get to be there !
It's your show. Do whatcha wanna do Dave. Keep up the great work entertaining us and teaching us.
Great job Dave...beautiful fish, the wife and I love your videos.
Well congratulations to The Master Catfish Catcher. There is more to come, I would bet my bottom dollar on that, great catch Dave, 61lbs of fighting fury subdued and in the net'

"Little bitty 'ole blue cat."
I'd be happy as a UGA fan at a UGA/TCU game if I caught one that size.
Whooo...what a big'un!
Great fish Dave...keep 'em coming & thanks for sharing
Great fish Dave.
I never fish with more than two rods.
I like to lay back and enjoy the outdoors.
River Monster!!! 62lbs, that is awesome, Dave!!!
Thanks for all your videos I always look forward to the next one or an old one I haven't seen, I like to use two or three that is all I can take care of good
Hey Dave, keep doing what you do.your the man.the legend.those people that are jealous should be watching golf.🎣🎣🎣👍😃😉☺️
You and that Haggins guy w his boy are the two I watch. Great job man. I love your style.
Dave you and I both know that you need more Little Debbi to really catch fish. However, you keep doing things the way you're doing them. But if I were you id have a bunch of potted plants in the front of my boat so you had some shade. That's easy enough to figure out. Good on ya for letting that one go.

That fish seen you he either thought you was ugly, or, hungry. Lol.. Great Fish!!
Dave-o...... You are the man brother! Best to do it in the present tense!! Thanks man!!
The most fun part of your videos is watching you try to net one of those monsters with just one hand.
Dave miss that original banjo music when you catch a big one! I just knew you were going to play it this time. Maybe next time!!!!
Catfish Dave: in case nobody has told you this - you are a poet!
I believe you could catch more fish with 1 Snoopy pole than most of us. I’ll just watch you and do what Dave wants to do. Hater’s will be haters.♥️👍🏼
Hell yeah dave on the sealine too ive used mine since i found your channel for 3 years now ive had no issues with my sealines saltist yes other expensive reels will work but i feel like a daiwa is enough parts are cheap if needed too
I bet the lake went down 3" when ya pulled that monster in the boat Dave.
One helluva job!
No need to explain yourself, Dave. Less is more when experience is involved. You prove that fact every video.
Easy Dave, the rest of us like you and what you do just fine. Don't worry about it.
That fish is absolutely beautiful Dave. Fine job sir🔥🎣
Good way to answer the 2 rod subject. Nice fish!
Don t worry about the hatters, their jealous. The fish was a monster !!!. 61# fantastic my biggest was a 26.2# white cat. Was down your way in April at Pickwick lake . Caught alot of strippers, smallies most oyer 6# . had fun with the white bass &Tennesee tarpon below dam out from jersey
Don't fix what not broken you're just fine Dave fish on great shows keep up the good work
Wow! Good show, Darling, fat fish are good eating, too.
Great video!!! Miss the bluegrass... Big Fish !!!
Hey, Dave. I've been watching several of your videos and I love the simplicity of your approach. Do you ever keep a fish to eat and what size do you prefer to eat? Keep reeling them in, bro.
That big blue didn’t curl its tail back as they normally do.. what a fish Dave !
If they can't hack it tell them to get their jacket and watch somebody else this is the way you fish you satisfied with watch your doing keep up the good work love your videos

Thanks big man, thank you sir. Lovin your vids brother, have been for a bit now. You seem, and sound just like myself in so many ways, like your battle with the Sun. I'm tellin ya man, I believe your a brother from another mother through and through,,, YES SIR!!!! I'd swear that was me carrying on about the boat swingin into the Sun, putting the Sun into the camera, that 1 in 4 chances thing. LOL! I know and understand the fight of odds. BELIEVE ME!! KEEP ON KEEPIN BROTHER DAVE
I love your videos I just started boat fishing this year in the Chickamaga and I have learned a lot from your videos
Great Jobbbb Dave keep on keeping on. You got this!!!!!
I've watched all your videos Catfish Dave... You are a true fisherman and a great one... Keep it up man
Keep doing things your way,it's getting the job done,what part of Tennessee are you located,I have family in Tennessee,one day I'll be headed to the hills myself,some day soon if it be the Lords will,stay safe and may the Lord continue to bless you and your family.
Love watching your videos. Great fishing 🎣
Glad to see the catch and release on all the catfish. Even the small one
We love you Catfish Dave.! 🌹
Yeah I don't like using more than two rods in a boat like that. It's just a mess when there's too many lines around.
When I do bottomfishing with deadbaits from land I go for more.
Great catfish btw.
