Me and my 10 yr old son watch you all the time. He got a new pb on our favorite catfish! The Flathead! Just a 20 lb'er. But it was a heck of a fight man! Good luck Dave. Get it wet and keep it tight.
Nothing wrong with those channels. I'm sure the mentioned towns appreciate your tourism spot on things to do. Thanks for keeping it real Dave. Stay safe.
I'm originally from Maine, spent 4yrs in TX and 7 yrs in OK, there's some really good fishing there,I now live in Florida and target crappie,I really like your show and subscribed to your channel,I really like your show !!
I gotta say Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge is the very definition of a tourist trap but dang if it isn't a fun place to go. Growing up in Knoxville we went there a lot and I had an aunt and uncle in Sevierville. In the early '80s we used to hit up this one go-kart track and get the local rate and go crazy in there. They would actually let only us once, just us 5-6 crazy 20 year olds on the track and wet it. We proceeded to draw the customers in with our antics. I can't remember the name of that track. The owner was a really nice guy and the fella who ran it knew his business. Those cars were FAST and the curves, banked but wet and slick as an eel's belly, made for some hair-raising spins and pile ups. Good times. I don't care what anyone says. Channel cats are easier and fun to catch. Out of the right water they're tasty. I'd eat some catfish from the Little Pigeon for supper tonight. I hope you get your discount at the cabins there. 😉🤭👍🙋♂️
Tell you what Dave, the other guy, D.M. & we know who I mean, he has to use 6,7,8 fishing poles just to try and catch a big catfish. He also copies off of your videos and then he makes one. The guy is ridiculous. Keep on catfishing .👍
I know a guy who caught a big flat head catfish probably 20 years ago held a state record which lasted about a year before it got beat he caught it close to smoky mountain knife works the catfish weighed 68 pounds he got it mounted
Even the bluegrass band on vacation. I will be up that way in August maybe you can point me to a good location to land a river shark like you. An I'm still waiting for a RGTFM collaboration that will be a epic video.
Would you register a state record catfish? I need a 53 lb flathead to break the Michigan record. I have Catfish fever & my urban hometown river holds some big ones. What do you think of a guy throwing back a 55 lb Michigan flathead that would have broken the record ice fishing without getting it recorded, so someone else could catch it?
Quick question for all you fisherman out there. Just took the wife a d daughter fishing and I had a stringer of blues. We get back to the ramp and I go get the truck. Come back to load up the kayak and looking for the fish I caught. I said where is my fish? We let them go. I said you did what? Their response was We ain't cleaning them. I said you won't even take a fish off and you decide to let mine go? Your over reacting she said. Needless to say I dropped them both off and I'm back fishing alone. Would anyone else out there be a little upset as well?
May was red hot here brother, in Santee Cooper country, at least for us bank guys. Right now the eaters are thick but I'm still picking at the big girls up river. Flathead are chewing in parts of the Saluda river now.
If its so shallow why dont you tilt you motor where it just low enough that the water intake will pickup water. The motor does not have to be all the way down. You dont have to worry about planing off. 🥴🥴🥴 uh uh I'm catfish Dave. Make you wonder if its an act or not.
You never know where you'll find a blue cat. I caught one about 20yrs ago in Lafayette Indiana on the Wabash river on a muscle I found in the river. I didn't know at the time that it was a few hundred miles north of where they are supposed to be.
you should come up where I fish the Missouri river by Omaha neb. the water is so fast here I think the average speed is like 5 mph that's movin compared to where you fish caught my pb last year a 57 lb flathead keep your line wet dave
As a kid, I was treated to a day of trout fishing below the Fontana dam on the Little Tenn River. In the predawn morning before the TVA opened the gates and started the generators, the water level was low enough to see the huge round moss covered boulders in the bottom of that stretch of river, some of those rocks were as big as automobiles! The rented wooden skiffs leaked so bad we took turns bailing out the water with a coffee can.
Do you need a special fishing license to fish with your 2 or more poles up in Canada we have 2 conservation license and a sport license conservation licence you can only fish one rod and sport I think it’s up to 3 rods per person
hell high day channel caatfish water is low 2feet some place bullhead catfish bonefine fish gar sunfish fresh water dram fish get pass them first to hot out 90 s need rain il forest park chicgo need rain jan 11 2021 water to low in the river lake pounds low water catfish small size catfish blood bait like dog food use fishbites shad crawfish
Great video! Glad you caught some nice fish! Maybe one day you could come to Wilson lake or Pickwick lake! Keep fishing Bro! From north Alabama ghenley35
And ,,There Was Fish In The Video 🦈👀😋,,That's Dinner Right There Y'all 🦈🎣👀😋lol ,, Same Thing Happening Here , Spawn ,Some Still Are Full Of Eggs ,Some Are On Nest I would like to say it's a little bit farther along than it is there ,but I don't think So , water didn't warm up as fast this year, Anyways, A Good Video , Keep It Reelin 🦈🎣👀😁
I thought I heard sirens in the background when you was hollering at the bird by the rich people campground... I was like damn you ain't been there 5 mins and them yuppies already called the law on you!!! LMAO Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!
Dave...I notice what a fight it is at times to get those circle hooks out of some of those channel cats' mouth. I think it would be an interesting video to have a competition between one rod with a regular circle hook and a rod with the barb bent down. I know that your hook up won't go down, but keeping them on?? I don't know. Be fun to see. I've watched every one of your videos since 2017 and I've never seen this discussed. Even though you release all of your fish. Not trying to be a smart azz. All I know about catfishing I learned from you. Being from the pacific northwest, I have never fished for them. Sure looks like a good time!
Dave gonna have to get one of those Gondola push poles to get around in that bathtub . I was just wanting for a big Smallie to eat one of those Bluegill ! I've seen Dave catch those Dangblasted stripped fish , even a few Largemouth on the Skipjack rigs , but I found myself really hoping he'd catch one of those Bronzebacks .
That`s how our Saturday night was, I did have 2 20+ class flatheads but 1 was whisker hooked and the other got into my anchor rope and broke. That`s catfishing for ya !
I got my Jon boat stuck in that river a week ago. I drifted down and realized the water was very shallow when it stopped on a rock 😂 I stepped out of the boat and had to push it to deeper water. The vegetation was so bad in some parts trolling motor would work. Catfish your brave fishing that spot of the river this time of the year.
What kind of clicker bomb you got onboard Lol. Still a great fishing video!!!! Pretty country up there!! I was vacationing up there last year DURING the coron o.....
Good show as always, thanks. Hey man, I got a problem, I started using circle hooks last year 8/0, and I have had 3 nice fish get off reeling them in do you think I should go bigger or go back to my old hooks were I can jerk the poles to set the hook? Thanks for your time.
Dave that's gotta be the first time I have ever seen channel cat hit bluegill. Amazing. The biggest channels I've caught weighed in at 13 and 14 pounds. Caught on Bee Jay's stink bait and nightcrawlwer
Polishing skeggs even that beats being away from my boat. I moved away to chase railroad work, I miss my wife... but I also miss my boat. I had her face time me just so I could look at it.
Another awesome video dave!! You got fish close to the house. We have been skunked the last 3 trips to loudon. Maybe gonna try melton hill for a fat flattie...
Hey Dave, I rented one of those cabins a couple years ago but didn't get to fish. How's the fishing there through the summer, does that shallow water get to warm to hold those channels in there
i didn't realize that you lived as close as you do to me. come fine Hiawassee lake a shot and show me there's a fish in it. I'm just starting to fish there and i have not had any luck yet.

Nothing wrong with those channels. I'm sure the mentioned towns appreciate your tourism spot on things to do. Thanks for keeping it real Dave. Stay safe.
Good mornin Dave.
Sorry about the dog.
But thanks for the laughs. Lol
Catch a big one !
"win the lottery but yet like motorhomes" hahahaha like you're confused that they might like a house they can travel in. That was great, Dave.
What is that annoying buzzing in this video?

Nice video Dave, enjoyed it

Great video dave. How much did severe county pay you for all that promo. Lol

Kind of commercial

Our buddy the kayak buy wouldn't be caught dead fishing for channels, he hates them😉😁😁 keep it up! I love your videos!!!

Hey Catfish Dave come Catfish or fish of any kind at Mendoza slough 🤪🤪🤪🤪

Miss your bank videos. You got casting skillz on level 100

I like the new rod holder setup! Are those the ones Hagen made for you?
WHERE'S MY BLUEGRASS MUSIC,AFTER YOU CATCH A CATFISH???? IT JUST WASN'T THE SAME!!!!
Why dont you open carry when fishing .... I mean it is ur right and u never know when u might catch an alligator trying to eat you .... Just wondering
I seen you fish with.chichen try pouring pack of jello on.the.chichen .mix it in good or coolad work for me on big blues
That clicking sound drove me crazy I couldn't enjoy the video
Nice travelogue mixed in with the C cats. A river is a different playing field than a lake. Good vid Dave, there were fish in it as usual.
Do you need a special fishing license to fish with your 2 or more poles up in Canada we have 2 conservation license and a sport license conservation licence you can only fish one rod and sport I think it’s up to 3 rods per person
Dagblasted heron! Dagblasted siren! Dave, everybody wants to be in your videos.
Man that was one of the most informative Dave videos ive seen .. Great video dave Thanks for sharing
I thought he drove all the way to Maine to catch catfish. That is Vacationland USA.
Nothing like watching a Catfish Dave video to make the day just a little bit better!
That guy eating the catfish must be trying to turn into a mutant or something 👀👀👀
I'm an OTR driver and I deliver to dollywood every summer and spring
The new hellcat rod looks sweet. Is that spinning rod BCF as well?
Back to my roots part 2 love your videos brother
That's where me and my wife were married at, at the court house in 1989 32 years ago
Dave resembles a southern version of Sonny Crockett.
Win the lottery but yet like motorhomes 😂😂😂🤣
3rd fish female again ?? how can you tell??????????
Never seen somebody like Dave seem to be so unhappy to be fishing then video it.
don't be giving your catfish away
how do you know it's a male or female channel cat ???????
Been there a few times. We enjoy the mountains once in a while. We are mostly beach people tho.
Is that river polluted like wattsbar? Are the fish more eatable from there?
wonderful invention the paddle you should get 1 lol.
wtg dave good vid buddy
Nice trip, Dave. And, hey, ya got to say most of those channels were respectable for the type.
Less talking more fishing content jeez
Should’a called the video up the creek without a paddle 🤣
Cmon Dave Take Justin on the Boat make a video together 🤟

i think the 3rd fish was a male
Dave we were getting withdrawals

Catfish Dave fix!!!! Stay safe and
keep your lines tight brother!!!!!!
That`s how our Saturday night was, I did have 2 20+ class flatheads but 1 was whisker hooked and the other got into my anchor rope and broke. That`s catfishing for ya !
Huh. I kinda figured Dave would've been cussing them damn cicades. But nah. Just a damn crane.
I got my Jon boat stuck in that river a week ago. I drifted down and realized the water was very shallow when it stopped on a rock 😂 I stepped out of the boat and had to push it to deeper water.

Good to know the catfish were hitting on live bluegill. You caught some nice ones.

im going to nick name you boo.
Net style of boat paddle
Man where i been fishing its 12"-20" deep, I hit a 4' hole and got excited! Fyi I bent my prop Saturday to
female 3 pounder ??
Polishing skeggs even that beats being away from my boat. I moved away to chase railroad work, I miss my wife... but I also miss my boat. I had her face time me just so I could look at it.
Nice job Dave. Always fun going back to your roots. Fun video. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏼
If ya plan on vacationing in that area be prepared to be there with about 2,543,654 other people. It’s always packed or so it seems.
I am certain that the Sevier County TN Chamber of Commerce really appreciate Dave making this promo video for them. LOL
Anybody have hellcat rods in stock?
Catch the fever is the name of company that puts them out. Best g fish outfitters here sticks them and also Hooker's terminal tackle. James Arwood
no pelt this episode?
Another awesome video dave!! You got fish close to the house. We have been skunked the last 3 trips to loudon. Maybe gonna try melton hill for a fat flattie...
Hey Dave, I rented one of those cabins a couple years ago but didn't get to fish. How's the fishing there through the summer, does that shallow water get to warm to hold those channels in there
i didn't realize that you lived as close as you do to me. come fine Hiawassee lake a shot and show me there's a fish in it. I'm just starting to fish there and i have not had any luck yet.
