As someone who takes the boat out 3x a week to fish, I didn't leave the house this weekend for this reason! Glad to see you still went out anyway even though you didn't catch much!
people in their boats on a holiday weekend when it's hot out are what keep me off the water at those times especially when I'm trying to fish. But that's what being on the water brings.
Now the nice weather is here Dave, your best bet to beat the jet skis and pleasure boaters is night fishing!! I can't wait to see you night fish again for those monster flatheads!!!
I worked all weekend then waited till after Memorial Day to go fishing. Just trying to follow your advise and avoid all the traffic . I got a 6-8 lbs blue on some freshly caught skip jack head. It was a tough bite, but I threw out the gut pocket next and hooked a 30lbs fish. Hot dog , I'm a happy man. May have to get a bigger net lol. Thanks for all the tips sir, wishing you well.
we had to deal with all the boaters plus the wind this weekend also dave ,great video and keep them coming...ps. i did manage a decent one 24.3 bluecat on a planer board...
Your awesome thanks for the videos.....unfortunately I had my livescope out on east fork lake Monday and we helped find a body in the lake of a 15 year old kid it was so sad.....your videos help me take my mind off of that day as I sit here at 5am cause I can't sleep so thank you
I don't even bother with holiday weekend fishing or hunting. Even your average weekend gets hectic at certain times of year (spring & fall). Glad to see you stuck it out long enough for a couple of nice cats. Going out on Lake Wilson tomorrow, gonna throw a few lines.
My guess is Dave would never wear sunscreen, so in the interest skin cancer awareness, please get the top Dave. Might keep a little rain off you too. TT Hagen about it! He’ll set you up!
Hey dave,,,,,love watching your vicious, I don't go to the lakes much in the summer because of wake boats and pontoons. Just to aggravating.these wake boats are a huge problem but I do go below the dams catfishing,,, my fishing takes place in the fall and winter,,,,,have ya ever thought about it ,,,,,we need two more lakes built by tva to relieve some congestion
Holiday weekend fishing is the worst. Dave you are a warrior for even attempting it. I know you don't think there is any content right now with the spawn but if you are in the video that makes this a Catfish Dave video and that is fine by me. Thanks for all the entertainment.
Might try Normandy lake in west TN. when gas is more reasonable. Looks good on Navionics. I've crappie fished it once. Always wanted to try the cats there.
Well it was a Holiday Weekend...... It is what it is............. At least you got to do something that makes you happy... and you learned about some gear....
Ur definitely working hard for those dinks ! I quit last week cause of traffic on the water ! Head prices rule wish the were like chicken wings two to a fish lol
I striper fish and I'm lucky when it comes to where I fish. I fish about 10 miles below a big dam, in those 10 miles the water goes from 79 degrees to 54 degrees when they generate and it keeps the pleasure boaters away from my area, it's kinda nice. Have caught several 50 lb stripes in a super small river, they come up from the lake to eat trout.
At least you didn't get skunked. Can you do me a favor Catfish Dave? Next time you hook into a big tank can you play the old banjo music one more time? Thanks. Huge fan
I jinxed myself. I got on the water early and saw 1 boat. Told my buddy that it must have been the gas prices. Not even 10 minutes later a wave of boats came in and we were swamped 😒
Did you hear about Hook Line & Chill Dave getting demonetized I hope Michael don't shut her down but hee probably will Keep On Truckin my friend I love you videos
Unless you edited it out it looks like the other boats gave you a semi wide berth. Thought for sure one of those boats would run over your planer boards.
Yeah went to the Mississippi to get away from the holiday pleasure boaters. Boat ramp parking lot was full of them darn weekend catfisher men in their Sea Arks n Walleye boats fishing my spots. I usually go on weekdays so I do not see them fishing “my” spots. Lol
I certainly don't condone lead pellets as a repellent for overly close recreational boating but my grandfather found it kept water skiers at a proper distance. Generally, laying across his lap, sun glinting off the barrel was sufficient. He would not tolerate foolishness. Test him and see.
Hey, Dave. Thanks for posting. You're braver, more patient or outright dedicated than I. Holiday weekends? Heck, I go into hiding, ie no time for Grizzwold stupid stuff. The fish will still be there after the drunktards go home....
I fish a river about that size got the pontoons running up and down slowly, not caring to much about your fishing then come dark here they still are cruising up and down, trying to hang the middle with no lights me I have mine on but as soon as I scan my bow light for safety travel and it even comes close to shining one of the dark runners they start screaming like banshees. It`s like that every night and the thing is every one of them is drunk as a monkey
I'm sorry but from the looks of the structures in the background would have been the most obvious clue that there would be quite a bit of boat traffic. Not just for a holiday weekend but any weekend. Looks as if there is a lot of people either living on that reek or have water rights. It is a two way street, you give respect and get respect. I never saw one disrespectful boater. Not trying to bust your chops but you should've expected that and more.
Hello Dave, it was a fishing video because there was fish in the video. Mind you it was also a sandwich video, with no mention of what the sandwich filling was? Could this be a new twist to your already great videos, the winner, who gets the answer right wins a day out with you..
Still waiting for that drawing for my fishing trip. And I'm still buying dinner at the waffle house, 3rd shift only. Come on Dave that's gotta get your attention, a like, or maybe a shot at setting on that bucket
Well I stayed home this weekend and did not go fishing because of all the boats on the water plus I don't have my boat because some dummy hit it and destroyed it
Heard your cast net tried to leave your bucket,but security cameras showed ,that the bucket kept it from leaping out.👍👍👍
As someone who takes the boat out 3x a week to fish, I didn't leave the house this weekend for this reason! Glad to see you still went out anyway even though you didn't catch much!

You put up with all them boats longer than I could have good work Dave!
Great video Dave thanks
Dave, show us one of those Dagblasted fish with Stripes. Fish on. God Bless
Now the nice weather is here Dave,
your best bet to beat the jet skis and
pleasure boaters is night fishing!! I
can't wait to see you night fish again
for those monster flatheads!!!
!!
Thanks for taking us with you Dave! Seems like the others boats were pretty respectful, but still a pain.
A bad day fishing is still better then days no fishing..the man n the legend..👑 CATFISH DAVE 👑

Thanks for the no hype genuine approach Dave .
Your awesome thanks for the videos.....unfortunately I had my livescope out on east fork lake Monday and we helped find a body in the lake of a 15 year old kid it was so sad.....your videos help me take my mind off of that day as I sit here at 5am cause I can't sleep so thank you
I stayed home. With the traffic on and off the water I'd rather watch Dave. Thanks for the video. As I tell the kids, any fish is a good fish.
You have more patience then I do, I would have gave up with all that traffic on the water. Nice fish and a great video thank you.
I don't even bother with holiday weekend fishing or hunting. Even your average weekend gets hectic at certain times of year (spring & fall). Glad to see you stuck it out long enough for a couple of nice cats. Going out on Lake Wilson tomorrow, gonna throw a few lines.
Good thing you found a place without boat traffic!
You need to get a bimini top for that boat! A game changer! I put one on my boat and love it!
The heat not so bad then. Try it!
My guess is Dave would never wear sunscreen, so in the interest skin cancer awareness, please get the top Dave. Might keep a little rain off you too. TT Hagen about it! He’ll set you up!
Dave! Bimini top will keep the sun off your camera, too!! Triple bonus. @Brian Christy is on the money.

Thanks for another great video Dave
Dave takin up the whole damn creek lol
This video should have more likes and views! Great day of fishing!
Thanks for the video Dave we enjoyed it,see you on the next one.
You always catch!!! Love your videos! I agree! You need. BTop!
Dave, you had so much fun you didn’t even give it an ending!😂
Might try Normandy lake in west TN. when gas is more reasonable. Looks good on Navionics. I've crappie fished it once. Always wanted to try the cats there.
Dave your good cinematographer it's not always about giant fish it's the scenery of the Tennessee River
HEY Dave 🖤💯 the videos we need some new cougar videos like the ones back in the day.
lol Trophycatqueen comes to mind ;) She's a sweety.
Well it was a Holiday Weekend...... It is what it is............. At least you got to do something that makes you happy... and you learned about some gear....
I’m watching you on Tuesday the 31st and it’s 110 degrees in the sun , but anyway nice fish.
Where is the bucket
Wooooo! New CFD video just in time for my lunch break!
Gotta expect all of the boat traffic on memorial day weekend
Ur definitely working hard for those dinks ! I quit last week cause of traffic on the water ! Head prices rule wish the were like chicken wings two to a fish lol
Fire Water Marine also makes a very good catfish rod as well!
I striper fish and I'm lucky when it comes to where I fish. I fish about 10 miles below a big dam, in those 10 miles the water goes from 79 degrees to 54 degrees when they generate and it keeps the pleasure boaters away from my area, it's kinda nice. Have caught several 50 lb stripes in a super small river, they come up from the lake to eat trout.
I live at a lake in SW Mo.Your experience with t even try tourist boats is why I don't even try to fish on weekends or holidays.
11:30 Hey man, you just caught a divining rod.
You can use that to find water.
At least you didn't get skunked.
Can you do me a favor Catfish Dave?
Next time you hook into a big tank can you play the old banjo music one more time? Thanks. Huge fan
Dave. Magic8 wants to know where is the forty dollar bucket?
I jinxed myself. I got on the water early and saw 1 boat. Told my buddy that it must have been the gas prices. Not even 10 minutes later a wave of boats came in and we were swamped 😒
Hey you made a video and caught some fish that's a win!
Would the draggin weights that one end floats be good for bank fishing. Should cast good.
Just gotta know Dave did you put mustard on that there sammich?
Did you hear about Hook Line & Chill Dave getting demonetized I hope Michael don't shut her down but hee probably will Keep On Truckin my friend I love you videos
Any catfishing tips for the california san joaquin county delta
What kind of t bar rod holder are you using ?
yep! those 3 day weekends in nicer weather brings them out!
Took a Memorial day trip to Chickamauga once. Never again! Same reason. Just imagine what it was like on the main river.
Dave what you think about hook line and chill getting demonitized
Unless you edited it out it looks like the other boats gave you a semi wide berth. Thought for sure one of those boats would run over your planer boards.
What is your opinion on dragging at night?
Do you ever eat any of the fish 🐟 you catch?
Looks like most of the boaters were being respectfull though. All went pretty much no wake speed goin by you
Yeah went to the Mississippi to get away from the holiday pleasure boaters. Boat ramp parking lot was full of them darn weekend catfisher men in their Sea Arks n Walleye boats fishing my spots. I usually go on weekdays so I do not see them fishing “my” spots. Lol
Surprised you even found a spot to park at a ramp somewhere. Heck I just stayed home over the w/e.
I can't tell you how many drunk boaters drove up asked me if i need a pull in my kayak.. NO I NEED YOU TO GET AWAY 🤣
Here on Ky Lake. I wont go out at all on a holiday or weekends
Sir, you need some sort of shade on your boat. Love your videos
I stayed home this weekend I knew water would be packed with drunk pirates and half naked winches
What?! Where is your $40 bucket???
I like to troll next to the dock on Holidays. Many species catch and release.
I'm glad I work nights. I get the river to myself pretty much.
Hey, water👍
Mr. Dave , I wanna come fish with you
On Holidays there are more boats than fish... You stayed longer than I would've.
So you take up 75% of the creek with your spread in the mid-afternoon and it's the other boaters fault?
👍👍👍
I certainly don't condone lead pellets as a repellent for overly close recreational boating but my grandfather found it kept water skiers at a proper distance. Generally, laying across his lap, sun glinting off the barrel was sufficient. He would not tolerate foolishness. Test him and see.
I agree, Dave was certainly taking his half out of the middle.@@mikecannon2739
Great video, I like your banjo music better!
Hey, Dave. Thanks for posting. You're braver, more patient or outright dedicated than I. Holiday weekends? Heck, I go into hiding, ie no time for Grizzwold stupid stuff. The fish will still be there after the drunktards go home....
Where’s that Catfish Dave’s own music?
I fish a river about that size got the pontoons running up and down slowly, not caring to much about your fishing then come dark here they still are cruising up and down, trying to hang the middle with no lights me I have mine on but as soon as I scan my bow light for safety travel and it even comes close to shining one of the dark runners they start screaming like banshees. It`s like that every night and the thing is every one of them is drunk as a monkey
That's why I fish at night from may to September
I'm sorry but from the looks of the structures in the background would have been the most obvious clue that there would be quite a bit of boat traffic. Not just for a holiday weekend but any weekend. Looks as if there is a lot of people either living on that reek or have water rights. It is a two way street, you give respect and get respect. I never saw one disrespectful boater.

Memorial Day weekend is going to be really busy every time. Totally predictable. That’s why I stayed home.
I assume, you were in a no wake zone. Because the majority of those boats, went by awfully slowly.
If the bite is tough make a video about how to make your favorite sandwiches.
Three-day weekend early summer. Is what it is.
Man, how can You eat that sandwich without any Dukes Mayo???
Hello Dave, it was a fishing video because there was fish in the video. Mind you it was also a sandwich video, with no mention of what the sandwich filling was? Could this be a new twist to your already great videos, the winner, who gets the answer right wins a day out with you..
Come on down here to East Texas rivers if you’re wanting more company when you’re fishing!!!!
Im in east texas too 👍
“S” turn with them boats around. It clears the channel.
I just stayed at the house so they wouldn't ruin my day Sunday.
Still waiting for that drawing for my fishing trip. And I'm still buying dinner at the waffle house, 3rd shift only. Come on Dave that's gotta get your attention, a like, or maybe a shot at setting on that bucket
A lot of boats in public waters on memorial day weekend. What has this world come to?.... lol
At least the boats weren’t flying around you
you should make a BPS knockoff hat instead of bass pro shops, boats per sandwich
Well I stayed home this weekend and did not go fishing because of all the boats on the water plus I don't have my boat because some dummy hit it and destroyed it
It's a holiday...what can you say
I could have went with my brother on the pontoon that hes got
What’s up
bad bucket ,, lol
I wish there was s lake made just for fishing 🎣
There is no shortage of stupid on holidays.
Try switching bologna brands
That’s what I had to do to see less boats
I know you dislike a lot of boat traffic but they have just as much right to the water as you do
🤦 Lmao he knows that he said so at the beginning , 🤣 he’s a content “creator “ !! That’s why he was out there.. it’s the CFD show 👍
Dang you got to hate pleasure boaters they shouldn't have a right to be on the water, I'll bet they don't even pay their taxes or anything.
Should have known better !
