Hey Dave. Thanks for all your videos. I've been fishing my whole life and from your videos I've really sharpened my skills. Thanks again for the great content!!!
Honestly, my new favorite show. Can't quit watching. One of the best fisherman I've ever watched. Thanks Dave! I'm 50 but when I grow up I want to be just like you!!!
Appreciate your videos, if I can't go I get my fix by watching you and a couple other cat fishermen videos. Enjoy all you can before you get to old or stove up. God bless!!!
Hello Mr. Catfish Dave thank you. This was one of favorite videos. I was told to move all the time for the fish. Im going to start fishing my holes longer because i know there are some monsters there so thank you very much and god bless you.
Great advice, I've been working this one hole on the Tennessee river and every now and then I get a big girl out of it.. they are there they just eat when they want too..
Wow! Nice flathead. I live on the Mississippi coast near Biloxi and fish alot. I went fishing yesterday for 4 hours and nothing bit. There is just to much fresh water getting dumped into the sound. The rain has got to go somewhere. Anyway thanks for the encouragement, I will fish again.
Catfish Dave! I dig the bank fishing! You ever thought about a boat? I myself am saving up to get a boat so I know the bank fishing will work! Great video!
There was a spot on lake Barkley below a family members house that I fished for years with little luck. Kept trying new locations around the cove and styles of fishing and I can now go there and haul in fish with probably 80% success rate. Took a lot of time on the water to figure out the terrain and where the fish were at what time.
I've caught a few good fish in the same river dave 25-30 pounds not big fish necessarily but good for the small river in Logan county much love from wv dave
Love the videos keep up the great work, I'm from wv n i fish the Ohio mainly but go to any waters with big cats, if your ever up this way n want someone to fish with I'm always down to fish lol
I personally think if you sat in one spot that has good fish over and over I'd love to also see what all come outta that hole. That's just me though. Thanks catfish Dave!
I fish the dillion dam reservoir. Theres a spot where the spillway meets a tributary. We use gold fish. I told my son wait till dark and they will start biting. We had no hits until sunset. And then boom. One after another. Huge shovelheads.But that's our spot and it never fails. .
What's up my man catfish Dave I gotta say you make some damn good catfishing video's I been trying to go with you catfishing I live in Chattanooga am a really big big fan of yours I watch all of your videos love ya man
WOW...Catfish Dave,I'm a bank Fisherman more than by boat,when you use bluegil do you use live fresh cut bait,or the whole bluegil it's self? I live in Kentucky and not far from the Ohio,and it is really hard to find good "off the beaten path" fishing spots,most time I fish The Falls Of The Ohio,and don't do to bad but I really like the spot your at in this video,and great info on and about Flatheads patterns!!! keep them great videos coming!!!!
WELL I'LL BE DAMN, IM FROM WYOMING CO. WEST VIRGINIA, I lKNEW THERE WAS A REASON I LIKED YOU 👍JUST DONE SOME FILMING ON THE GUYANDOTTE DONE GOOD, IM BOUT READY TO DO A LITTLE CATFISHING THOUGH
I wanted to go out hard for flatheads this year but our lake is flooded, water will be going over the spillway tonight and there is no telling how bad it will get down river. With the lake so flooded, there are not any good places to put in and the fish are so spread out I dont know what to do. Lake of the Ozarks may end up getting closed to traffic soon due to Truman Dam's inability to hold back any more water. The Missouri from KC to St Louis is closed, the Osage below Bagnell that makes the Ozarks is closed to traffic as well. Its bad and it looks like it is going to get worse.
I watch your videos and I've never seen you fish Norris lake. Are there any skipjack in Norris? I live about 5 miles from there and I'd like to try it out. Thanks. Great videos.
Hey Dave, I live up here in northeast PA, usually fish the susquehanna River near my house for catfish. Chicken livers are the bait of choice.. Any advice from one angler to another?
Nice flathead catfish. You talk slot in your video about snags in the river. Could it be that most of the snags are from shopping carts that people throw into the river? Sincerely Robert Gildea
Hey Dave, how often do you go out vs how often do you catch? I'm hooking a decent sized fish about 1 out of every 4 or 5 trips, the others are dinks or I get skunked. I'm trying to switch up my spots to see if that helps, upgraded to a larger, heavier rod to get more cast distance and I only use fresh caught bluegill or frozen skipjack (when I can get them - skips seem to be absent lately).
I know this is true. Fishing the same spot that I know produces is how I got my biggest cat. That hole looks a lot like the one I fish. I caught one that weighed thirty or better and that's a good one for the area I fish.
Thanks for another adventure with you Dave! I've been trying large bait the past few weeks. I've upgraded my reels to clickers. I'm having trouble with the hook set. It starts to take it but when I go to set the hook I can feel the fish. Several large ones in fact. One felt like I was setting to a rock! But then a second later the fish isn't there... Am I setting too early? It's as if they only had the bait and not the hook. Any advice Dave?
So Dave, do you think if these spots were never over ran by folks that you would of never gotten a boat? I got me a boat in 2020 and Im not really impressed but people were over running my spots. Anyways thanks for all. Your hard work
Hey Dave, Enjoy watching your channel I was surprised to learn the seize of catfish in your part of the country. I have to ask, What kind of work do you do that allows you to fish so much?
Dave is a 3rd shift waitress monitor for Omelet Shop. I think. LOL The only thing I really know is, Catfish Dave is a Great fisherman who makes the BEST RUclips videos.
You definitely have a lot of skill and a little luck. Question: I rarely see you fighting mosquitos or bugs in general, given the lights, what gives here? Lol, I get ate alive on the river bank.
Hey dave, great fish. I'm new to catcishing for big cats. Fished for normal size all my life. I need good place to catch me some skipjack. Can you advise. Thanks
Dave this is you're best video ever, long time fan, hit this spot up again for us!!!
That was a video, there was a fish in it, and this is a thumbs up!

Dude if you fished the same place I'd watch...I am ready to get back up to Tennessee..

Talk to me Dave, how do you know how deep the water is in any particular area?
Whats the longitude rod with the stainless steel eyes it’s different from the other one

Nice Video
Look at that freaking pole?! Dang!
Dave. What is or are the lights you use at night. I know they're leds but what fo like?
Thanks
Great video, do you fish when the spawn is on? or fish differently ?
I know this is true. Fishing the same spot that I know produces is how I got my biggest cat. That hole looks a lot like the one I fish. I caught one that weighed thirty or better and that's a good one for the area I fish.

I like your channels
"Work that hole" - that's what she said. Lol
So Dave, do you think if these spots were never over ran by folks that you would of never gotten a boat? I got me a boat in 2020 and Im not really impressed but people were over running my spots. Anyways thanks for all. Your hard work
If I wouldn't if gotten a boat I wouldn't if had anywhere left to fish. Especially when that covid hit.
@@catfishdave8192 I understand that but would you rather be on a never fished bank or out in the boat?
Nice!!!!
Hey Dave,

What do you use to catch your skip Jack? I only live a little over an hour from Knoxville but we dont have skipjack here
WE NEED A LIVE STREAM OR 2 DAVE!
What camera gear do you run?
Wv guy I like it, I catfish the kanawha and Ohio river
Do you ever come to center hill lake
I used to fish bull rock when I was a kid
At 40 seconds in i asked myself is this the Chinese catfish and cougar spot? I hope you get the one you missed before. I'm hoping!
That was a pretty flatty
I have some great spots that I fish a lot for flatheads because I know that the spot produces fish
Me and my cousin are big fans we been talking about coming to fish with you one day let me know if we can
Hell good luck man
Right
Where can I get skip jack in Indiana
What kind of bug spray do you use? I've never seen you swat or bothered with mosquitoes at night.
He never take,s a bath the night before he goe,s fishing,and it seem,s to do the trick quite well,ha.ha.
Never give up
Hey dave, great fish. I'm new to catcishing for big cats. Fished for normal size all my life. I need good place to catch me some skipjack. Can you advise. Thanks
