    Oh cool night fishing. We would think 🤔 that's weird fishing for catfish during the day. In Michigan we start fishing for Flatheads at dark. Yeah they were biting at 3AM last weekend. My buddy got 2 after 3. Approximately a 15 & 25 LBer.

    Like the lower volume on the music. Thanks for sharing.

    I like to night fish if I've got an illuminated boat dock so I can see how to load up , some of the docks on Normandy lake here in tennessee and on woods reservoir don't have good lights and you can't find the dang dock when your headed in for the night , I have to use a big spotlight to cover the bank so I can see the dock area, if you have boat trouble you're screwed at night too , it's hard to get anyone to help you at night , during the day anybody will give you a tow but at night they are more wary about approaching your boat

    @CatfishDave, you should try the 12V black light LED strips for your night fishin. Not sure how they would video, but... They're cheap and they work great for night fishin ! They are plenty of light to see what you're doing and with a lil florescent tape or spray paint, your rods will be seen a mile away ! Good to see your still slingin the bait ! Some nice work there, a sweet flatty !

    I've watched Dave break rods using the same technique. Don't hold the rod one foot from the end and shake a 8lb catfish the rod will break. Dave has two videos with the same results broke rods. Still another good video. 😢 12:27 12:27 12:27 12:27 12:27 12:27 12:27 12:27

  • @davewatson3398
    @davewatson3398 Год назад +2

    You can see the rod break. CD puts a tough, hockey stick angle on just the top 2-3’ while pulling a fish out of the water and it broke. Most poles you can’t break if you keep them relatively horizontal. But, high stick one and put more the a 90 degree angle on the tip and it’ll often break.

    • @mr.d2329
      @mr.d2329 Год назад

      Dave has two videos night fishing and breaks 2rods with the same technique. Grab a rod 1ft from the end and bounce a 8 lb. fish it's going to break. Someone commented contact the rod manufacturer.Maybe look at the video.

  • @ut000bs

    Dave, now that was a pretty flathead. We used to go catch eaters once a year or so up the French Broad by the Little Pigeon River. That was the only place I knew to catch flatheads that I would eat cause of the pollution and all. If it was about 5 - 7 pounds it was dinner. Ten pounds was too big.
    I was 10 years old before I found out their real name wasn't mud cat. That is growing up in East Tennessee for you.
    Thanks, Dave. I had a good time fishing with you but fortunately mine was sans bugs. 😉👍‍🎣
