Yo Dave ..Fuck they opinions . you a damn good fisherman and we all know u respect the fish . Keep up the great work . damn blasted haters out here make me sick
Poor old girl she probably right handed reeling with a left handed rig. Lol the pole is bigger than her. She’s a cougar for sure bud. Man if You ever come to Louisiana hit me up we got some good catfish holes out this way. I love the videos keep them coming..
As a salt water fisherman anything that's the right size is eligible to become cut bait. My youngest son is a mechanic and one time he brought me a five gallon bucket half filled with used tire weights. A small cast iron skillet and my old coleman stove and it didn't take long to melt plenty of lead down and I would fish the steel clips out. I like the football shaped weights for carolina style rigging so I bought a mold and made my own for years. I also use old cast net weights.
Have you poured any lead yet ? Light a cheap candle like a birthday cake type and hold your molds over the flame getting suet inside of the cavities and sprues. Get them good and black especially the sprues. This will help the flow in and release easier.
You’re cool man you’re cool what you say makes a lot of sense for real I enjoy watching you catch fish and your little jokes with there real jokes. God bless.
Just wanted to say that if that is the Caney Creek in Roane County, that my grandpa and I have caught quite a few 50lb+ in there. Also caught a 70lb flathead in the Emory River about 5 minutes down the road from Caney Creek.
Very interesting video, you show a lot of patience with your lady friend. Nice bag of goodies from your friend Karl. Your singing and picking adds a nice touch instead of the usual garbage on other peoples fishing videos and a pretty hot lick at the end of the video. Thank you.
People are going to talk no matter what any of us do. It's the food chain big fish eat small fish. Just helped it along. Another East TN youtuber uses crappie quite frequently. I can only imagine the cursing g he gets. Loved the video as always Kombatt Karl is such a great guy noticed he has given a few youtubers gear and shoutouts.
That’s great to see folks helping one another and making connections. I’m always amazed about the things I don’t think about before those learning opportunities happen. Like you said it comes second nature to you so you don’t think it down to all those details. My wife is the same way, but what makes me happy is that I know when she comes out to fish with me she’s doing it for me and cause she loves me more than any other reason. Thanks for the videos, I’d been bass fishing for the last few years almost exclusively and you reminded me how fun catfishing is so I’ve been going out lately.
I ordered a melting pot last year and bought molds for bank sinkers and i have been making all my own saving money on waits i dont even buy lead anymore i get it free out of old car batteries then melt it down and make a ton of bank sinkers ....i also vacuum seal my skipjack and freez them myself that is another thing i think you should try i do really well on them i have never had a problem catching huge flatheads on frozen skipjack i have thrown fresh gizzard shad and shellcrackers out and frozen skip at the same time and they will always hit the frozen skipjack and it wss in the freezer for 9 months but its still preserved so fresh and bleeds like i just cought it and i dont use salt at all just vacuum them while still fresh and they stay fresh...good job tho love the video Dave
I'm a little late to this party but I just wanted to say that you don't owe anybody an apology for anything that I've seen you do. I've used small catfish for bait and have fished with trot lines and jugs my entire life. And when we are setting out trot lines or running jugs we are fishing for meat. I love eating fish and so does my entire family and the best way to fill the freezer is with trot lines or jugs. Hell, I've caught huge Flatheads that ate the channel cat that ate the Bluegill I originally baited the lines with. Mean ol' Flathead! Don't get me wrong, I release pretty much everything I catch on rod and reel. Unless it's a pan size Channel and we decide we want fried fish for supper that night at camp. I've never understood people who watch videos just to hate on them. They don't have much of a life and should just shut up and take care of their own household. Keep on doing what you're doing Dave and I'll keep watching.
U should put a couple videos out of you playing some music.. or use some of it to play over your fishing videos. Didn't expect the intro honestly sounded really good.. and I'm not big on country but I'll listen to u my friend
first hes gonna have to learn to sang ,and then pick a guitar aahh!,, just pullen your leg Dave you do a good job picken and sangin just dont stop slayin the bigguns.as far as catfish for bait try yella bellies they work great!!....
Dave don’t worry about those people man one catfish here and there never hurt anyone especially when there’s people that might catch 10 or more a month just to eat and that’s not wrong either
Great videos. I'm on the other end of the spectrum from the ones saying throw them all back. I love to catch, and eat catfish. I understand throwing back the big blues, some are terrible tasting, but those dinks in a little cornmeal and grease are scrumptious!
I also catch and eat. I have caught 1000's of fish and not one over 15lbs. It was released. 3-4 lbers are great eating, I just had a fish fry yesterday for family. Had to run out and buy a new fish cooker as when i turned the propane on to mine and reached for the other valve to set flame the top of my regulator blew off into my hand. It hurt like hell and also hit one of my fingers right on the nail and blood gushed out. Got it stopped had people on the way and just went to find another regulator at home depot. None like i had. My Son was with me so he said happy fathers day early and bought me a new fish turkey fryer, Got back and folks were there and what was supposed to be a 6pm meal ended up being a 9pm meal. Everyone got there belly full and i had fish for breakfast lol. Here in Texas it is highly illegal to use catfish for bait though.
I'm a new fan dave.... I just subscribed to you... ain't no one perfect man... people been hunting and fishing for food for 100,000+ years man.... I think your entitled to harvest a fish man... anyone says otherwise is being intellectually dishonest. The majority of people out here aren't vegans and if it weren't for the structure of society today those vegans wouldn't survive. We are omnivores... thats our nature... and using food to catch more and bigger food ain't nothing new. As long as we are responsible and make sure there is a future for those species we hunt and fish for, and we don't drive them to extinction, then we are fine... we are responsible and ethical sportsman... we do not wish to eradicate any species... its nature brother... you did nothing wrong and you and most people who know how the world really works... know it.
He’s biting me so What pick him up----- 🤣i bout died laughing 😂 i tell that to my daughter all the time when she’s whimpering about something now her mom complains about cool weather and my lil girl says so what put a coat on 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣hahahahah Dave do your thing you cant keep everyone happy besides what they would do in that situation is their deal your situation your deal😁😁😁😁Keep fishing God Bless
Great video C.D..Keep taking cougar she loves you she will love cat fishin eventually then you'll have a fishin buddy as well. 47yrs with my love she loves perch fishin nobody I would rather fish with. Really like your videos hope you keep them comin. I'm stove up your videos help give me and many others a fishin fix to tide us over . Thanks. Country boy catfish Dave!!!
all those folk that think you killin' a catfish was a horrible thing.. Never stop to think about the fact that the shad and skipjack you use is not exactly alive either.. you take what you need and leave the rest.. I only keep the fish I want for dinner that night otherwise I let them all go myself.. But I do occasionally eat fish.. and for the bleed hearts that think this is terrible.. I must say this.. is killing plants not the same thing? they are living things? you have to kill to stay alive.. no matter who you are.. thanks for the pickin' David.. carry on!
YOU'VE GOT A GOOD SINGING VOICE KATFISH DAVE , DO YOU DO ANY SOUTHERN ROCK ?? MAYBE WE CAN HOOK UP AND DO SOME STUFF. I LIVE IN EAST TN. I HEARD COUGARS WERE MAKING A COMEBACK IN TENNESSEE !?😅 LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT BE SO. OH NO !!! I THINK WE'RE SEEING THE END OF KATFISH DAVE !!?
Great video Mr. Dave. If you keep putting your cougar in your videos you'll probably get over 100 thousand subscribers LOL. Keep doing what your doing God bless and tight lines.
I never will be in your league of fishing experience and expertise. I really enjoy watching your videos with my 6 yr old grandson... I appreciate your passion to do the right thing. I’ve also learned in life... to just consider the source of the negative people, to pity them and move on. Guys like Kombat Karl, gals like the Cougar, are those worth worrying about. Not the posers. Tight Lines. LK
Opinions are like "Bleepholes" everyone has one. Mine is keep doing what your doing. You have inspired many and you are very entertaining. Don't listen to the hate, some can always find a reason to be negative. B Positive and keep bringing the great videos!! Love what you do! Thanks!
Hey Dave, you keep being you.. You helped inspire me to chase my dreams and start my own channel on bank fishing on a budget.. Keep up the good work bubba.
your alright dave i would have done it to they should think all the babies that get ate anyways and all the ones u let go and some i would have put in freezer so what u did wasnt nothing cant make everyone happy is the way i look at it keep up the good work buddy
Another great video, I used to pour my own spinner baits, 1/8 oz lead heads & other stuff, the one tip I can give you is this, before you pour the first oz of lead is heat up your mold. I would sit my melting pot on my mold for 15 min & then flip it over & give it about 10 more minutes. If you pour into a cold mold it will not fill up until that mold gets hot. Good luck.. keep the videos coming, I have learned a lot for watching your videos. I am local maybe we will meet one day.. 😎
Do what you do best... Stick to fishing, but don't bring the strippers to the fishing hole leave them on the strippers pole... Damn Dave, she has more botox than your bait box has shad.
Im trying to think of what you could use for bait that wasn't alive once..so far i have rocks..and I'm not sure how folks feel about plant life..but I'll just keep thinking..
Those no roll sinkers take a few tries to get them right. I found dipping the wires in furniture polish ( what I had layin around and the hole in the bottle happened to be the perfect size) keeps the wires clean and easy to pull out. Can't wait to see a video. And Congrats on the first catfish!
One of your BEST videos Dave! Have some patience with her.........and you”ll have a fishing partner. Love seeing new people to the sport catching fish!!!
Nothing wrong with Using catfish for bait. People use bullheads and stuff. People now a days are overly sensitive. You were only experimenting anyways. It's not like you're doing it every night. You're not doing anything illegal I don't think. People with common sense would know that. Anytime someone is known or has some kind of success. There's always gonna be haters trying to Troll u and throw salt. Any thing u do will be under microscope. Don't pay them too much attention. You're a pioneer. That'd thinking outside the box. Making efforts to cut that gar and using it for bait. That was awesome. U gained a lot of hands on knowledge. We appreciate the data u provided us. For the sissy that's whining about u using catfish for bait. Let them Click the little x on the too right of the screen and don't watch the darn video.
Damn Catfish, is that a 000-18M? Kindred spirits my friend. Have you ever fished the Mississippi? Open invitation to stay with us in Davenport for some pickin and fishin
I've used 8-10 inch channel cats for bait for years. Don't worry about what people get mad about. Most of them are just looking for something to be mad about. That's just part of living in the offended age. BTW, great video. I really enjoyed it.
@@shiroikin I don't know the laws in Texas, but in Mississippi there is no limit on catfish. In the Tennessee river, I highly doubt that there is a limit since the river is poluted and there are signs everywhere saying don't eat the fish.
@@stephencorleymississippili4007 and that's fine, I watch a guy that has used crappie and white bass as bait, here in Texas thats a big no no. But in other places it's fine. That's why I tacked on know your state/local fish/game laws
She is definitely fishing for that big flathead on the bank. Anything coming out of the water is an added bonus. Don`t let her land you, Dave, pull some drag, and fight her. You might get lucky and wrap around something and break off. Just joking, hope it works out for you.
Good morning Dave and everyone ! You made the lovely young lady's night ! Your a fortunate man, she is very pretty ! You play the guitar well and thanks for sharing ! In life now a days it doesn't matter what or how you do things. To some your doing it wrong when you don't do or see it their way. Fishing has it's own melody, just keep strumming and smiling !
The way I see it Dave, you do more to conserve catfishing for future generations than about anyone who would criticize you! I've watched you release I don't know how many huge cats over the time that I've been watching... Taking a "dink" now and again for bait isn't going to be noticed by anyone but those who have a NEED to sit in judgement of others, and if they would stop licking windows long enough to put some thought into things.... ;) How long have you been pickin?
Dave great as always, my wife likes fishing too but she doesn't care much about live bait but will unhook some fish, always catches more fish than I do which is ok with me. Jeff in LA USA
Haters gonna be haters, don't sweat the petty stuff and pet the sweaty stuff. Nothing wrong with keeping a dink here and there. Heck if they gonna cry just cut a filet off 1 side batter it fry it up and use the other filet for bait. I'll try it when bait gets tiff to find.
Dave I think you did a great job explaining the whole catfish for bait topic. You just keep doing what you do. You explained this approach very well from the beginning. I just don’t understand some people who thought it was bad. Did they complain about skip jack or shad or crappie? Some people just want to complain about everything. Nice guitar playing Also. What kind of bait did you use to catch your cougar!! 😏
You absolutely have the right to the dink if any one does I use bullheads regularly And a small channel is better eating than a bullhead makes sense it would work
There's always haters, you can't please everyone but I for one think you do a great job, keep up the great videos and thank you for sharing your knowledge
Thank You Dave, really appreciated this one
OMG how did i miss this????? I heard you sing the song in your truck and thought you should record it.. there it was all this time..... love it.
Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.
Yo Dave ..Fuck they opinions . you a damn good fisherman and we all know u respect the fish . Keep up the great work . damn blasted haters out here make me sick

I'll never get enough of that video, you're the BEST Catfish Dave
You’re cool man you’re cool what you say makes a lot of sense for real I enjoy watching you catch fish and your little jokes with there real jokes. God bless.
AWESOME song for a intro
I like hearing u play and sing
Great video, thanks.
Is that what i think it is?
Just wanted to say that if that is the Caney Creek in Roane County, that my grandpa and I have caught quite a few 50lb+ in there. Also caught a 70lb flathead in the Emory River about 5 minutes down the road from Caney Creek.

explaining to a complete new person with fishing when to reel and not to reel is probably the hardest thing to teach about fishing.

Good job young lady. It took my wife some time but she finally became a good fisher person. 30 lb blue cat is her pb.
Dave don’t worry about those people man one catfish here and there never hurt anyone especially when there’s people that might catch 10 or more a month just to eat and that’s not wrong either
Just tell all the haters to kiss your ass, this was a good video and the cougar just about outfished you dave lol

Legally speaking you can't do that where I live. Here in Texas you should be tossing back cats smaller then 12in
now don't get me wrong by all means use it for bait just understand your state/local laws on conservation.
Like bullhead catfish actually make great bait.

Karl is one of my other favorites. Didn't know he was such a nice guy too but I'm not surprised.
the release had you laughing haha. great videos dave keep it up man
Nice video as usual Dave,,that little cougar is a Trooper, lmao,,,don't be so hard on her,,, ""Banjo Music"" remember.
She has experience with meat still on the hook now
The way I see it Dave, you do more to conserve catfishing for future generations than about anyone who would criticize you! I've watched you release I don't know how many huge cats over the time that I've been watching... Taking a "dink" now and again for bait isn't going to be noticed by anyone but those who have a NEED to sit in judgement of others, and if they would stop licking windows long enough to put some thought into things.... ;) How long have you been pickin?
I have never took it serious but have always had a guitar laying around
Good job Pat, the cougar, appreciate yall sharing.
Man we all need a buddy like combat Carl
Hell. I had a guy tell me not to use yellow perch, for bait. Can't please everyone. Lol.
Dave great as always, my wife likes fishing too but she doesn't care much about live bait but will unhook some fish, always catches more fish than I do which is ok with me. Jeff in LA USA
Haters gonna be haters, don't sweat the petty stuff and pet the sweaty stuff. Nothing wrong with keeping a dink here and there. Heck if they gonna cry just cut a filet off 1 side batter it fry it up and use the other filet for bait. I'll try it when bait gets tiff to find.
Daddy Like Cougar.
Dave
I think you did a great job explaining the whole catfish for bait topic. You just keep doing what you do. You explained this approach very well from the beginning. I just don’t understand some people who thought it was bad. Did they complain about skip jack or shad or crappie? Some people just want to complain about everything.
Nice guitar playing Also. What kind of bait did you use to catch your cougar!! 😏
I'm 40 miles away from lamesa in big spring TX.
I'm sorry lol I'm ready to move lol no fishing here
@@catfishruinedtrophycatfish7998 I completely understand not much water in west Texas. San angelo is the closest place for good fishing.
It doesn't matter what you do, people will always want to bitch. Happy Fishing!
You absolutely have the right to the dink if any one does I use bullheads regularly
And a small channel is better eating than a bullhead makes sense it would work
Awesome dave!! Its awesome to see younand your lady out fishin! Your an awesome teacher too!
Dave you be nice to that Cougar! 😂😂😂 I think she did good. Poor thing was struggling...lol
Where did you find that slim trim lady Just moved here from California never going back but she looks like California girl ?
There's always haters, you can't please everyone but I for one think you do a great job, keep up the great videos and thank you for sharing your knowledge
