When you're after big fish from the bank at least 8 times out of 10 trips you're going home empty handed lol. Great Vids Dave. Always enjoy them man keep it up.
I am so glad I come across your channel! I finally found someone who loves to fish but seemingly everything is dead set on making it not happen. The dog crapping in the shoe comment plus "im ought to start making bluegill videos" and the fact that everytime that damn boat come by the wave size gets bigger!!! LMAO!! I so feel your frustration, trust me, I know exactly how you feel! But hell, you brought a smile to my face so thanks for sharing how it really is! Subbed!
Catfish Dave I really Enjoy watching your videos.I love the humor you put into them, you make me laugh, once I start watching your videos I’m up all night lol keep them coming. BigJohn country boy from Lexington Kentucky.
Great video like always. Spoken like a true cat fisherman. I have sit and fished 2-3 days in a row and not even get a bite. But I still go and enjoy every minute. I just look at it as a challenge.
I watched this video when it first came out and since then I have watched it probably 10 times. And I will watch it again.. it has to be the best video on RUclips..👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Man speak the truth it's a big in flux of newbie cat fisherman. You gotta put in the time and grind if you want the clicker to wine!!! I say the same thing people don't have any respect for fisherman anymore. Keep at it
You're not lying. Been bank fishing for cats since 14 years old. Have had boats take my line in their trolling motors and kids step on my rods. It's a tough enough game with the fish let alone dealing with the unknowns. Stay positive Big Cat! 🎣
fast becoming my fav. channel if i aint cat fishing im thinking about it or watching it day dreaming about it thanks for sharing this is good stuff a lot of good info. determination to succeed is the best advice bar none
TOW; time on the water. You gotta put in the time. I appreciate your tenacity. I admire your dedication. You got a good channel and a lot of potential with what you are doing here. Keep digging here too, just like you do on the banks chasing catfish.
Hello CD, I just subscribed to your channel and I gotta tell you,you're hilarious. I watched some of your videos and it's amazing the fish you land sometimes but what gives me stitches laughing is your singing, swallowing bugs and not editing it out, pacing back and forth and most of all your dagblasted commentaries. I like it that you're so real, nothing flashy and you tell the truth about yourself, your fishing and sometimes failing. Keep it up, you're pure genuine.
Lol. You are a kick. I’ve been watching your videos for a few weeks. I do watch till the end to see what you catch. Thank you! You are all that and a bunch of cookies. Would like you and I some day to fish to catch a bigun. Silly guy❤️
caught my biggest flathead in 3 feet or so of water dave!i went out to the nuecess river i was using the ol noodle float with a gizard shad head BOOM,we sat there for about a hour i was so proud biggest fish of my life it was easy 25lbs off a old walmart setup before i bought my sealines great vids man keep putting the time in we're here watching grinding it out to!
I watched this and several other of your videos today. I remember you saying that “if you keep trying you will eventually catch a big cat”. This weekend I have been determined to get into the 20lb and up club. At about 7:30 this evening I caught a 38lb blue cat. Video to come
You should have hooked Gilligans boat, pulled him to land, thrown the dog on board let it poop on the deck. Then ask Gilligan " how you like that shit"?? Lol.
Great video dave. Your right it isnt all sunshine and happiness. I been putting in more hours then usual fishing and its been paying off. Ive caught more fish and a lot bigger fish consistently. Its all about finding out where the fish are and what they want and giving it to them. I have a mainly bluegill youtube channel but been bass fishing lately and caught my first catfish today. Thanks for the inspiration to continue making fishing videos.
my wife and I love your channel Dave, thanks for sharing your knowledge and insight. I've been a mostly catfish fisherman for most of my life, and yeah sometimes it's tough going. dang ole boats, posted lands, crapping dogs, (which aren't there leash laws?? same here. ) people with little to no respect. makes me wanna violate probation and go roadhouse on some people. keep on keeping on brother!!
I don't catfish to be a hero I fish to eat . I don't own a boat so I'm bank fishing 100% of the time I know the frustration. But still in love with it . No matter how many times I get hung up .
You know you are a cat fisherman when you spend a good portion, if not the majority of your time trying to catch bait so you can actually go catfishing. I know you are the real deal Catfish Dave because you are always after the bait. What’s really fun is when you are fishing for bait and you catch a catfish on your bait rod. One of the biggest cats I caught last summer was on a 1/4” piece of worm and a #12 mustad hook trying to get bluegill for bait. Ha ha.
True absolutely true david nice vid and no not all days are glory days ive been skunked more then my fair share but its worth it in the end in my eyes cause its what i love and eventually the BIG ONE takes down your rod tip and the drag is going out so fast it wraps around itself on the spool the sweet sound of love!
I had a cousin named David. Grandpa used to call him "Bitter Dave" cause he bitched all the time. So everyone in the family started calling David, "Bitter Dave." After a few years, grandpa changed his name to "Bitter Daisy." And the family followed. 😂😂 I'm not sure why this fishing video reminded me of that. 🤔😉
I cant believe that after he talked about the dogs, one dog suddenly appears, he's a magician. He knows what he's talking about. Just dont follow he's attitude😀
To keep the blue gill from swallowing the hook use a short shank with a small squeeze weight next to the hook. It works I was using the short shank with the pinch weight 6-8 inches up swallowing it. Found some long shank was thrilled it was even worse. Short shank.with squeeze weight next to it,give it a try. Weight doesn't seem to bother the perch don't seem to swallow it then.
This is the Jeff Foxworthy of catfishing videos!!!!!! Keep on keepin' on Dave! Nothing wrong with gettin' dink pecked every now and then. Tell Gilligan your in a no wake zone! Woooooooo!
I think the humor he used in this video went right over a lot of people’s heads. This was a satirical documentary on the frustrations associated with fishing. It was HUMOR folks! It’s OK to laugh.
Memorial day weekend here in Bowie Texas is near impossible to fish the local lake Amon G Carter reservoir. There are so many boats, jetskies, and drunks you can't catch any fish. For the same reasons it is dangerous to be there. Most any holiday weekend during spring and summer are a dangerous time to be at our lake.
You right on that i love just being out there catching them or not i love fishing you right on that if u just there to getvthe easy fish its not for you
Catfishing during the day can bring the devil out of ya. Lol, between the heat and the people I've been pushed into smashing my bobber off a tree and whooping the tree with my bait pole. I HATE summer! Love your videos though dave
Love the videos catfish Dave. I truly understand what you say about putting in the time. I remember fishing a spillway where I live at and catching multiple 20 to 30 pound flatheads. I remember meeting a old man that fished there everyday that had not even caught a 10 pounder. Told him I’m sorry to hear that but he told me he hoped he never caught a big one. I asked why? He told me then he would only be happy catching big ones from there on. I thought to myself he made a good point because once you feel the drag come off your reel from a big flathead your hooked. Well I hope you get that state record this year bud. Fish on
Love you videos man.. May not have got that monster cat..But you do have a monsters zit protruding through the back of your shirt.. Another product of fishing in the days Heat
I still would have kept the dying bluegill the big flatheads still hit cut bluegill in Tennessee ive cought monsters on cut bluegill and shellcrackers and they love cut crappie as well.... loved the video👍
I know alot of ppl say that its hard when there on the nest but ill catch more in the spawn season then i will all season, not only that on utube ppl fish during the spawn/nest time they hammer them to. When i got my catfish rods out ive always got me another pole catching Bass, Crappie, Gills, crawfish. Ill keep changing my bait up if i aint getting a bite with one bait....Be More Chipper Brotha and Good luck Next Time!
I Haven't laughed this hard at a fishing vid EVER!!! Love this guy! Someone give him his own mainstream show
youre saying what every real fisherman is thinking
Dave you are so true about what you said. More catmen need to tell the truth about the ups and downs of catfishing.👍🇺🇸
Dave, you are an entertaining Tennessee fishing trooper. Love the subtle catfish comedy and obvious love of fishing with a large dose of reality!
“He didn’t poop on my boot but I’m sure he thought about it” 😂😂💩
My favorite video 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm so glad to hear somebody else bich about the same crap I do.
This video should be called The Angry Fisherman. Lol
Exactly😂
When you're after big fish from the bank at least 8 times out of 10 trips you're going home empty handed lol. Great Vids Dave. Always enjoy them man keep it up.
Those marathon runs you take when trying to hook the fish are priceless 😂😂
I fished w a guy off a bridge that almost got ran over by a car countless times bc he pulled at lest as hard
@@johnsmithberg2798 😳🤣
I am so glad I come across your channel! I finally found someone who loves to fish but seemingly everything is dead set on making it not happen. The dog crapping in the shoe comment plus "im ought to start making bluegill videos" and the fact that everytime that damn boat come by the wave size gets bigger!!! LMAO!! I so feel your frustration, trust me, I know exactly how you feel! But hell, you brought a smile to my face so thanks for sharing how it really is! Subbed!
I have a boat. It's tough. People think if u have a boat u get a 80 lb fish every trip. I get $40 in gas every trip.
Damn you just opened my eyes
Yup I feel your pain
No kidding. 2020 has been one of the worst years ever for me. Also the first year I had a boat. lol
Catfish Dave I really Enjoy watching your videos.I love the humor you put into them, you make me laugh, once I start watching your videos I’m up all night lol keep them coming. BigJohn country boy from Lexington Kentucky.
Turn that frown upside-down 😁, and quit actin like someone kicked your puppy and stole your birthday! 😂
Here comes that dang dog from o'r there, he gonna come crap on my boat 🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Love your channel keep up the good work . Try to be a little happier smile a bit your fishing !!
Brock Young Ikr! He's angry he must have for got his snacks and got all hangry. Lol
You need to start Bigfoot hunting at night maybe you won't be by yourselves
Great video like always. Spoken like a true cat fisherman. I have sit and fished 2-3 days in a row and not even get a bite. But I still go and enjoy every minute. I just look at it as a challenge.
I watched this video when it first came out and since then I have watched it probably 10 times. And I will watch it again.. it has to be the best video on RUclips..👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great video man! A bluegill rod is a must when catfishing....lol...not only for bait but also to liven things up sometimes.
That's always my tactic!
Man speak the truth it's a big in flux of newbie cat fisherman. You gotta put in the time and grind if you want the clicker to wine!!! I say the same thing people don't have any respect for fisherman anymore. Keep at it
You're not lying. Been bank fishing for cats since 14 years old. Have had boats take my line in their trolling motors and kids step on my rods. It's a tough enough game with the fish let alone dealing with the unknowns. Stay positive Big Cat! 🎣
I was waiting to hear you say " that's it I'M selling all my Blue Gill Gear! " LOL.
Bwahahaha
this video sums up 95% of my trips.
fast becoming my fav. channel if i aint cat fishing im thinking about it or watching it day dreaming about it thanks for sharing this is good stuff a lot of good info. determination to succeed is the best advice bar none
Remember a bad day of fishing is better than a great day at work.
TOW; time on the water. You gotta put in the time. I appreciate your tenacity. I admire your dedication. You got a good channel and a lot of potential with what you are doing here. Keep digging here too, just like you do on the banks chasing catfish.
Amen to that Dieter 10 hrs yesterday and at the end the bite took off. Drifting Skippy chunks 5 blues and 2 flatties.
This is so me when I am fishing…..especially with the dagblasted boaters😂😂😀

I never sweat the boat traffic. It makes the day better... not the boats but the sweating
Your so gentle with those little bluegill especially the ones that stick you. Bahahahaha
Lol. You are a kick. I’ve been watching your videos for a few weeks. I do watch till the end to see what you catch. Thank you! You are all that and a bunch of cookies. Would like you and I some day to fish to catch a bigun. Silly guy❤️
Darn stupid Gilligan
Dave your videos teach us how to be better fisherman. Thank you
Pretty sure this is the first video I seen of yours, thank you for the quality content for so long 😂
caught my biggest flathead in 3 feet or so of water dave!i went out to the nuecess river i was using the ol noodle float with a gizard shad head BOOM,we sat there for about a hour i was so proud biggest fish of my life it was easy 25lbs off a old walmart setup before i bought my sealines great vids man keep putting the time in we're here watching grinding it out to!
Those sealines are sweet reels man. Enjoyed the video!
This guy has a great sense of humor. Laughed all the way thru.
I sure am glad you starting spending more time chasing them Cougars! I forgot how grumpy you used to be when you were fishing too much!! :) :) :)
You caught a "Tree pounder" that nearly took you down !Hahahahaha Lmfknao
Hahahahhahahaa 😂
I watched this and several other of your videos today. I remember you saying that “if you keep trying you will eventually catch a big cat”. This weekend I have been determined to get into the 20lb and up club. At about 7:30 this evening I caught a 38lb blue cat. Video to come
I don't care how many times I watch this I still laugh. Even my dad laughs and he don't do that often
After 24:30 I can't contain my laughter ... I guess because I have been there on a boat and on the bank.
I really appreciate seeing a video with a reality check to it. And your singing is great, you ought to have a singing portion in every song. :-)
I could have untangled that line. . Take a breath dude! All that anger ain't good for the ole ticker.
Dave, you can be hilarious man. Sometimes your videos are better when you don't catch anything! Love you fishing style and you know catfishing buddy.
You should have hooked Gilligans boat, pulled him to land, thrown the dog on board let it poop on the deck. Then ask Gilligan " how you like that shit"?? Lol.
Great video dave. Your right it isnt all sunshine and happiness. I been putting in more hours then usual fishing and its been paying off. Ive caught more fish and a lot bigger fish consistently. Its all about finding out where the fish are and what they want and giving it to them. I have a mainly bluegill youtube channel but been bass fishing lately and caught my first catfish today. Thanks for the inspiration to continue making fishing videos.
Hang in there Dave! Hopefully that rain will quit and you can get out at night soon. Good Luck!
my wife and I love your channel Dave, thanks for sharing your knowledge and insight. I've been a mostly catfish fisherman for most of my life, and yeah sometimes it's tough going. dang ole boats, posted lands, crapping dogs, (which aren't there leash laws?? same here. ) people with little to no respect. makes me wanna violate probation and go roadhouse on some people. keep on keeping on brother!!

I don't catfish to be a hero I fish to eat . I don't own a boat so I'm bank fishing 100% of the time I know the frustration. But still in love with it . No matter how many times I get hung up .
Best way to learn is time on the water! Tight lines folks!
Great video and you're so right
Grandpaw always said pimpin ain't easy.
You know you are a cat fisherman when you spend a good portion, if not the majority of your time trying to catch bait so you can actually go catfishing.

You're singing my song Dave. I've gotten more skunks than glory days for sure! But the wait is worth it! Can't catch em if you ain't got lines in.
You hit the nail on the head ! ! There is no easy fish, you have to wait for the ones worth catching !
thats the southern west virginia dont mess with me attitude comin out! love the videos dave.
True absolutely true david nice vid and no not all days are glory days ive been skunked more then my fair share but its worth it in the end in my eyes cause its what i love and eventually the BIG ONE takes down your rod tip and the drag is going out so fast it wraps around itself on the spool the sweet sound of love!
Great video! Thankfully no poop on your boot!

After a few years, grandpa changed his name to "Bitter Daisy." And the family followed. 😂😂 I'm not sure why this fishing video reminded me of that. 🤔😉
You should smoke weed when you fish-to stay calm. lol
Lmfao
hey man nothing beats weed and fishin
Then you’d be up in smoke
Ole boy is wound up tight ain't he? Must be a Yankee transplant.
Great Reality video. Thanks Dave👍
You nailed it Dave! Cat fishing is Hard! Nothing good comes easy!! Let me get that weekend warrior gear cheap off of
fb marketplace lol!
This guy is so funny. He needs his own tv show.
I cant believe that after he talked about the dogs, one dog suddenly appears, he's a magician. He knows what he's talking about. Just dont follow he's attitude😀
Honest video... that's why I like watching dave!
Absolutely love the reality of fishing ❤ You real fishermen get it.
To keep the blue gill from swallowing the hook use a short shank with a small squeeze weight next to the hook. It works I was using the short shank with the pinch weight 6-8 inches up swallowing it. Found some long shank was thrilled it was even worse. Short shank.with squeeze weight next to it,give it a try. Weight doesn't seem to bother the perch don't seem to swallow it then.
This is the Jeff Foxworthy of catfishing videos!!!!!! Keep on keepin' on Dave! Nothing wrong with gettin' dink pecked every now and then. Tell Gilligan your in a no wake zone! Woooooooo!
Dave that kind of frustration will make your blood pressure go high. Take it easy.
I think the humor he used in this video went right over a lot of people’s heads. This was a satirical documentary on the frustrations associated with fishing. It was HUMOR folks! It’s OK to laugh.

Those limb bream can piss you off. Me too

Great video as always. Here's a game take a shot when ever he says it ain't all glory days and take a shot when he says dink pecked.
