When Dave turns around with that shit eating grin and starts giggling like he just pushed his sister in the swimming pool, you know he just caught a tank...........
@bobbryant4292 I'm so mad that I don't even have catfish bigger than 30-40 in my river. I'm in Central Florida. All we have is channel cats in the St Johns river. There may be some blues, but they are not native. Can't complain too much since the saltwater action beats pretty much any other state what with the snook , tarpon etc
Isn't Catfish Dave amazing. I watch some of the other catfish guys, and they don't compare to Dave. Dave, you're the "Man" Great Video, love the Music... stay safe buddy...
What an absolutely beautiful animal. I always tell people why I fish is that I want to see the beautiful creatures up close and personal. Always respect them and always minimize hurting them. Thank you for being exactly like that Dave
You have trained us to grin every time we hear Reuben's Train. I know I do and it isn't just because I like listening to it. A big grin and a slime-covered belly. Life can be good, you know. Thank you, Dave. I'll see you next time.
Your the King of the catfish and Tennessee River basins. No one can compare to CATFISH DAVE. Thanks for your fine work and expertise really enjoy your video's
Absolutely a beautiful place you were fishing! Woo, what a ride watching you land that monster!! I hope your back will not give you to much trouble , Awsome, Awsome catch and retrieve!!
Man what a fish!! Nice going Dave. He definetly was a arm full. I see you got a new net. Good thing you got a big one. Enjoyed the video thanks for taking us.
Congratulations on a great video! You said a pig! Bro! That was the whole HOG! THE Winter bite is doing Catfish Dave right! From north Alabama ghenley35
Good Lord he was chunky and I absolutely love the way you were smiling as you reeled it in. I know that feeling when you know for sure you've got a big one.
I am enjoying your content,and your accent!.. I don't get to hear many Tennessee accents in Lincolnshire in the United Kingdom, and and i have only caught one Catfish in Thailand.. Real good fun,and excellent eating!..keep up the hard work.
What part of the Tennessee river is that, I grew up around the chicks Ava dam area. I have been gone from there since 1979. That in front of the boat looks pretty good to me and brings back memories. Reminds me of my old home in Hixson when I was a kid. Wow it’s been a while since I was there, I was nineteen when I left. You are catching fish a lot bigger than I ever caught. I was fishing off the bank, lots of fun in those days!!
Dave , while I commend your excitement & enjoyment of the Hunt , how often do you take a few of those sweet treats Home - & enjoy them ? I'm from South/Central Mississippi , & grew up on Fresh Fried Catfish & hush puppies ! Unfortunately , the number of Fish Camps ( throughout the South ) has dwindled , but their Memories Haven't .. T Y for bringing those back Happy Hunting !
Where abouts in Tennessee is this? I grew up fishing and skiing the lakes and rivers around Knoxville and Oak Ridge. Graduated from ORHS in '81. Great job on those two big cats!
this is the first video i seen of yours. brought back memories of fishing for catfish on lake barclay in ky with my grandad. amazing place, great video. ps we only caught pork rind size.
Hilarious to look at your gear, I only started fishing last year and with ultralight gear 😂 I love how I can catch trout to eat, or just tiny little dinky bluegills for fun. But as I learn more good spots, I'm already wanting to toss some bigger tackle out to see what I can catch. That was a hell of a fish!
Fishes like my uncle. He too would fan out multiple lines front & back of the boat by himself. I never knew how that man could control all that without making a tangled mess. But the man never came home empty handed. He was really gifted when it came to catching. He would have been awesome to compete with that talent. This was a real nice catch. Now Im getting hungry for some fried fish.
When Dave turns around with that shit eating grin and starts giggling like he just pushed his sister in the swimming pool, you know he just caught a tank...........
Good job tkx for sharing really do appreciate you.
I love it when he starts giggling 🤭 you know right away it’s a pig!!
You know when Dave says it's big....look out he doesn't say it on the 30-40 lbers

@@orpheus1180 yeah, let’s have four more years of war inflation in a corpse running in the country. Give me one good policy that Biden has.
What an absolutely beautiful animal. I always tell people why I fish is that I want to see the beautiful creatures up close and personal. Always respect them and always minimize hurting them. Thank you for being exactly like that Dave
Thanks for the video Dave! Just what I needed on a Sunday afternoon to bring a smile to my face here in Topeka, Ks. Keep on bringing the videos!
You have trained us to grin every time we hear Reuben's Train. I know I do and it isn't just because I like listening to it.
A big grin and a slime-covered belly. Life can be good, you know.

Your the King of the catfish and Tennessee River basins. No one can compare to CATFISH DAVE. Thanks for your fine work and expertise really enjoy your video's
Dave will hold a catfish record before it's all said and done.
I like how dave just throws the fish to release 😂
I don't. I did that once with a 50+ pound blue and found it belly up dead 3 hrs later
@@Doc_Holiday yeah it happens
Catfish are tough and can be out of water for hours maybe a different fish but not a tough catfish
@The40Glock1 I live in Mississippi and have been catching/eating/releasing catfish for over 50 years, thanks for the tips lol
Omg I died laughing. He yeeted that guy 😂
The legend cat fisher man Dave nice one ☝️ kallamazoo Michigan said that.

WOW!! What a fish!! 🎣 Always enjoy your videos, CD. Keep " bring'in " it!! 👍🏼
A face shield on a motorcycle helmet helps when running in rain or cold weather.
You look a lot like the armwrestling guy from Minnesota with huge hands. (Without the huge hands)
Thank you for sharing man love your channel ! Your friend from Maryville
Huge slabs hauled up from the deep muddy depths. Love the music too!
Also the blue grass music makes a real nice change from the usual rock/ dance trance stuff that usually plays behind fishing videos!
Couple of nice ones, Dave. Even the smalls weren't bad! Thanks for sharing, bro.
I see you upgraded your net just in time so there was no problem landing that pig. 😂 Fish on Mr Catfish Dave
Hey Dave, another one in a short time brother . Love it . :)
I like stepping away from a channel a few months and coming back to notice 20k new subs..Been here with Dave since pre 40ks
First time I watched you fishing Dave, and I’m glad I found you. Your vids are great fun. Thank you.
The most adrenalin in my life every time i wrestle one. It never gets old.
Really a rush.
Good Lord he was chunky and I absolutely love the way you were smiling as you reeled it in. I know that feeling when you know for sure you've got a big one.
GREAT VIDEO DAVE!!! Really enjoyed watching and sharing 👍🎣
Good fishing love watching your videos great cat fishing great stuff

Which rod and reel set up did you use for the second and third catches?
I am enjoying your content,and your accent!.. I don't get to hear many Tennessee accents in Lincolnshire in the United Kingdom, and and i have only caught one Catfish in Thailand..
Real good fun,and excellent eating!..keep up the hard work.
Love the videos Dave.
What a great fish.
Great day Dave!! Thanks for the fish and love the hoodie!
That’s a beautiful view towards the end. Rock wall to the right, mountains in the back and big ole catfish!
Hey Dave before spring fishing hits will you do a video on your guitar collection etc. Either way 👍
That really was a beauty. A huge thing. What is your PB Dave.?
Its so nice to see you smile and laugh! You seem much happier when yer fishing, compared to when yer dealing with the Haters! Congratulations Man!
Awesome man. I don't watch catfish videos often, but you sir definitely caught a PIG! Tight lines!
Congratulations Dave you deserve all the hard-working dedication
Beautiful sky on this video! Wow!
What are those things with rattles tued onto your line above your hook?
I know a guy we call Catman Dave but that's because he's one of the best Caterpillar diesel mechanics around. This is the
Catman Dave of catfish
Tennessee River and the Catfish Dave. We'll get together every time we can. Dave covers all the anglers.
Nice fish there Mr. Dave. Looks like fun.
I really like those orange poles Dave could you tell me where I might find those. Great video as always
What a day!! Wow, I’d never forget a day like that! Talk about making a guy want to go fishing! Thanks for the video and inspiration brother
👍👍👍👍👍great clear 🎣video Dave. I would have to eat pork rind size one . Be safe and don’t hurt your back. Those big ones are something else to see.
Wow, that has to be the biggest blue I have ever seen you catch, congratulations, you're the man Catfish Dave!!!!!!
PR might mean “pork rind” to you but your pork rinds would be PRs for me: “personal records!” That big one was majestic! What a monster!
Two monsters.....and the new net handled the very well. 😁
What river are you fishing? Impressive catches, buddy!!
I wish one of my kids could catch one like that
Are they good eating or just full of worms?
Awesome catfish!!! Love your videos catfish Dave!!!! Keep them coming!!! ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
8:22 that’s why we love fishing right there. Nice catch man
Both those catfish were huge with butterball stomachs. How big does it have to be before you'll put it on the scale? Great catches, Catfish Dave.
Dave where did you get your new net from?
What part of the Tennessee river is that, I grew up around the chicks Ava dam area. I have been gone from there since 1979. That in front of the boat looks pretty good to me and brings back memories. Reminds me of my old home in Hixson when I was a kid. Wow it’s been a while since I was there, I was nineteen when I left. You are catching fish a lot bigger than I ever caught. I was fishing off the bank, lots of fun in those days!!
That IS a big fish Dave! Look right above Dave's right shoulder and tell me if that looks like a door in that little cliff.
Dave , while I commend your excitement & enjoyment of the Hunt , how often do you take a few of those sweet treats Home - & enjoy them ? I'm from South/Central Mississippi , & grew up on Fresh Fried Catfish & hush puppies ! Unfortunately , the number of Fish Camps ( throughout the South ) has dwindled , but their Memories Haven't .. T Y for bringing those back Happy Hunting !
I sure was glad to see you didn't break your net... again
Beautiful scenery… nice fish👍👍👍
Hey Dave, good to see ya. last one was fish n' chips size. beautiful fish sir.
Dave sounds like he has COPD 😂😂! Great job buddy!
Where abouts in Tennessee is this? I grew up fishing and skiing the lakes and rivers around Knoxville and Oak Ridge. Graduated from ORHS in '81. Great job on those two big cats!
OUTSTANDING! Keep 'em coming!
What size reels are you using Dave🧐
this is the first video i seen of yours. brought back memories of fishing for catfish on lake barclay in ky with my grandad. amazing place, great video. ps we only caught pork rind size.
Great stuff, Dave! MONSTER cats! 👍
Hilarious to look at your gear, I only started fishing last year and with ultralight gear 😂 I love how I can catch trout to eat, or just tiny little dinky bluegills for fun. But as I learn more good spots, I'm already wanting to toss some bigger tackle out to see what I can catch. That was a hell of a fish!
Any suggestions Dave. I’m taking my grandson cat fishing on Weiss Lake next weekend.
What kind of rods are you using
Probably the best ever Catfisherman
I used to fish the Tn, by Shilo about 6 miles below Pickwick Dam
That was a big one Catfish Dave!! Way to go!!
Fishes like my uncle. He too would fan out multiple lines front & back of the boat by himself. I never knew how that man could control all that without making a tangled mess. But the man never came home empty handed. He was really gifted when it came to catching. He would have been awesome to compete with that talent. This was a real nice catch.

Nice sky. Such interesting clouds. I wonder how they got there.
Yes sir love to see those expressions too, that my friend to me is what it's all about.
Great job Dave, biggest catfish i've ever seem.
I believe the water level dropped a bit when you pulled him out. 🐷 🐷
Very nice to throw it back. Thats a real sportfisherman
MASSIVE CONGRATS CATFISH DAVE, SERIOUS FISH.
I love watching your show! Great Show!!!!
He’s a heck of a musician and singer also 👍
