Catfish Dave Conquers North Carolina

[@loulattarulo6547]

Dam dave best video in years,,thumbs up for north Carolina

[@arthurmccorkle4331]

If you think NC is thumbs up...then you haven't been to Tennessee brother. I know I'm a born and raised NC'linian. Weather's better, fishin's better, people's attitude towards each other is better. What can I say to convince you to at least check it out for yourself. Have a great day my brother.

[@steves219]

I kept waiting for Dieter to show up with a cooler full of strawberry Jell-O chicken😆😆🤣 Great video Dave, keep them coming 👍

[@chuckstith838]

Dog to Dave. " Shut up you dagblasted fisherman"

[@themadcatter5849]

“Wheew, I don’t know where I’m at” boy I have had a lot of good and bad memories with that statement.

[@MC-gp9ke]

Another Outstanding fishing video from that Catfish Dave. Barking Dog, waffle house story and of course the one that got away! Thanks Catfish Dave for yet another great fishing video. Now he has a back up ..go to spot to get bigger blue catfish. Look forward to seeing another fishing video from N C

[@johngreen5837]

1st. Go get em dave. One day you're gonna yell at a dagblasted dog and someone's gonna yell... hey everyone. Catfish dave just told my dog to shut the hell up

I would love to see you in Virginia on John Kerr Reservoir “Buggs Island” home of the 143lb world record Blue. Many massive fish there all over the lake. Make sure you have your Navionics updated.

[@user-bn3zo3mh5v]

Virginia tax man would be charging Catfish Dave by the pound. VA taxes the piss out of EVERYTHING! SW VA is pretty, but would never want to live there. Have some family that used to live there and everyone moved away to get away from crazy taxes.

[@single94supra]

I rent a camper out on that lake, I have offered for Dave to stay there to fish Buggs.

[@jrporter50]

Lake Gaston too!

[@jefflance3648]

Barkin dogs,bad service, and ugly waitress, that doesn’t sound like a good trip!! At least you caught some fish, way to put in the time!! Keep bringing the vids!!

[@EASTSIDERIDER707]

3rd shift at The Waffle House. That video is planted in my mind.

[@fletcherreed3259]

That “slab” dig at Dieter had me cracking up. I think I saw you smile a little bit

[@freecards366]

The next time you come to North Carolina come to high rock lake we have some nice blue too

[@henrychinaski5223]

Fantastic! My grandson and I are headed out soon to catch, as he says, some big stinkin' blues!

You caught in a few hours more big fish than I've ever caught in my life..thanks!!

Nice blues Dave great road trip thanks for taking all of us with fish on from Illinois

[@earnielamb8356]

Sure thing the pee dee is full of cats glad to see you in my neck of the woods. Pretty impressive to show up and catch quality fish first time on the lake

[@3billm]

There were 5 different "dagblasteds" in this video, by my count, including dagblasted Rain, Dogs, Cars, Bass Boats and Channel Cats. Best video yet, thanks Dave!

[@ManiacRider3113]

Damn bud, you catch some BMF'ers that is for sure👍👍. Those are life time fish for most people.

[@deezbeetz81]

Dave! You are my dagblasted catfish hero! Love your videos Bud! God bless America and God bless Catfish Dave the catfish King!

[@jbj27406]

Welcome to North Carolina, Dave! Great video! You're sort of in my neck of the woods here. I spent quite a bit of time on Badin Lake and Lake Tillery in my younger days. As you know, the Yadkin/Pee Dee falls through and steps down through several lakes right through this part of the state. High Rock Lake flows into Tuckertown Reservoir, then Badin Lake, then on into Lake Tillery, where it thereafter becomes the Pee Dee instead of the Yadkin. I'm nowhere near the fisherman you are, but I've heard all my life that nothing beats the catfishing at Tuckertown Lake. I'd love to see you do a trip down to Tuckertown sometime. I'm located in Guilford County, and most of my lake time growing up was actually spent on what we always called Bugg's Island Lake, which is more properly known as John H. Kerr Reservoir. Most of that lake lies in Virginia, but both states honor fishing licenses from the other state. That really would be a long pull for you coming all the way from Eastern Tennessee, but they reportedly have some monster cats up there too. By the way, I LOVE Eastern Tennessee. And I HATE a barking dog.

[@darrellnichols6179]

You forgot Falls reservoir and Blewett Falls. Lol

[@mikebradley9408]

Awesome Dave , I watch you every night after work just love fishing 🎣.

The dogs love you Dave, they are just giving you a shout out ! !

If I could give a two 👍🏻s up I would. Great job Mr Dave.

[@ut000bs]

"That's a Dieter Melhorn-size fish." I fell over laughing. I watched my first Dieter Melhorn video just yesterday and every fish he caught was that size. That video was good and I liked it. lol Thanks, Dave. Nice catfish and girls in NC, you know.

[@howardbroome8867]

Thanks for fishing Tillery, NC. Enjoyed your video. I was there 2 days before. Thanks again for the video.

[@susandernick2515]

Dave, I just came across this video and man its awesome!!. Not only the quality of the catfish you caught but I noticed how relaxed you were. North Carolina is a good get away location for you.

[@ryanrichards6581]

Hey cat fish dave! Glad to see ya in n.c...speakin of heartbreak..i hooked up on the biggest catfish i ever hooked up on last sunday it pulled my anchored kiyak slap to the bank and wraped around a tree under water where i fought him for over an hour constantly pullin drag!...only to come unhooked😢....lake rhodehiss nc....the one that got away!...huge fan god bless and keep the videos coming. You are my hero!

Nice fish Dave!!! That one you had thought your thumb was bait!!

Great video. Really enjoyed it. Glad to you were able to get out of the rain. It's been bad here in NC too. Finally having a dry warm week this week.

[@gregnuttall3637]

That was fantastic. North Carolina produces some good fish. Good Fishing, Dave.

I have a dagblasted barking dog, great trip Dave enjoyed coming along, thank you, Jeff in LA USA

Thank you Dave

[@gifted_ruler644]

What Catfish Dave was in my state of North Carolina and I didn't know about it...?? Dave we got to go fishing man

[@greggc8088]

Great idea to travel for good weather. I've do that a couple of times each winter. And when sitting in the middle of a foggy lake and hearing a boat coming-Scream so they might hear you. Great video. Thanks Dave.

[@arthurmccorkle4331]

Having been born and raised in NC, it was nice to see you make this video. I will admit that there is a good reason that I am in Tennessee. I feel like you have experienced many of the same issues I having left there for. Drivers in NC are without a doubt hard to take.It seems like everybody wants to be in first place. Most of that muddy water comes from the red clay the area is famous for. Hate you missed that first big fish . Very possible it could have been one of those danged old fish with the stripes on it.. They are pretty plentiful in the area. Anyway Dave, I appreciate your videos and get your butt back up here to God's country. Carolina can't hold a candlelight to the Volunteer state. Looks like you did pretty fair though. Hope you had a good time. T'would be fun to go fishing with you, even if we had to put up with some of those dad-blasted dogs. Safe travels to you.

[@thereelangler3880]

Damn big Dave! You went to the Tar Heel State and boated the big ones. I’m fishing for cats because of you bud. Keep it up

[@georgehenley5880]

Congratulations! Wow you caught some nice Blues ! A couple of them was Tanks! Keep fishing Bro! From north Alabama ghenley35

Great Video Dave...Wanted to mention.. Tuckertown has some great flathead fishing as well

[@firecatfishing2770]

Dave: I really appreciate how much effort you put into this fishing trip. 👍 I'd love to see you and Dieter Melhorn fishing together. 😃

They're liable to kill each other before the trip was over. Lol

[@rchilsstandardpoodles8029]

That was well worth your long trip...Great video Dave!

Would have been awesome to see Dieter's boat appear out of the fog

[@ericfreedle3415]

This is my favorite fishing channel. And yes im from North Carolina. Dave you are the best cat fishing man i have ever seen in doing what you do. But i have to say I love the fish with stripes and I love to eat them and cat fish.

[@paultanner2007]

Hey Dave excellent video this is in my area where I live now, I’m originally from Texas I know it’s a haul away but if you have go to Texas lake Tawakoni or lake Whitney are great cat-fishing lakes.

[@shannonsanderson3823]

Dave, love your videos. Curious if you ever make videos that show how you rig your poles for both bank and boat fishing. If be interested in learning what works best for you. Keep up the great content!

This is my home lake and it’s so cool seeing you there! Mostly crappie fish it but occasionally catfish near the dam on the north end. The cat fishing in the river south of tillery can be amazing

You should have went 10 more minutes down the road to south point landing

[@stevanrose7439]

I was wondering when that was gonna happen and sure enough you catch one and try to net it between all of your rods and pull up half of them. But you did get er in the boat. Just had to laugh 😆. Keep on catching them Dave.

[@stevehogan8829]

Hey Hey, Dave. How come you're over that way.. Did you hear news or sumpin? Nice Channel cat. Man that fog would drive me crazy. Well it did clear up a little. Some good size fish. Not bad for a guy just passing through. Thanks Dave enjoyed it.

[@sandbag75]

You were in my neck of the woods on this one. I put my kayak in at that ramp all the time and have had pretty good success around all the bridges on that stretch.

[@soggy7142]

I live in outside Charlotte, I wondered why fish started biting around the last week in Feb.. bc the master was in town

[@countryboycatfishing2293]

Those were great fish especially never having fished there before

[@chrispokorney6801]

Always gotta love it when you drive that far and it all works out.

[@frankribble4367]

You may know a lot about Catfish, but If you haven't visited Michigan you don't know what bad roads are like. You would like fishing where most guys target Walleyes & could care less about catching a Monster Flathead. One good reason for me to move to Tennessee is because the roads are wonderful!

[@MasterUnSnagger]

I love it that you are targeting bridges Dave. I am trying to graduate from Channel Catfish. Got an urban Mi big river spot with 3 bridges in 2 miles in 25 ft of water, if I ever get there. Supposed to hold 40 Lb Flatheads. Got a new Catfish Rod for Father's Day. But, I am stuck with my GF at a dagblasted Campground. She won't even let me chase a Pike, Muskie, or Bass today. Maybe, I can sneak off & do some night fishing, above a tiny dam? Great bullhead spot. Never fished w Bullheads before. My fishing buddies wanted to fish the big river on Father's Day. She vetoed that. Argh!

[@hellaintabadplacetobe6300]

Gastonia, NC here. Lots of Bass fishing and Catfishing here. Small ponds are my favorite, Lake Wylie not so much. Wish we could fish together, that would be a Blast. I know some fantastic spots.

welcome to the Tillery!! Enjoyed the video and the commentary!!

[@wallacejones2743]

Salt Creek is a great BG tune for drivin. Good choice and first I heard it on your vids. You sure got a nice mess of Blue cats today. Size and numbers ! I think them dagblasted dogs bring you fish and you just dont know it. lol Thanks for takin me fishin Dave.

Should of held it six inches from the camera like Detour Mailhorn 'and said i weighed it several time's and the most i could come up with after careful observation was 57 and a half pound's.Oh yea' then say several time's'it's a beast'oh my'what a beast.
