Catfish Dave's legacy in the making. Legacy is the change you bring about in this world. How we made others feel, how we treated the people around us and how we made their lives better. "When you were born you were crying and everyone else was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone else is crying."

[@Last_Chance.]

Words of wisdom. Preach brother!

[@stevegloff2121]

Without Jesus in your life makes your life worth living no crying at the end of your time on earth. Two places you can go. You must decide.

[@user-js6dt9lb7o]

Senior dave love the commit. I take kids fishing to give them memories when my health Allows. I'm from Coastal NC

[@douglascasey3486]

Amen!

[@nonameforprivacy3303]

Im from europe and its always funny to me when americans call their catfish "big". You should experience catching a mid sized wels catfish once!

[@ut000bs]

Before I moved away I never fished Cherokee very much. My cousin used to work at a store where the owner had a house on the lake. My cousin stored his boat there and all he ever did is water ski. B-o-r-i-n-g. No gills or whiskers on a water ski. Then Catfish Dave shows up on Cherokee and a Big Blue wants its picture taken with him. You really think they don't know him? Dave, that is the biggest one I've seen you catch in a couple of weeks. Looked fat and healthy. One thing you've shown me about back home is the catfish all look healthy. Even in downtown Knoxville where I remember the water in the 60s was something you didn't want to fall in. Now it looks like a different river. I hop in the boat every time you go fishing. I can't help it. 👍‍🎣

[@jeffreyhooper5941]

The CatMaster at work, like gravy on potatoes, it really doesn't get much better watching a seasoned professional like Dave , patiently, skillfully pushing on and executing his delivery with precision with the 60 pound behemoth at the end of the day.
