The Catfish That BROKE MY NET!

Big fish breaks my net

[@bruceroby951]

Never get sick of the music. Your the best.

[@ynotcougar]

Nice Fish Dave! I came for the Fishin, But stayed for the UFO.... After doin some reading up, Turns out 4 out of 5 aliens prefer Dave's fishing Video's compared to a Saturday Night cow Mutilation.......

[@Radnad50]

To prevent that from happening to your net, remove one of the end caps on either end of the handle and measure the I.D. (inside diameter). Go to your local Menards, Lowes, Home Depot etc. and purchase a wood dowel the proper diameter for your particular net. Cut to length of handle and insert, drill any appropriate holes as needed for slide mechanism. Replace end cap. You have now increased the strength of the net without sacrificing floatation.

[@IEchuckie]

We dun told him the last time this happened. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink

[@thomasallen3030]

I appreciate the fact you don't try to feel your videos with a bunch of pointless talk!

[@bigwalkchris]

You're new here I take it 😂😂

[@stevebeck57]

All the years I’ve been fishing that net problem never came up. But that was probably because I was using a tow truck to pick up bicycles.🤪😂👍🏼You’re the man Dave!

[@lelandshanks3590]

Well Dave, if u ain't tearing up stuff u ain't catfishin!

[@davidcopperfield-notthemag397]

Catfish Dave, you got grit! Early morning in the freezing fog? Well, you got 'em! Love your videos!

[@brucevonah511]

As expert a fisherman as you are... and you are.... that net bent on side of boat cause of downward pressure towards bottom of boat. Operator error. Love your vids CD!

[@peggyallen5465]

Nets can't keep up with Catfish Dave, they were not designed for all his great actions!!😉👍😁

[@benbogg5430]

Bent my net handle a few months ago, replaced it with thick wall 1.5" EMT conduit, comes 10 feet long you can cut to whatever length you want. Worked perfect, even the plastic handle off the old net shaft fit it perfectly. Much stronger than the thin aluminum net handle ever was.

[@packerjh2]

The handle is for netting the fish, not holding the weight! The net holds the weight. Maybe KZbin propper net usage, lol

[@bradleyhays7907]

I did the same thing except i used the fiberglass handle from an extendable paint roller. Took the inner part out and the net hoop screwed right on.

[@zacharybohannon5934]

You are the man brother. As one fishermen to another I appreciate what you do. I hope that you continue to make videos from here on out.

[@rexnoel1419]

I really like Mad Catz fishing rods, like the tips,they are easy to see at night,great rods,Thanks Dave for turning me on to these rods,Thank you!!🙏

[@jimparker7778]

Dandy cat, Dave! Best fishing videos on the entire interweb

[@mikem201]

I like your music Dave.

[@smokejumper7045]

Dave laugh out loud just a note, I got so sick of people encroaching on my fishing , I got on Ebay and found some people selling patches for shirts and bought some game and parks patches for the state I'm In. I sewed them on my shirt and jacket. Low and behold the fishermen see me and take off, its hilarious, if i go camping with my fifth wheel people will be gone next morning around me. It's great. I wonder what their doing that their afraid of game and parks people.

[@ReubenOaks84]

I wouldn't advertise on the internet that you are illegally impersonating an officer, you can be charged with a misdemeanor or even a felony for posing as such. Just a friendly suggestion

[@smokejumper7045]

@@ReubenOaks84 Reuben it's just a legally purchased patch sewn on a shirt, I dont tell anyone to do anything. Sometimes when its hot I throw the shirt with patch over the windshield all they have to see is the patch. I also have multiple insignias on my Bassboat, see people with NRA stickers in the windows of their pickups,. I have never been asked by game and parks why I have patches on a shirt. Tell ya what go on Ebay I will bet you can get patches to your local game and parks, are you saying u can buy them but cant display them ? You wont see me with lights on my truck chasing people around. Your right that would be dumb. But isn't it interesting, you display a shoulder patch and the guys willing to crowd your fishing spot disapear. Question is there an unwritten law as to boating harrassment? Or fishing etiquette? Or is it common sense? You shouldn't have to worry when you hook up that you have boats zoom in on you to flag out your hole.

[@IEchuckie]

Just because something is sold doesn't make it legal.

[@smokejumper7045]

@@IEchuckie wow all the illegal crap done, and sold, and used, ever drive down any hyway USA EChucie ? If the speeds 70 and you do that, every teen age 16 year old girl passes you doing 90, it's crazy where I live they bust people for DUI 's meth, pot, you name it and your the second guy worried about a guy buying an Ebay patch. What did I piss people off ? Do you guys encroach other fishermen .speed past their boats and wave wash them ? Encroach upon their fishing spot? Do you run from a game and larks guy while fishing !! ? ( OH BOB A GAME WARDEN LETS GET OUTTA HERE ! ) what the hell are you doing ? Illegal baits? To many poles ? Wrong hooks ? Over limit ? No frigging licences? What ? Oh let's hammer the guy that bought the patch. Tell ya what, next guy you see with a game and parks patch on his shirt go up to him and RIP that shit off from him. Then let us know how you have straightened us all out. In the mean time I do what I do and I'm left alone people act very nice around me on the lake. 🙂

[@Dsoul51]

​@IEchuckie This was so much fun. Probably 50 years ago, I used to fish at the mouth of the Rio Grande River. I had a cap with the emblem of the U. S. Border Patrol in the front. I used to like to talk to the people crossing the river. I would point at the emblem and then I tell them, la migra esta en la Playa. The immigration authorities are on the beach! Usually they would would turn back to try on a better day.

[@loydheckenlively9426]

You know how you keep your net from folded and half. When you buy it, Brad knew you take a heat gun. Heat up the rubber handle, find a wooden dial the length of the handle. That's a little smaller slight it down the handle. You're won't kick no more if it does king, it'll keep the net instead of the handle.

[@peterbraun-o4i]

that nets caught a lot of fish, wore the belly thin as convenience store biscuit foil, time to break out the bank roll and buy another!

[@virginian7317]

Just be careful Dave, especially after the South Crolina incident. There was a bass boat out there😔 Consider a strobe maybe.

[@kenpatton8761]

What they made fog horns for. Maybe Dave should consider taking the Coast Guard Boating Class. It covers fog/weather conditions and safety while on the water. Cheers

[@richardmassey2699]

Bigger the better Dave keep it up.🐟

[@JerryTolley420]

The sun in that camera sure looks like a UFO! I saw it in a more recent video as well, then watched this and it's there again.😂

[@basstroller6979]

That was a monster Dave.

[@williamblocker-sf9sb]

Monster rod holders makes a really good net

[@bobbynewton9247]

The Legend catfish Dave nice big Blue wat to go man!! Be safe brother. You need to wear your life Vest Dave when running big motor. Foggy out also! Stay warm

[@RickGoodson-j4t]

16:03 Love, your videos have never seen a bad one. Entertainment is great.

[@vernonostendorf419]

Every time you let out the Alpha HOWL, we lnow you caught ah nice one.... Keep up the good work ...

[@KarenProck]

Wow!! Great save though after the net broke!!! Love your videos!!😍😍

[@JimmyLee0757]

WOW... You have to love what you do. That looks like being on Lake Marion, or probably most any lake in deep fog. When I was a kid, fishing with my Dad, in the fog and Mr. Davis the man that owned Goat Island resort, way back then, would stand on the dock blasting a fog horn, so we could find our way back in. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences with those of us who sit comfortably in our recliners, watching.

[@roypeavy3542]

Nice catfish maybe a net with a solid handle 👍

[@twalters4812]

I turned on my porch light so no one hits us, Dave😮

[@LennisBranchJr]

Hey great content and have to say I had to rewind it twice laughing what you were saying after your net broke. Lol . Keep it up

[@KennyEdwards-j2u]

Keep up the great work. From Jasper Alabama

[@matfish1486]

I am a cheap son of a gun, I would open the broken handle ends and insert a single heavier pipe inside the ends and duck tape it back together. I am sure you thought of that already.

[@loydheckenlively9426]

In my entire life of catfish and I've never caught one that big to me. That's to you, it's just decent fish in Montana where I live. We don't have big fish like that. As far as I know in the milk river. I don't know about for pack Lake. I know that there's some big ones in the Missouri river that flows through our state. Good job

[@HomesickforAlaska]

You need to get Steve Douglas to hook you up with a Monster Rod Holder net. With all your subs seeing you boat those big fish in a Monster net it would be great advertising for them. And they are great nets.

[@tndiggerman239]

Hey man. Just wanted to say thanks for making great fishing videos!! My 3 year old grandson is all about fishing and we watch your videos together all the time. Also, thanks so much for keeping the language clean so he can watch too!!

[@amyhouseholder2059]

Is that a UFO in the background in the sky

[@basstroller6979]

Looks cold there Dave,kallamazoo Michigan said that 😅

[@illmatic826]

Battle Creek for me lol

[@shoalscatfishjonathan]

That was fun, wow, what a nice cat! Hate to see your net take battle wounds. 👍

[@royschlickeisen2539]

👍👍👍👍👍 great 🎣video some people said on other fishing videos that they took the grip off the handle and put a wooden dowel or part of a cheap mop or broom handle inside the hollow handle to stiffen it. But you may already know this Dave be waiting for your next video.

[@thomasallen3030]

It looked like the bite was pretty slow but as usual pulled some nice fish out of it. Thanks for the effort and the video!!

[@JeffinLowerAlabama]

Dang that was a big stump. 😊 Jeff in LA USA

[@jliketheletter637]

Nice job I put a wood dowl in the handle for that reason. Those big ones alone are a struggle

[@IEchuckie]

This is the second net I've seen Dave break. He's been told about using the side of the boat as a pivot point and multiple of things to put in the handle.

[@justtl5885]

Those damn bass fishermen caused that net handle to break 😂

[@lelandhopkins2433]

1st time I've seen net collapse...Another great catch.

[@Leo-vf3py]

Great show keep up the amazing work be safe my friends God bless all

[@staycalmandpapillon]

Great job Dave! Good save!

[@LandonSoles-w1z]

Looks like you have aliens in the sky for most of the video

[@pisgahwatershed7287]

Get you one them mad Katz nets !

[@doncrist2012]

Cut the end off of the new net and install a dowei or broom stick or even a handle for paint rollers.tape the end with a rubber cap

[@basstroller6979]

That net has seen a lot of weight Dave it’s been a great net.

[@smokejumper7045]

Dave I've never fished it but up in lake OAHE in South Dakota depths out in the channel on this stretch of the Missouri River go down over 200 feet I seen some water around 230 ft deep would cats hide down there ? What's your take. I have never been a fishing guru of deep water, but I notice you saying I'm out in the channel trying to find deep water alot. Show.

[@donsnider4389]

Couple videos back . I thought your net looked bent real bad. Like that mad katz rods ,but they are just so heavy

[@russellst.pierre6843]

Was that a UFO in the sky or camera lens reflection 🤔

[@loydheckenlively9426]

How many times a year do you replace your fishing net just curious.

[@IEchuckie]

I've seen him break 2

[@donaldplatfoot1203]

Looks like you are in need of a fiberglass handle net.

[@dbcooper692]

Sorry about your net, I know those giant nets aren't cheap!! Thanks for another one!!!

[@sgtmajtrapp3391]

Burrr Dave. Fog is wet and the cold on top of it. This is called DEDICATION.

[@rondoofnightmare775]

Awesome fish!!!! Wonder how much it weighed? I'd guess about 50+?

[@ryanharrod1155]

Hey Dave. Do flatheads go dormant there like they do up north? In northern Illinois we only got about 6 months to fish for them. Well really 4 months bc the bite is so slow spring and fall.

[@stevew6910]

I could have sworn I heard the Benny Hill theme playing in the background , Well now you have an attitude adjuster handle, But you do need a bigger net, Your going to catch some huge ones this year

[@henryschmidt636]

Catfish Are Cool channel catches bigger fish..... He's not afraid of fog or cold either.

[@davidjackson7051]

Dave that's a precursor to get a better net to land a giant 😂

Catfish Dave , life jacket & running lights , safety first . . . .

[@CATFISHCHRIS]

Hey Dave what's that hook sharpen tool you got where can I get one

[@curtshelp6170]

Great fish. I'd just replace that handle with a stronger tube.

[@3LLOut]

Nice fish that broke the net.

[@BobbyjMerritt-qz2mx]

l’ve been a catfish fisherman since l was a kid, and rule of thumb is, never go bye your self, take backup with you, especially if you go after 50 plus pounders, you’ll need help

He needs a light on the boat ur suppose to have one in them conditions but love the video

[@Tyler-sv4dd]

You are incredible

[@cecilpratt2925]

Good video Dave

[@catfishchucky3988]

On your next net take the plastic grip off and insert a wooden broom handle in it and cut it to length then replace the grip. If broom handle don't fit tight the get a larger wood rod. Never break a handle again

[@bluesdad54]

29° ¿ Doesn't sound like anything is very hot. That first one was a long time coming, but a great skunk buster. Second one was really nice. Sorry it cost you a net.

[@johnjelinek-g7b]

That guy was close to 40 . Looks like you're going to have to get a spendier net Dave . lol

[@angiehont5327]

I need to come and fish with you!!!

[@josephdunivan9432]

Too bad about your net thanks for the video

[@racingpigeon2024]

Born under a bad sign, been down since I begin to crawl, if it wasn't for a bent net, you know I wouldn't have no fish at all. 😟😐

[@thomascebula8199]

Gee Dave, that net is only a few months old !

[@Hopalong..75]

I enjoy watching you catch fish but you don't need to be out on the water under those conditions just to keep me entertained. Do a show from the kitchin table, drinking coffee, and tell us some good stories. Be safe.

Biologist are going to attempt to Eradicate the Blue Catfish in the James River, unbelievable.

[@charylstephens6875]

Never happen, numbers are huge, attempts to eradicate invasive species is rarely effective. Don't worry they are here to stay.

[@mikekroschel4411]

Still the best

[@tedc7714]

Flat heads have summer hole and winter hole. Winter hole is deepest. Range about half mile from the hole they are in. A university crew put radio on them and watched them move around.wish. i had some flathead in the freezer. Best eating of all of them.2 of us wrestled an 84 pound flathead up the bank. Mud and blood.. hehe.

[@slowbluez]

Is there not a net made that can withstand Catfish Dave?

[@PopPopJoe]

Might be able to get a replacement handle

[@OntheHook55]

Not a BeckmanNet? If not, better buy one..there’s none better

[@davefisher5196]

I had a 55pounder on went to net it n it went right through the net. Racoon had chewed a hole in it. That was fun

[@mrmilo1971]

That is the second catfish to break your net

[@paulsdogwalking]

just stick a wooden dowel down both ends and push it back together
