Day Of Reckoning (I've been looking for this fish!)

60 pound Blue Catfish

[@terrybevis2872]

Don’t change a thing. You clearly have the right feel for fishing.

[@robertphillips9014]

He he's changing everything are you ready ?

[@marcuslarwa9098]

When I see those people on tiktok that throw out 8 plus rods that are all neon colored and glowing I think their complete idiots tbh. I don’t see the point in it at all other then trying to be flashy for views.

[@donemig1135]

@@marcuslarwa9098 maybe ...maybe that's jus them being them though . Who knows . Anyway there are alot of punks out there tryin to capsize ND loose all there gear with the tags and stickers on em half o em don't even know how tie there Dang shoe let alone a good ol rocking chair knot . Kinda guys you ask to get you a metal stretcher or if he's a real chump hey grab me a can of wind stop will you come on man. And when he goes ,,...can of wind stop with his hands out to the side shruggin his shoulders...see thats when you double down give em a hard look like come on dude are you gonna even try ? Lol if not this might not be the best fit for you huh? hours goes by ND you actually get some work done cus your not fabricating bull dodo bout green handled shingle stretchers wind stop and orange handled metal stretchers haha

[@jrporter50]

He definately knows his area and his fundamentals. The rest is personality lol.

[@brandonknight7240]

Hes alot slower to react when getting a bite like than id be

[@tw-el6nr]

I love how laid back and nonchalant you are when you get a bite, most people will jump out of their seat when they get a bite and grab the rod, but you just point at the rod and say, I think I have a bite when you know there is one on the line and take your time getting to it!! A true professional at catfishing with YEARS of experience!!! AND IT SHOWS!!! Keep up the great vids Dave and Thank You!!!

[@SammyGDude]

Ive gotta say, the smile you had at 10:26 is the embodiment of joy. im glad you had a nice day, brother.

[@outdoorsforachange]

Dave doesn't do an outro, he just shuts off the lights and assume you have somewhere else to go. I love it!

[@johnniemcwhorter4584]

Dave you the man ! Tell em what you think and don't change a thing ! Your the only one I watch for catfishin !! Love your videos !!!

[@pmatheny1115]

I have been over that spot many times just boating I always wondered what was down there. now I know. Nice fish thanks for the video.

[@thinkcivil1627]

The most fun part of your videos is watching you try to net one of those monsters with just one hand.

[@basstroller6979]

My experience is fishing in a boat with more then 2 rods you got 50percent more chance that fish will get tangled in the other line

[@lloydjames8027]

Catfish Dave You are the man. I have learned so much from you. Thank you for being a real dude.

[@j-ferrell144]

Dave u catch 60 pounders like they ain’t nothing !!!you have caught so many of those it’s crazy ! I got buddies that’s fished their asses off and got PBs of 40 and 50 pounds U are the cat fish legend, no question !

[@fishn365]

First off, Bless you..for that sneeze..lol Secondly, your no nonsense approach makes your videos both educational and enjoyable. Incredible Cat. Congrats!!

[@conrailfan6277]

WOOOOOOO!! A 60 pounder Dave!! Yeah I think you're doing just fine on 2 Rods, my only complaint Dave is being in Central Indiana where we're limited to Channel Cat!! LOL!! Yeah I can drive a couple hours to the Ohio River but as a full-time Trucker when I'm out of that truck driving anywhere sucks!!!

[@casualcarolinafishing5835]

Them little dinks were just keeping you interested until the big guy came along. And boy was it a beauty. Congrats!

[@chuckwdaniel]

I only use 2 catfish rods at a time, but I usually have a 3rd rod out for some bait. You do you Dave, great day of fishing.

[@The_Humble_Servant]

I use the exact same setup. 2 cats and one bait.

[@MikeCostelloOutdoors]

Awesome catch Dave. You deserve it. All the trouble you go through to put out great content regularly. Thank you.

[@rubenmorgan5456]

well said🙂

[@jimpalmer4916]

Yes he does. I'd rather watch him catch em anyway.

[@chadbrunett264]

Catfish Dave you do your thing and don't worry about what everybody else thinks you are the man

[@georgedavis9536]

I've watched you on utube for quite some time now. Before you had a boat even. I enjoy your content and don't care if you keep the fish or throw them back. You have a great sense of humor. Thank you for a entertaining and insightful view of fishing. I'm 65 years old and love fishing.

[@sgtmajtrapp3391]

I do believe what your doing has and is EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL. Dave there will always be arm chair quarterbacks who spend more time critiquing instead of listening and learning from the REAL EXPERT....Professor Catfish Dave. I have LEARNED MORE about catfishing by watching and listening to your entertaining and informative videos and I am certainly not alone. YOU help all fisherman to be BETTER at this endeavor.

[@terrymorris1687]

That’s why I like you Dave, you keep it simple and catch the heck out of good fish.

[@oakleydavid7619]

When I first saw one of your videos and thought that this is a man just likes to watch himself in video. I do apologize. I was wrong. You are definitely a seasoned fisherman. Thank you for the videos. I do appreciate. It

[@wadedeeds1738]

That fish seen you he either thought you was ugly, or, hungry. Lol.. Great Fish!!

[@666lindsey666]

that was a fish of a lifetime. good job dave

[@richardvernick4280]

Son. You enjoy fishing, that is great as you are not in a big hurry. You take your time and have some enjoyment fishing. Take care.

[@dogdiggingrj2089]

Glad to see you are one of the good guys letting these fish go for another day

[@eyeswideopen935]

Catfish Dave: in case nobody has told you this - you are a poet!

[@awfoutdoors6299]

Dave , when we older guys are gone, your legend will live on. Your a remarkable Catfish fisherman. Thanks again

[@aussfish9995]

Greetings from Australia Dave, never thought I would ever watch some body catching cat fish on KZbin, it’s not a thing in Australia but I really enjoy it 👊👊

[@davidwolf2478]

Good to see a 60 lbs catfish Dave. I was just watching someone else on a KZbin channel in a kayak and he was fishing with worms and was so excited when he got a big carp. I glad to watch your channel you are a real catfish fishing man.

[@edrobbins1146]

You only need two more rods in your boat and that’s my two rods. Keep up the great videos and I appreciate all the things I have learned from you. Some day you should come to my neck of the woods over on Lake of the Ozarks . You would certainly have a dock to use and a private boat ramp.

[@getonlygotonly]

do your thing man. nice boat setup with that big tiller motor. I want one of them giant stripers down by the dam.

[@thomasjarosz7406]

Dave, Look forward to the show. "lets go" God Bless

[@ifishcatfish]

i'm happy to see such a healthy 60 lb fish.

[@johnlaughlin6167]

What a monster fish! All I need is 2 rods!!👍👍

[@ricknielsen6]

One of your best videos. It shows why you’re the man!

[@agailframe6590]

You're doing great, Honey, I'm enjoying just watching and listening.

[@MybackHurtz1]

When Dave catches a big one we all get to be there !

[@levigeist9105]

I remember the whopper fish from a park bench. You don't NEED much. Do what you do. We appreciate your art.

[@josephfairclough1925]

More like "The Dave of Reckoning". Great Catch Dave!

[@markpreston6688]

Great fish Dave. As a northern fisherman I only use 2 rods and would love to catch the amount you do. We have channel cats here and so far i have only small catches of a few pounds only but keep trying. Love your videos and tips.

[@BigcountryReactions]

Ct here and your right only small channel cats. They love chunks of eels though

[@klownyou1]

Same

[@stevensmith2085]

We get channels up to 25 lbs at most here in NY. Great lakes on cut shad

[@raveousone]

while there are a few accept ions most states have laws against using more then 2 or 3 rods per fisherman i know of a couple that only allow one

[@regularguy3202]

Keep ‘em and eat em. Cook em in avacado oil. Goood!

[@jeffreyneely9283]

Great fishing trip , you're doing it right Dave, thanks for a great video.

[@Lj-md9ng]

I’m a new subscriber and I enjoyed this video. Very relaxing and not too much over the top things going on for entertainment purposes. Had me feeling like I was there on the water

[@daveoxford8938]

This old man used to fish a lot. Now enjoy watching you do it. Nice to have closed captioning.

[@sjfarish]

Great fish Dave and even better release.🐟🙂

[@JS-oy6nn]

I honestly don’t know how you can’t be a fan of what Dave does here.? My favorite is the humor then the fishing.

[@gregdorey3394]

Great work Dave. You just keep getting it done.

[@geoffhenson9913]

Other than the bigs… nice eaters. I went out this morning and caught several eaters. Catfish étouffée over grits for supper with hush puppies on the side… delicious…

[@kingadaroad6595]

Yeah Dave it's those EVIL OUTSIDE FORCES I worry about too, LOL! Ronster

[@robgrubb420]

Holy SHIT catfish Dave strikes again! what a mammoth monster! love to see it! AWESOME! 60+pounder WOOHOO!

[@IrishRebel88]

"Little bitty 'ole blue cat." I'd be happy as a UGA fan at a UGA/TCU game if I caught one that size.

[@regularguy3202]

You and that Haggins guy w his boy are the two I watch. Great job man. I love your style.

[@Chuckhall8088]

Your channel was the first KZbin subscription for me going on seven years now. Hard to believe, you haven't invited me fishing yet😁😉 seriously though you are the only catfish channel I look forward to watching. Keep being you Dave. You'll break that PB eventually 😉 I only know one person who has caught a hundred pound Catfish from the bank and that man is Catfish Dave✌️❤️

[@kennethjones8353]

Thanks big man, thank you sir. Lovin your vids brother, have been for a bit now. You seem, and sound just like myself in so many ways, like your battle with the Sun. I'm tellin ya man, I believe your a brother from another mother through and through,,, YES SIR!!!! I'd swear that was me carrying on about the boat swingin into the Sun, putting the Sun into the camera, that 1 in 4 chances thing. LOL! I know and understand the fight of odds. BELIEVE ME!! KEEP ON KEEPIN BROTHER DAVE

[@bentoncushing8693]

Mercy,,,Mr,Catfish,....that's huge

[@davidray3558]

Awesome trip Dave, thanks for sharing!

[@plumbsmart]

Really nice fish. You never disappoint, Dave. Keep doing what you're doing. All your videos are great.

[@8Scorpions]

I love what you do Dave, and for the guys that don't...watch another fishing video with 10-20 poles in the water. You have mastered what you do and there will always be that guy who "knows more"😂😂The fish actually spoke for you💯

[@raveousone]

ah the classic big fish technique... hold a young one hostage till big mama turns herself in

[@epiccatfish365]

Great video Dave-- "we've held this catfish hostage long enough" -- beautiful scenery and filmed well .. 👏👏👏

[@mr.rogers317]

That fish is absolutely beautiful Dave. Fine job sir🔥🎣

[@glassontherocks]

Now everyone with ten poles and a boat will be there for the next few years.

[@americanpariah1746]

Nice fish, Dave! Well earned. I've watched "those guys" who use multiple rods and have more tangles than anything else. Just keep doing what you're doing, Dave! 👍

[@tomburbridge1114]

Great job!! Family friendly and great instructions for the youngsters and older people alike. Ill bet your a mentor to a lot of kids worldwide. Keep up the good work.

[@wareaglepyroz71smitty93]

love the videos. been subbed to the channel for a couple of months and just incredible content.

[@michaelhubbard1711]

Great video!!! Miss the bluegrass... Big Fish !!!

[@andrewbrooks7142]

THANK YOU! I've always wondered about those guys... after all, if you're doin it right... are in the right area, you'll just end up with more that one on at a time, and you can't do anything with more than 1 or 2 rods at a time! so the others just run around tangling everything else & get off the hook

[@cyleyjacobus7995]

I've watched all your videos Catfish Dave... You are a true fisherman and a great one... Keep it up man

[@josephlugo8338]

Great fish! Absolutely love this channel 🤙🏼

[@stevencox8771]

I believe the hostage approach is best. Mr. 60 had to come aboard to free his baby brother. They all got scared when you started talking about using catfish for bait. Thanks for the great video and showing us how it is done. Great reward for all the work. If I caught a fish that big, it would just be by accident. Your consistency demonstrates you know how to get the big ones when it is dink time for most everyone else. That fish looked built for many more pounds in the future. Thanks for letting him go back to grow even bigger.

[@tex4668]

Great job Dave...beautiful fish, the wife and I love your videos.

[@codygriffey3072]

I love your videos I just started boat fishing this year in the Chickamaga and I have learned a lot from your videos

[@kennethlove4642]

Love watching your videos. Great fishing 🎣

[@robalan64]

Hey Dave, just started watching your video's. You sure know how to catch catfish! You are very entertaining to watch. Love it when you catch your baitfish while waiting for a catfish.

[@keithbanther3385]

Whooo...what a big'un! Great fish Dave...keep 'em coming & thanks for sharing

[@terryeverly5617]

Just saw your video. Nice to actually see someone fishing like I would fish

[@joedarneal5409]

Real good Fish Dave , A man can’t catch um if he don’t go, good job.

[@Montgomery491]

Awesome catch Dave. You're the man! That fish was plenty healthy.

[@etalon1956]

Good catch and beautiful fish 🐟

[@pawpawdabs6194]

Dave doesn't go fishing! He goes catching!

[@edrobbins1146]

You only need two more rods in your boat and that’s my two rods. Keep up the great videos and I appreciate all the things I have learned from you. Some day you should come to my neck of the woods over on Lake of the Ozarks . You would certainly have a dock to use and a private boat ramp.That’s a nice cat.

[@displacedbuckeye]

I have been subscribed for quite a while. Your videos are both entertaining and educational. Who cares about how many rods! I love the fact that your genuine, and I especially like the sarcastic flare. I agree that you shouldn't change a thing, and I look for your videos every day. Love your channel!

[@jeffrichars9254]

How about a little volume

[@kimm59]

Holy cow what a massive fish after you took that little one out for bait again it was a baby compared to that thing wonderful job your mellow personality is amazing

[@lutherprince9304]

Awesome fish!!! Great video Dave ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@douglasfields3942]

River Monster!!! 62lbs, that is awesome, Dave!!!

[@scottmccutcheon845]

Yup another amazing video love everything about you and this channel that’s a stud of a blue cat

[@vernt4583]

Great Jobbbb Dave keep on keeping on. You got this!!!!!

[@stubby8663]

Oh nice job Dave, them turning that gate on and giving you some current got a Big one on the move. Please don't change Dave, you fish the way YOU want to fish. Thank you for the video, enjoyed it as always.

[@rodneyjones2711]

Beautiful big Blue! FISH ON!

[@catfishreaper4922]

More rods waste more bait and only get a couple of fish. Indiana has a 3 rod limit and it hasn`t been a problem in 50 years chasing cats.

[@charleywalker2982]

That’s what I’m talking about!!! Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.

[@buddydeal7695]

Your opening statements made me hit the subscribe button! 😄👍🏻👴🏻💪🏻✌🏻

[@DSmith-iy3hm]

I only subscribe to two fishing channels, yours and another guy who fishes around the world. You have the skill, and the wisdom to catch enough fish with just one or two rods. Seems to me, the people who complain about you not having enough rods are overcompensating for their lack of skill and knowledge about the art of fishing. More is not always better.

[@agailframe6590]

Wow! Good show, Darling, fat fish are good eating, too.

[@beinawesome9117]

Relaxin with Catfish Dave. Aahhh! Carry On

[@copicat7325]

Yea keep it up love watching what your show been watching for a long time

[@michaelmoenning6366]

Thanks for all your videos I always look forward to the next one or an old one I haven't seen, I like to use two or three that is all I can take care of good

[@georgezink8256]

Well done! She's a beauty.

[@johncremeans969]

[@jimmylit]

jimmy, from Texas, your doing a grate, you put more fish in the boat . So keep it up, doing good .

[@gregbuehrer5955]

Good way to answer the 2 rod subject. Nice fish!
