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!!!

[@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 !!!

[@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.

[@fishn365]

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

[@terrymorris1687]

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

[@jeffreyneely9283]

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

[@davidray3558]

Awesome trip Dave, thanks for sharing!

[@lloydjames8027]

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

[@tex4668]

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

[@awfoutdoors6299]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@keithbanther3385]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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✌️❤️

[@plumbsmart]

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

[@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.

[@ricknielsen6]

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

[@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! 👍

[@gregdorey3394]

Great work Dave. You just keep getting it done.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@SammyGDude]

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

[@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.

[@cyleyjacobus7995]

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

[@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.

[@TheArby13]

It's your show. Do whatcha wanna do Dave. Keep up the great work entertaining us and teaching us.

[@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.

[@stevehannah5712]

Hey Dave, keep doing what you do.your the man.the legend.those people that are jealous should be watching golf.🎣🎣🎣👍😃😉☺️

[@dogdiggingrj2089]

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

[@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 🎣

[@epiccatfish365]

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

[@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💯

[@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

[@Jim-fo7hc]

Well congratulations to The Master Catfish Catcher. There is more to come, I would bet my bottom dollar on that, great catch Dave, 61lbs of fighting fury subdued and in the net'

[@Montgomery491]

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

[@mr.rogers317]

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

[@sjfarish]

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

[@vernt4583]

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

[@regularguy3202]

[@copicat7325]

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

[@getonlygotonly]

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

[@mikemcgill3998]

With that thumbnail.....I thought you were using the old boat anchor trick again! Haha! Then I remembered your post on Instagram, about a 60lb'r. NICE FISH!!!! Ohio River has been SLOOOOOOOOW for me lately. Hoping it picks up soon. Going to try and find some new places.

[@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

[@crash9820]

Hell yeah dave on the sealine too ive used mine since i found your channel for 3 years now ive had no issues with my sealines saltist yes other expensive reels will work but i feel like a daiwa is enough parts are cheap if needed too

[@ghostangler3313]

Perfect fish to end the video on keep up the great work sir 👏 👍 👌 🙌

[@josephlugo8338]

Great fish! Absolutely love this channel 🤙🏼

[@gregbuehrer5955]

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

[@lancefeightner3286]

Dave-o...... You are the man brother! Best to do it in the present tense!! Thanks man!!

[@scottmccutcheon845]

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

[@daveoxford8938]

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

[@MrFartbox77]

Hey, Dave. I've been watching several of your videos and I love the simplicity of your approach. Do you ever keep a fish to eat and what size do you prefer to eat? Keep reeling them in, bro.

[@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

[@etalon1956]

Good catch and beautiful fish 🐟

[@outdoorsforachange]

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

[@wareaglepyroz71smitty93]

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

[@larrywalker3137]

One very nice fish I really like watching you catch those big fish but even better I like catching them too

[@douglasfields3942]

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

[@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 !

[@thinkcivil1627]

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

[@rchilsstandardpoodles8029]

Fantastic video 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.

[@georgebaker1418]

Keep doing things your way,it's getting the job done,what part of Tennessee are you located,I have family in Tennessee,one day I'll be headed to the hills myself,some day soon if it be the Lords will,stay safe and may the Lord continue to bless you and your family.

[@ulfhednar3267]

Beautiful Blue!!!!

[@georgezink8256]

Awesome thanks buddy for sharing

[@wtipton]

Beautiful fish, nicely done sir.

[@geraldroberts4721]

[@danhillman4523]

Well done! She's a beauty.

[@rogue6118]

Wow Very Nice Dave. Gratz

[@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.

[@MrDredgedaddy]

Unreal my man, you make that stuff look easy! Helluva catch!

[@jallenw.67]

Keep doing what you're doing Dave!!

[@saltysailor1441]

Love your videos sir absolutely amazing the fish you catch. I wish I could come fish with you, I'm a navy veteran from Tennessee living in Washington state.

[@Smithfishing81]

Just keep fishing Dave! I like watching the videos.

[@terryeverly5617]

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

[@ceekin9172]

Reel nice setup . Love the music too

[@ClintsHobbiesDIY]

Great fish Dave. I never fish with more than two rods. I like to lay back and enjoy the outdoors.

[@levigeist9105]

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

[@hellaintabadplacetobe6300]

We love you Catfish Dave.! 🌹

[@steven-nb6rt]

Dave that's some nice scenery around you there.

[@y2kelly66]

Nice! Great job! 👍

[@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

[@stevebeck57]

I believe you could catch more fish with 1 Snoopy pole than most of us. I’ll just watch you and do what Dave wants to do. Hater’s will be haters.♥️👍🏼

[@MrDukstr]

Awesome fish Dave! Don’t change a thing!

[@666lindsey666]

that was a fish of a lifetime. good job dave

[@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

[@wesleyscott6182]

I think the most important thing is being where the fish are at and having the bait they will eat. The next important thing how to fish it. That’s where you shine Dave.
