I’m not going to lie. When I saw the thumbnail and title of the video I thought this just another Dieter Melhorn video. Lol.

[@duanet3218]

Our man Dave in the heat he did slave, just to try different baits that he did rate, Thanks Mr. Dave a good video you gave!

[@71160000]

Man I laughed all the way through the video. I'm so used to watching dave pull in thirty to forty pound fish It was suddenly like watching myself fishing. Here in my area, south east texas a box of two to three pound catfish is considered a good days catch. Over my nearly 70 years of fishing I've tried shad ( works fairly well in some lakes and not at all on others), blood bait ( after being in the water awhile attracts lots of small channel cats), live minnows ( catchs the occasional cat), liver ( chicken is too soft but beef liver is tougher although it should be fished on a small tremble hook), canadian night crawlers ( works very well much of the time), cut bait ( occasion fish), gizzards (fantastic trot line bait if you want a full line of snapping turtles, ask me how I know), my normal is shrimp(unshelled for salt water, always shelled for fresh, you're better off holding the rod rather than sitting it down as each strike will lose the bait, fresh is good but old orange and smelly shrimp works well too). I've never tried chicken but I have some marinating in the fridge with jello and garlic. Now all I need is a warm enough day to try it.

[@catfishheadhunters]

Fresh natural baits are hard to be beat. Buuuut when you can't get natural fresh baits store bought baits chicken breast, liver ect is a nice alternative. Don't always catch fish on them but I did catch my pb 40lb blue on chicken breast and anise on the KasKaskia River.

[@2strokin70]

So I'm fishing in a river that's got a decent current ..but chicken breast never seems to stay on a damn hook ..i know someone has a solution lol

[@catfishheadhunters]

@@2strokin70 what type of chicken breast are you using? Frozen, thin stew type breast? Bone in breast? I prefer the huge cheap kind thats really thick and just cut it into chunks. Frozen breast I seem to loose more of due to the freezing and unfreezing weakens the meat it seems like. Don't get me wrong Will still work but not as good as ones in clear packaged non frozen..also I use eagle claw sea circle hooks. 1/0 up 6/0 seems to hold up nicely on those style of hooks.

[@hippieonsome420]

I'm a little confused how couldn't you get natural bait... I'm assuming you live in the us sunfish/bluegill are overpopulated in a lot of places... I guess if you go to the water after 7pm when sunfish come down

[@wickedoutdooradventures6694]

Smashed the Thumbs up on this video ....Love your videos !!!! Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing, Captain Scott

[@firewoodhawk3917]

At least you are out showing us how the bait works, not in your basement just telling us

[@mikecannon6378]

little shot at Dieter?

[@landrover4757]

In south Texas, we used to bring shrimp and mullet back from our saltwater trips with us for catfishing in the rivers and lakes. The shrimp caught the numbers but the cut mullet caught the better sizes. I am in Tennessee now, and came here smack dag in the middle of the spawn.

[@ztemde978]

Love the jazzy tunes, witty commentary, and the fishing. Thanks for sharing. I wish I could have half that luck with any bait.

[@youdontknowme2200]

Hey Dave get a piece of sewing thread and wrap around your chicken liver to hold it on your hook. It works great. BTW i love your vids

[@firewoodhawk3917]

Love your show, nice video please bring back banjo and fiddle!

[@lannydecamp7460]

Dave, marinate the chicken in strawberry jello or garlic powder.

[@fishtexas9780]

I do both at the same time.

[@southufheavenbp]

Everyone has an opinion and mine is this man can catch the catfish, and them fish with the strips, hell he catches skip Jack 2 at a time. Keep the vids coming Dave

[@paulrichmond8392]

To keep the liver on I took old electric cord stripped it and use a strand about 6" long. Put one end through eye of hook twist it and wrap it around liver. Works great

[@brandonwoodcock4374]

Lot of people use panty hose as well

You know when we where younger and used chicken livers we put then in pantyhose and you could get it off the hook and every once in a while we could dip it back in the juice. Great content brother thanks.

[@doingitwithdylan8851]

That shrimp was quick 🤣

[@danieldeneau7802]

I have used shrimp with cherry koolaid w/garlic salt to help it stay on the hook the last 4 yrs with good results for the smaller eating size but live bait will catch the bigger guys 👈

Catfish Dave gets it done with what ever bait he has!! Catfish Dave can catch fish on a bare hook.

[@jeremystournamentcats6566]

You are a bucket list cat fisherman to fish with bro .

[@StonedDead1981]

Best way I've found to keep liver on a hook is pantyhose. Liver is cheap and effective. Dollar store pantyhose works wonders. Wrap it up good and pass the hook through so it hangs off and the hook goes through both ends of your wrap, catching some meat. Or use a treble, pantyhose helps there too. Caught a white bass, a yellow bass, and a largemouth one night on it while catfishing. Got a haul of eater channels too. Almost anything will eat it, which can be a problem sometimes, especially with turtles. It's hard to beat for the price unless you get your bait for free. Good luck out there.

Fresh chicken guts is great for channel cats. I do agree, flatheads lean more toward natural baits that in their domain.

I’ve messed with them store baught baits when I was younger also!! With all the mess they tend to have they are just not worth messing with for me!! I use all stuff that the kitties have access to every day!! It works and it’s their normal diet also!! That’s my go to bait & if they are in the area I’m fishing at least 9 out of 10 times they will chew and I say the one that didn’t bite well he was already full!!! Awesome video Dave keep up all the hard work buddy!!

[@nmangling]

Catfish Dave! Pretty cool story about New Mexico! Next time I fish the Rio Grande I'm gonna try some shrimp just for you! 😁

Beef liver works for me here. We've just hot channels and bullheads. I marinate it in sardine oil left over after I eat sardines. A company called Thundermist Lures now sells Catch a Cat bait sacks to keep bait on your hook. They look like a red tea bag with a draw string, come in various sizes.

I’ve caught a 15lb blue on a piece of chicken gizzard that was just 6’ from a live bluegill but that was certainly the exception and not the rule. I’ve not had that much luck on it so I’ve quite trying it.

[@tsr_outdoors]

I know you threw them out , but I love chicken livers for water size fish but under a bobber Seem to miss less fish when I fish them that way But you are right, they don’t stay on hooks well if the rod is just sitting in a rod holder I like your content , appreciate your video bud Keep it up

[@davewatson3398]

Grocery store bait used in algorithm fishing by Catfish Dave. Another Tier 1 fishing performance by my man 👍 Plus, new fish catching music that’s showing a new, hip vibe for my Gilligan hat wearing dude.

[@stillwater62]

So far, you have caught some really nice eating size cats. I would consider today, to be a success, if you were fishing to eat. I believe you would have a lot better luck fishing the grocery store baits at night, when the big Cats come out to feed. That is the way it has always been in the dead of Summer, catfishing at night gets the big ones. When the Queen Mary, and her tender boat came by, I was expecting a " Barge Bite " to happen, but didn`t. Great video as always. Would have liked to hear more Dobro music in the background, maybe some Jerry Douglas, if you wouldn`t mind.

[@timothyrose7581]

For me chicken liver has been my channel catfishin go to. I don't fish with shark hooks tho. Mostly 2.0 eagle claw j hook. If I'm somewhere with blue cats or fh I'm fishing blue gill heads or whole gills. Chicken tiddies & night crawlers are a solid option too. Thanks for doing the shrimp & gizzard test .I get asked about those too & don't really have any experience with either

[@kennymccall3252]

Finally another video didnt have time to watxh it yesterday worked all day and was tyered starting my day qith a catfish video today

[@robertspray2717]

Back in the day we used a square of old pantyhose around the chicken liver secured with a rubber band.

[@johnturner6597]

Used those, and medical mesh sleeve. On its own it 1 hit an rebait

[@reedrozier4120]

I used to work in a kitchen and we tried hairnets around the livers.....and we caught some, but they didn't seem to like it as good.

[@conrailfan6277]

I've had not much luck with chicken gizzard or liver here in Indiana, unless you count all of the turtles that hit it!! This video is a nice change of pace Dave!!! Can you try some cut hotdogs soaked in garlic powder to test them??? You are the MAN Catfish Dave!!!!

[@cap10joe2000]

Hey Dave, if your local laws allow, try using a small blue or channel (pound or less) for large flathead bait. Snip the fins before putting it out as bait. Thanks buddy, I enjoy your channel.

[@ericbest9562]

Guys around here use bull heads when they have them, they say big flats can't stand then, that they will hit them even if they aren't feeding

[@rchilsstandardpoodles8029]

I always figured we humans were the only ones dumb enough to eat gizzards. Never seen so much as a turtle bite one. Other than that chicken is chicken, fat & oils are the same, be it breast, wings, drumsticks or thighs.

[@CapeBass508]

Thighs have way more oil and fat, thats why they cook and taste better than breasts. I would think they would be better bait.

[@unbalancedredneck5778]

Many times when I’m in shallow back creeks I’ll use liver on a 2/0 hook. Even if I don’t catch anything on it it keeps turtles away from my other baits.

[@rosslehman3329]

Jammin the grocery store tunes too

[@keithdocreed]

Hey dave, try putting them liver and soft bait in a new mantle for Colman lantern. Run the hook right through it but hard to get off hook.

[@geraldbaxter321]

All I like to see us when you post another video Dave

[@mobarrett8596]

Put liver on the hook. Wrap elastic thread around the liver and hook. Keeps the liver on the hook. Been doin this many years.

[@madtownangler]

I use shrimp as my second choice after cut up gills. The bonus is that I can catch carp too. With the music playing while your fishing its like watching an old episode of Sesame Street.

[@Phish4sho]

Catfish Dave throwing down some catfish funk 🎸

[@jeremyr7147]

I caught a PB 38" walleye on chicken liver in current summer time. I've used it for years and get it to stay on in river current with just a hook. You just have to pick a solid piece cut it to good size and hook it through like 6 times, threading it onto the hook.

[@PenDragonsPig]

I watch an old guy from the UK who uses rainbow trout for sea fishing with great success. Trout, steelhead, and salmon are quiet oily. Also if you can get it, mackerel.

[@michaelbates9083]

Hey Catfish Dave, Just an idea for the chicken liver. I use an egg loop knot. I've increased my hookups by using it.

[@weedeater64]

I'm nowhere near the fisherman you are, but in my experience chicken liver will get hit, but then it is gone. You can put it in some cheese cloth or nylons, but that is a pain in the ass. I've liked cheese/dip/stink baits, but I use more shad now. Last year was the first time I tried to get some skipjack, and failed. I've caught a few over the last couple of days but at this rate it'll be pretty hard to stay in bait. In the spring here I can load up on shad for the year at the lake spillway. Then there are always bream live/cut bait or whatever else will bite a small hook. We have some shiners but I haven't been able to catch them in numbers. Might try chumming them some soon. Working on improving my skipjack game. I'm limited somewhat by only having a small canoe. Never caught any from shore around here, though I should be able to at the big dam on Ar. river. I don't know why but I've never done much good with anything there unless I get in a boat and go out the wall between the gates and lock. Thanks for all the tips Dave. FYI, gizzards are too good to eat to waste as bait. Shrimp are too good and too expensive.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Funky baits, funky music.

[@virginiamckay2814]

Hey Dave you need to be in Nashville TN. I'm a musician and I do believe you could write a song or three I can just tell would love to pick with ya some day I'm lead guitarist and I also am a fisherman from south west Louisiana myself and Trevor is my name I use my wife's account. Anyway you can play and fish I'm loving it. I never comment but I have to tell ya I been watching for a long while good luck buddy I hope you go full time on you tube friend.

[@soggy7142]

Use chicken liver with treble hook and swivel. Remove Treble from swivel and put Shank through liver resting on treble points. Then clip back onto swivel. 😁👌

[@kevinvandevelde5169]

For Liver I use Tubular elastic stretch net size 2 . I works good and makes them work for it. Nylon stocking I here works also. Never tried it.

[@stevanrose7439]

When I was younger us kids would put some anise in our chicken livers. So just yesterday I bought a new bottle of anise and I’m gonna try it again I think it will work with any kind of bait.

[@dirtyharry5419]

Little trick for chicken liver....cut out a square of panty hose, wrap it around some liver and tie the corners together. The juices are still able to get through the panty hose and it won't fall off the hook that easily

[@part_tymer]

I'd like to see Dave do a video on artificial baits like stink baits and dough baits I always thought they were useless but I gave them a shot and caught some nice channels on the Colorado River. Cmon dave!! Let's see that!
