[@randalladams2448]

[@thomasallen3030]

Thanks again for taking us fishing Dave. Looked like you enjoyed it I know I did!!

[@eyeswideopen935]

Catfish Dave was stoked in this video ;O

[@gregbaker2278]

I watched a video on another channel today, the fellers we talking a little trash on you Dave. However for all their big fancy boat, and all that, they didn't catch half the fish and not nearly as big as you do! Keep it up sir!!!

[@lext4374]

There is a catfish clique on youtube, and I pay them absolutely no nevermind. They can't cast 6 miles between all of them.

[@yepyepuhhuh]

​@Lex T 6 mile cast. You sir are an O.G. Catfish Dave don't need no boat.

[@stubby8663]

Good looking Fish there Dave, Thank you for the video. As always Good luck and Have FUN !

[@juniorraines1042]

[@stevehogan8829]

Nice long video today man, thank you. Good stuff

[@CastBlastCamp]

Nice catchin's Dave! Maybe ill see you out on the waters one day cheers and GOD bless!

[@williamburdon6993]

You caught more fish in one day than I caught in 73 years lol. I did catch about a 4 pound catfish in a quarry once, I thought it was a monster, for you it would be bait. Have fun buddy! It's fun for me just riding along with you.

[@Budreaux63]

Now you have planes in your video ! LOL Thanks Dave!😁

[@aussfish9995]

Holy moely anther great session 👊👊

[@jackkeeble9272]

Great job keep up the good fight!

[@jackkeeble9272]

Love your channel man , bringing back old memories!👍

[@jackkeeble9272]

You are the catfish champion!👍

[@outdoorswithjustin]

If anyone can catch fish it's you Dave good job buddy. I have a rod that i picked up that you should have roller eyes and huge penn reel.

[@daviddunhill3582]

Whoo ripped some drag. Love it man great videos.

[@flyingfisherman9076]

Yep, we're seeing the same thing here in SE Virginia, fish on the nests, and ocean-going yachts passing through from Florida to New England. I wish they would demonstrate the ocean-going capabilities of their ship by using the ocean. Our water is so shallow here on the ICW that dragging is the only option unless you're in the channel. With Gilligan running up and down the channel, it is not the place to be. Thanks for the video and tips.

[@piexayarangsy9304]

Catfish Dave I enjoy to watching you at work and sound wooing!!

[@CoreyParker256]

Good work Dave. I wish you wou have weighed a few more of them though but thats mainly bc I caught one similar size last night but couldn't weigh it bc I didnt have a net with me and its jaw was already messed up

[@davidcopperfield-DickensBook]

🐈 🦈 Dave got 'em again❗

[@jackieparks4035]

Holy Moly, you had it going on Dave...

[@thebossman1287]

[@danmcaleer9876]

[@tdeaux]

[@williamblocker-sf9sb]

Great job!

[@roybaggett8565]

[@thomasallen3030]

Those spring cats seem to have a whole lot of fight in them!

[@eyeswideopen935]

Catfish Dave - you are a breath of fresh air, brother! "Let go of me son, and I'l let you go" LOL! Love your casual yet careful release style - never hit the gunwales with a fish when you toss 'em! Dag blasted red boat...

[@gregdorey3394]

Too funny those cat sounds.

[@michaelbledsoe1060]

Geesh is that time already? Seems like the spawn was just finished. Thanks for taking us along.

[@RiverJunkie]

Good stuff Dave

[@jayrobertson232]

Darn near got seasick watching you catch that bigun!

[@jacobjames4760]

Dagblasted sail boats, in my video. Nice trip out Dave.

[@tonyjones9715]

Catfish Dave getting it done. Thanks for the videos.

[@stanwebb3480]

Dave, Should weighted the last fish to prove the point that you had beaten the last tournament, TWICE!!!!! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! TEHETEHEEEEE!!!!!

[@SLCOutdoors]

Hi Dave, one hell of a video today! Maybe an odd question, but what is the bean width of your boat? I am looking at a new boat and adding a similar set up, just curious.

[@bigbore4498]

I figure it’s about 196 beans wide.

[@SLCOutdoors]

@@bigbore4498 got to love spellcheck

[@bigbore4498]

@@SLCOutdoors I just make fun of it to make myself feel better about me doing the same thing. Predictive text gets me all the time. To answer your question though, I’d guess his beam is around 65”. Maybe 70. Dave looks pretty tall. I’d guess somewhere around 6’4”-6’6”. That’s what I base my guess off of. As far as boats go, it really depends on how much you want to spend. If I were to buy a new, or new to me boat, I’d search high and low for a SeaArk. They are the best made production boat on the market. Second choice would probably be an Express. Both boats have really good beams. The SeaArk will be more stable because of the hull design. Vexus makes a good aluminum boat but they have real issues turning at idle speed. I know it sounds strange but I work for MLF and we have guys that run them. They all complain about it. But it’s their only complaint. Another good option is Crestliner. When John Cox won the Forrest Wood Cup in 2016 on Wheeler lake, most of the footage was shot from my boat. I had to follow him for a ridiculous distance in the shallow backwater creeks. I was in a new Ranger 521C (my staff boat) and he was in a Crestliner. Let’s just say I’m glad I got a new boat every year. He was literally ramping logs and I had to follow him. Pucker factor 10. That Crestliner took everything he threw at it. To say I was impressed is an understatement. They also ride high in the water so they handle rough water quite well. They’re just slow. John topped out at 43mph.

[@travislyon]

Great question! I dont think he interacts with his subscribers though. I wish he did

[@robertdrugich8339]

I'd be eating the smaller ones..I love fried catfish!! Do enjoy catch and release with tarpon and bonefish etc. Those big blues remind me of nurse sharks, the barbells haha ?

[@NatesOutdoors]

Im going to ask a stupid question,what are planer boards or plainer boards, however it's spelled and what is the purpose of them? Ive tried all kinds of bait and not a catfish one, except cutbait,guess that's my next option, awesome fishing man

[@Shoot_and_Scoot]

Planer boards are for if you’re drifting or trolling bait they will attach to your line and pull away from the boat to a certain degree to prevent your lines from all eventually dragging directly behind you. Basically they keep your lines out to the side of your boats trail. Helps you to cover more water and keep your lines from tangling

[@lesr4105]

What size hook do you use with the large head and body chunks? Those are quite large

[@NyfLyf73]

Those Berkeley E Cat rods which action do you prefer or do they only come in one action? Great Video!!

[@jliketheletter637]

Luck u can run multiple rods. I live up in Manitoba canada we fish channel s a bunch but we are only allowed 1 rod. We use a lot of cut Goldeye shrimp, suckers and frogs. We are very fortunate that the mighty red river produces great channels. And actually great bullheads too

[@PETER-rj4he]

🔥THE MAN CATFISH DAVE THE LEGEND 🔥

[@nathansadventures72]

Your awesome

[@jeffchaffee1235]

Hey that was a great fishing video but where’s your music? dam it we miss it. How’s your back Dave? it looks like might hurt a little.

[@tammykifer5176]

Good looking fish I would be scared of all those waves knowing my luck it would sink

[@frankribbleRidingWaGrinder]

In Michigan, a lot of Walleye fisherman call Catfish(Flatheads & Channels) Sheepshead(drum), & white bass trash, farm animals or a nuisance.

[@thomasjarosz7406]

Dave, Lets Fish. God Bless

[@michaelthompson7570]

You described your arsenal ,,,but I missed what reels you use?

[@mikem201]

and what is the retrieve ratio of them reels, whole lot of crankin' to catch up to them things

[@Fish-RI]

Catfish Dave For President

[@toddmuehleip9250]

No way he is too valuable to us doing his present job.We are not wasting him on a job that anyone in the nursing home can do

[@Mybeardog]

I doubt you could get Dave in the same room with politician scum bags like we have now. Lol

[@jjjames6861]

Do you ever fish Tellico? Caught some nice flatheads there

[@MySORRELL]

I regret to inform that Berkeley no longer makes the E-Cat rod😢 Of all the rods to discontinue, it had to be the E-Cat. Great video as always, Mr. Dave👍

[@mikenew9263]

I have a e-cat4 and it is a stump puller. I am always on the look out for e-cats at yard sales,estate sales etc. Why do they quit makin the good stuff? Mike

[@larrynorthern3587]
