Catfish Dave's legacy in the making. Legacy is the change you bring about in this world. How we made others feel, how we treated the people around us and how we made their lives better. "When you were born you were crying and everyone else was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone else is crying."

[@Last_Chance.]

Words of wisdom. Preach brother!

[@stevegloff2121]

Without Jesus in your life makes your life worth living no crying at the end of your time on earth. Two places you can go. You must decide.

Senior dave love the commit. I take kids fishing to give them memories when my health Allows. I'm from Coastal NC

Before I moved away I never fished Cherokee very much. My cousin used to work at a store where the owner had a house on the lake. My cousin stored his boat there and all he ever did is water ski. B-o-r-i-n-g. No gills or whiskers on a water ski. Then Catfish Dave shows up on Cherokee and a Big Blue wants its picture taken with him. You really think they don't know him? Dave, that is the biggest one I've seen you catch in a couple of weeks. Looked fat and healthy. One thing you've shown me about back home is the catfish all look healthy. Even in downtown Knoxville where I remember the water in the 60s was something you didn't want to fall in. Now it looks like a different river. I hop in the boat every time you go fishing. I can't help it. 👍‍🎣

Hi Dave . I'm a new subscriber only because I thought I was already subscribed. I am a Reel & Rod & Lure Collector. I have hundreds of Reel and Rods plus 1000 's of Vintage Lures. Anyway I am starting a project of fishing for big Cats with vintage Reels & Rods on Cherokee & Douglas and Norris lakes . Tks for giving me inspiration to start my little project. Love your videos , keep up the great work. I live in the Morristown area .

That’s a monster for sure Dave. Congrats!!!

[@nonameforprivacy3303]

Im from europe and its always funny to me when americans call their catfish "big". You should experience catching a mid sized wels catfish once!

[@jedclampett6466]

And you guys consider grass carp a game fish.

Hey Dave, could you explain some of your strange looking rigging ? How about also talking about the structure you look for a little more. Thanks, love to see you catch those big uns, like to catch a few myself.

[@davidnickle9831]

What a Tank ,,,,, Congratulations on that Fish Dave

[@aloberdorf4579]

No one more deserving....both you and the fish..much respect.

Did you say you were on Cherokee Lake? If so, WOW!! I didn't know Cherokee had big blues like that!!!!

[@PaulGriffin-ox1gp]

I like to get a few bait baskets out about 2-3 days before I'm going to go out on the lake for a full run after catfish and maybe strippers. You can get other fish at times the cats aren't biting.

[@chrisworthington1027]

You make me want to go fishing again. It’s been a while. Cant remember which comedian it was who said you know you’re lazy when you watch someone else fish cause you’re too lazy to fish. Lol

[@Pontoon_Catfishing]

😂😂😂 get out there and fish!! You won't regret it!!

Nice fish! I've wanted for a while, a fish to make me smile. I bet,.... oh hell, I must yield to Catfish Dave, THE catfish poet! LoL, I had to subscribe after watching and listening to that!

[@roepieroepie5333]

Wow, and great too put it back in de river. You are a real sport fisherman😊

[@billycockrell2470]

I'm not the expert by no means. From using traps back in the day we learned you have to put the throat down stream. Catfish prefer to swim upstream to feed. So, it makes sense to pull up stream so they can chase. Pulling downstream they are likely to just let the bait go by and not go after it. Just my 2c on what you said about pulling upstream.

[@FDXman65]

Good for you Dave. Nice fish

[@roygorman6624]

Bring along a blow up doll to talk to, that would be as interesting as your poetry!

Dang Dave, I don't care what kind of fish is on. IT IS NOT INTERRUPTING YOUR SAMWICH OR YOUR FISHING.

[@mattster-nw2xn]

That last feller was bigger than Manhunt McGee. If they get any larger, you might need battleship chain.

[@srf2112]

I learned early on that the best way to get the fish to bite is to turn your attention to eating something. They know, somehow they know.
