It only takes one BIG fish

[@cawkeyedcatfishing]

Dave,I can't express how much I enjoy your videos. My Aunt and Uncle live just outside of Maynardville,my Uncle mainly fished Watts Bar. Sadly we lost him today,I will greatly miss his fishing stories. Watching your videos will help me relive his stories. Thank you Sir.

[@thomasallen3030]

I was just sitting here wondering if I heard that right🤣

[@leatherneck62]

[@michelleterry4289]

Ooooh! This was a fun one! 👏 Great fish! 🐟 I like how you explain things. Where you are, what you did and why. Super input! Thanks Dave! 👍☺️🌹

[@Mybeardog]

"This was a fishin video". One hell of a fishin video as usual Dave. Much love. God bless 🙏

[@memloss62]

Dave there are people who fish and people who catch fish. you are the real deal. Thanks for the video.

[@pianostudio3314]

After watching you fish, I realize now there are fishermen and then people that fish. Watching you, now I know why I don't catch much. I just fish. You are the master

[@chrisfultz1528]

Great video Dave and boy o what a beauty of a catfish. I working on setting my boat up for catfishing, can't wait to be able to get out there and try to find some. God bless and tight lines. 🎣🎣🎣

[@terryspence9326]

Great fish Dave…. Thanks for the video! It only takes 1 big fish!’ And it was a fishing video…. Heck yeah!!!

[@michaeliovine2462]

Another good catfish Dave clip lovem all good fish keep em coming

[@ztemde978]

“It only takes one big fish to make a trip” Amen brother, and that was a monster. It was like a minefield out there! Good luck in your travels sir and stay safe.

[@bobmcklv]

he looked 40#ish

[@pianostudio3314]

Dave love your videos. A great watch. Wish my grandfather was around to watch your videos. He fished for stripers in 60s and would have passed out over what you toss back as bycatch. Btw, he loved the vienna sausages on the boat and the can doubled as a urinal when necessary. Hope you keep catching the big ones. Sometime go try Kerr Lake in NC - beautiful lake, some big fish over there. BUT EITHER WAY, YOU ARE AWESOME

[@keithcarter4086]

That was a real golly whopper! I'm so glad to hear you have a scale on the way , it sure would have been nice today.There will be more I'm sure, and I'll be watching. I wanna see you boat a hundred pounder ,and I feel you will. Great video Catfish Dave , your'e the man!!

[@papatrt]

Glad to see you out enjoying yourself! Thanks, great memories, Mr. Dave!

[@paulmerritt7540]

Awesome video Dave, glad you tried that last break!

[@johnrickards1908]

Hi Dave, cracking fish man! One question, Do you have metal spools on your reels? I'm asking because I once lost the fish of a lifetime when a carbon spool imploded on me. I now use only alloy spools with level winds to keep a perfect pressure spread across the spools. No more implosions but, no more fish that big to test my theory either.

[@gsdziedzic2698]

You gotta love the head shakes of a big bluecat. Nice job realing it in dave. Hard to tell but it looked around 50lbs

Oh baby, a scale is on order! We all have scales in Michigan searching for that 53 Lb state record Flathead. A season ago an ice fisherman threw back a 55 Lb Flathead, without getting it registered.

I think they don't show up on sonar due to the lack of scales and the way they hug the bottom.

I live in Madison and fishing after a heavy rain the current is always strong because they open up the dams to clear up the overflow of the back rivers...just a little Alabama Tennessee River information...

What brand net is that

[@STEEZY3AM]

A little trick in high current. If you're spotlocked and running almost 10 trim up your outboard motor and watch that speed go down to 6.5 to 7. If you're running 10 to hold eventually you drift out of spotlock radius and spotlock will kick out ( sucks when you got poles out the back)
