So you wanna be a catfish hero

[@countryboyreviews]

I Haven't laughed this hard at a fishing vid EVER!!! Love this guy! Someone give him his own mainstream show

[@patriotcatfishersofamerica7985]

Dave you are so true about what you said. More catmen need to tell the truth about the ups and downs of catfishing.👍🇺🇸

[@DaddySafety]

youre saying what every real fisherman is thinking

[@kernlkajun1]

Dave, you are an entertaining Tennessee fishing trooper. Love the subtle catfish comedy and obvious love of fishing with a large dose of reality!

[@HOTexasCatfish]

When you're after big fish from the bank at least 8 times out of 10 trips you're going home empty handed lol. Great Vids Dave. Always enjoy them man keep it up.

[@strandedminnow2455]

I am so glad I come across your channel! I finally found someone who loves to fish but seemingly everything is dead set on making it not happen. The dog crapping in the shoe comment plus "im ought to start making bluegill videos" and the fact that everytime that damn boat come by the wave size gets bigger!!! LMAO!! I so feel your frustration, trust me, I know exactly how you feel! But hell, you brought a smile to my face so thanks for sharing how it really is! Subbed!

[@oldman8141]

My favorite video 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm so glad to hear somebody else bich about the same crap I do.

[@ifishcatfish]

I have a boat. It's tough. People think if u have a boat u get a 80 lb fish every trip. I get $40 in gas every trip.

[@floppykoala2646]

Damn you just opened my eyes

[@ozman6685]

Yup I feel your pain

[@brianbrewer3647]

No kidding. 2020 has been one of the worst years ever for me. Also the first year I had a boat. lol

Catfish Dave I really Enjoy watching your videos.I love the humor you put into them, you make me laugh, once I start watching your videos I’m up all night lol keep them coming. BigJohn country boy from Lexington Kentucky.

This video should be called The Angry Fisherman. Lol

[@kingrider75]

[@havinfun1911]

Great video man! A bluegill rod is a must when catfishing....lol...not only for bait but also to liven things up sometimes.

[@bradleycaughorn5469]

That's always my tactic!

Great video like always. Spoken like a true cat fisherman. I have sit and fished 2-3 days in a row and not even get a bite. But I still go and enjoy every minute. I just look at it as a challenge.

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

I watched this video when it first came out and since then I have watched it probably 10 times. And I will watch it again.. it has to be the best video on KZbin..👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@RockHounder-jn8hs]

fast becoming my fav. channel if i aint cat fishing im thinking about it or watching it day dreaming about it thanks for sharing this is good stuff a lot of good info. determination to succeed is the best advice bar none

[@halibuthooliganinc1058]

Man speak the truth it's a big in flux of newbie cat fisherman. You gotta put in the time and grind if you want the clicker to wine!!! I say the same thing people don't have any respect for fisherman anymore. Keep at it

[@jdotson41041]

I was waiting to hear you say " that's it I'M selling all my Blue Gill Gear! " LOL.

Remember a bad day of fishing is better than a great day at work.

[@DieterMelhorn]

TOW; time on the water. You gotta put in the time. I appreciate your tenacity. I admire your dedication. You got a good channel and a lot of potential with what you are doing here. Keep digging here too, just like you do on the banks chasing catfish.

[@survivingwith812catfishing]

Amen to that Dieter 10 hrs yesterday and at the end the bite took off. Drifting Skippy chunks 5 blues and 2 flatties.

[@ebioboanthonyodon153]

Hello CD, I just subscribed to your channel and I gotta tell you,you're hilarious. I watched some of your videos and it's amazing the fish you land sometimes but what gives me stitches laughing is your singing, swallowing bugs and not editing it out, pacing back and forth and most of all your dagblasted commentaries. I like it that you're so real, nothing flashy and you tell the truth about yourself, your fishing and sometimes failing. Keep it up, you're pure genuine.

[@michaeljohnston777]

I sure am glad you starting spending more time chasing them Cougars! I forgot how grumpy you used to be when you were fishing too much!! :) :) :)

[@les121476]

Here comes that dang dog from o'r there, he gonna come crap on my boat 🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@borfishing7690]

I watched this and several other of your videos today. I remember you saying that “if you keep trying you will eventually catch a big cat”. This weekend I have been determined to get into the 20lb and up club. At about 7:30 this evening I caught a 38lb blue cat. Video to come

[@RiverCertified]

Those sealines are sweet reels man. Enjoyed the video!

[@tterryshenanigans1820]

Pretty sure this is the first video I seen of yours, thank you for the quality content for so long 😂

[@bluegillbandit7385]

Great video dave. Your right it isnt all sunshine and happiness. I been putting in more hours then usual fishing and its been paying off. Ive caught more fish and a lot bigger fish consistently. Its all about finding out where the fish are and what they want and giving it to them. I have a mainly bluegill youtube channel but been bass fishing lately and caught my first catfish today. Thanks for the inspiration to continue making fishing videos.

[@PatAsbury]

You're not lying. Been bank fishing for cats since 14 years old. Have had boats take my line in their trolling motors and kids step on my rods. It's a tough enough game with the fish let alone dealing with the unknowns. Stay positive Big Cat! 🎣

[@georgeprice9882]

Your so gentle with those little bluegill especially the ones that stick you. Bahahahaha

[@debbiemiller6789]

Lol. You are a kick. I’ve been watching your videos for a few weeks. I do watch till the end to see what you catch. Thank you! You are all that and a bunch of cookies. Would like you and I some day to fish to catch a bigun. Silly guy❤️

[@debbiemiller6789]

Darn stupid Gilligan

[@neillsayers1489]

I really appreciate seeing a video with a reality check to it. And your singing is great, you ought to have a singing portion in every song. :-)

[@mindychaplin3306]

my wife and I love your channel Dave, thanks for sharing your knowledge and insight. I've been a mostly catfish fisherman for most of my life, and yeah sometimes it's tough going. dang ole boats, posted lands, crapping dogs, (which aren't there leash laws?? same here. ) people with little to no respect. makes me wanna violate probation and go roadhouse on some people. keep on keeping on brother!!

[@pitdawg6418]

You caught a "Tree pounder" that nearly took you down !Hahahahaha Lmfknao

[@steveoxendine7123]

Hahahahhahahaa 😂

[@snipe69r]

You're singing my song Dave. I've gotten more skunks than glory days for sure! But the wait is worth it! Can't catch em if you ain't got lines in.

[@GRDray]

You should have hooked Gilligans boat, pulled him to land, thrown the dog on board let it poop on the deck. Then ask Gilligan " how you like that shit"?? Lol.

[@stevenhowell4694]

I never sweat the boat traffic. It makes the day better... not the boats but the sweating

[@JayTurner-lg1wh]

This is so me when I am fishing…..especially with the dagblasted boaters😂😂😀

[@crash9820]

caught my biggest flathead in 3 feet or so of water dave!i went out to the nuecess river i was using the ol noodle float with a gizard shad head BOOM,we sat there for about a hour i was so proud biggest fish of my life it was easy 25lbs off a old walmart setup before i bought my sealines great vids man keep putting the time in we're here watching grinding it out to!

[@robbiewilmothjr7428]

I don't care how many times I watch this I still laugh. Even my dad laughs and he don't do that often

[@jcsuddeth5177]

thanks for the great videos-just getting back into fishing after a long time and you give us useful tips.

[@georgegarton8736]

This guy has a great sense of humor. Laughed all the way thru.

[@ammpanl]

Dave, you can be hilarious man. Sometimes your videos are better when you don't catch anything! Love you fishing style and you know catfishing buddy.

[@robertwatkins993]

After 24:30 I can't contain my laughter ... I guess because I have been there on a boat and on the bank.

[@100catfishing7]

Hang in there Dave! Hopefully that rain will quit and you can get out at night soon. Good Luck!

[@TyPigPatrol]

Very realistic video man, enjoyed it.

[@helensevigny4690]

I could have untangled that line. . Take a breath dude! All that anger ain't good for the ole ticker.

[@ChrisDavis-dt6xx]

Dave your videos teach us how to be better fisherman. Thank you

[@tippyoutdoors6677]

You know you are a cat fisherman when you spend a good portion, if not the majority of your time trying to catch bait so you can actually go catfishing. I know you are the real deal Catfish Dave because you are always after the bait. What’s really fun is when you are fishing for bait and you catch a catfish on your bait rod. One of the biggest cats I caught last summer was on a 1/4” piece of worm and a #12 mustad hook trying to get bluegill for bait. Ha ha.

[@rebekahlewis8596]

If i could like this video 100 times i would!!!! Dan corsicana tx

[@mauricecason5369]

Thanks Dave great video it for you share what it really take to but the work in to be successful

[@racingpigeon2024]

I had a cousin named David. Grandpa used to call him "Bitter Dave" cause he bitched all the time. So everyone in the family started calling David, "Bitter Dave." After a few years, grandpa changed his name to "Bitter Daisy." And the family followed. 😂😂 I'm not sure why this fishing video reminded me of that. 🤔😉

[@mcleaish]

You should smoke weed when you fish-to stay calm. lol

[@redpillmgtow9457]

Lmfao

hey man nothing beats weed and fishin

Then you’d be up in smoke

[@bradleycaughorn5469]

True absolutely true david nice vid and no not all days are glory days ive been skunked more then my fair share but its worth it in the end in my eyes cause its what i love and eventually the BIG ONE takes down your rod tip and the drag is going out so fast it wraps around itself on the spool the sweet sound of love!

[@crutialvelocity6030]

You nailed it Dave! Cat fishing is Hard! Nothing good comes easy!! Let me get that weekend warrior gear cheap off of fb marketplace lol!

[@razr199]

Love the videos catfish Dave. I truly understand what you say about putting in the time. I remember fishing a spillway where I live at and catching multiple 20 to 30 pound flatheads. I remember meeting a old man that fished there everyday that had not even caught a 10 pounder. Told him I’m sorry to hear that but he told me he hoped he never caught a big one. I asked why? He told me then he would only be happy catching big ones from there on. I thought to myself he made a good point because once you feel the drag come off your reel from a big flathead your hooked. Well I hope you get that state record this year bud. Fish on

[@Lunchboxx0864]

I don't catfish to be a hero I fish to eat . I don't own a boat so I'm bank fishing 100% of the time I know the frustration. But still in love with it . No matter how many times I get hung up .

Lmao Dave your arm is as long as you bluegill pole.. hot action!! Keep up the hard work

i think its a cancerous mole..its grew the last couple years

[@anappalachiansadventures8866]

Catfishing during the day can bring the devil out of ya. Lol, between the heat and the people I've been pushed into smashing my bobber off a tree and whooping the tree with my bait pole. I HATE summer! Love your videos though dave

Grandpaw always said pimpin ain't easy.

[@malcolmroberts2102]

You right on that i love just being out there catching them or not i love fishing you right on that if u just there to getvthe easy fish its not for you

[@allenmaner6616]

Dave that kind of frustration will make your blood pressure go high. Take it easy.

[@prevost8686]

I think the humor he used in this video went right over a lot of people’s heads. This was a satirical documentary on the frustrations associated with fishing. It was HUMOR folks! It’s OK to laugh.

[@MikesFishingHome]

Absolutely love the reality of fishing ❤ You real fishermen get it.

[@marktempleton346]

Damn I had to look twice to see if that was me in the video, cause it sure sounded like me! lol I never laughed that hard in awhile Dave thanks for making my day! You just have to quit fishing at those parks it would be less of a pain in the ass. Hahaha

[@hutrod7721]

Best way to learn is time on the water! Tight lines folks!

[@maces1405]

Rule number 1. You can't leave till you get one fish! That's why I always bring a micro pole. Bluegill count and you can kill some time waiting for the cat. 👍 Edit: "Its a catfish, this is a video, that makes this a fishing video"! LMFAO 🤣 logic👐

[@TheHillbillyHybrid]

This is the best catfishing channel on youtube

[@williamwesley5078]

I know alot of ppl say that its hard when there on the nest but ill catch more in the spawn season then i will all season, not only that on utube ppl fish during the spawn/nest time they hammer them to. When i got my catfish rods out ive always got me another pole catching Bass, Crappie, Gills, crawfish. Ill keep changing my bait up if i aint getting a bite with one bait....Be More Chipper Brotha and Good luck Next Time!

[@davidrose415]

Memorial day weekend here in Bowie Texas is near impossible to fish the local lake Amon G Carter reservoir. There are so many boats, jetskies, and drunks you can't catch any fish. For the same reasons it is dangerous to be there. Most any holiday weekend during spring and summer are a dangerous time to be at our lake.

[@JoseGonz72]

[@stephenhair5501]

Hope that dog didn't Crap on your Boot. LOL Wait till Dieter Melhorn sees this one!! Hahaha. Hang in there Dave!!

[@nf4349]

To keep the blue gill from swallowing the hook use a short shank with a small squeeze weight next to the hook. It works I was using the short shank with the pinch weight 6-8 inches up swallowing it. Found some long shank was thrilled it was even worse. Short shank.with squeeze weight next to it,give it a try. Weight doesn't seem to bother the perch don't seem to swallow it then.

[@FACB25]

The life of catfish fisherman is really rough

[@afield-fo2sf]

That foot action when you set the hook on that dink. Lol

[@stevehogan8829]

Aint gonna be no Stick gettin over on Catfish Dave.. Especially no BlueGill lovin sticks. Good on ya Dave. I pick bottles,, line and crap everytime I go out. Just don't understand it. Was out fishing last Saturday and got nuttin... Just the way it is sometime.
