SOMEONE SENT ME A BAD ROD!!! (Catfish Hunter)

[@dougzirkle5951]

I was waiting for Dave to see how well that rod wrapped around a knee, or see how well it floats in water.

[@buckreynolds7475]

Dave don't answer anything

[@fredziffel3443]

Hit that thumbs up, guys ! Dave WORKS HARD for the money !!!!

[@buckreynolds7475]

He don't do anything but bitch

[@jamesholt6032]

I enjoy Daves videos... Each and every one

[@davidrohder7897]

Thanks for the explanation of using Braid fishing line and the rods that you like to use . I fish around Paris Tennessee where the Big Sandy runs into the Tennessee River and I have l lost some very nice fish this year so far mostly next to the boat . I will be making changes that you talked about . Thanks Dave !!!

[@garymcmullin2292]

I recently found your channel, you are a master cat fisher. The bad thing I see in this video is that your raving success at fishing for years has given you a mind NOT prepared for "disappointments". You are a real treasure to watch, don't let things get to ya. Shrug off the bad stuff that happens, better days come again, you know that.

[@stevencox8771]

Glad to see that seat has continued to tear - now front to back. Looking forward to the day we get just a bunch of foam rubber showing. If a seat like that is going to rip so soon, it deserves to get to put on display regularly. Also can't imagine what it is like to catch enough fish to be able to do analysis on rod type/ line type/ presentation style. In my day it was pretty much, hey the bobber went down, we got one! Afraid we are going to have to put a PhD after the CD soon. You have turned catfishing into a science. Your show rocks!

[@anthonysmith3741]

Thanks Derek. That saves me a few bucks. I was just thinking about trying some other brand but I will just stick with what I have. Big cat fever. They are built like a tank. That's just my opinion .I have been fishing with them four years now without any problems.

[@stubby8663]

Enjoyed the video Dave, Thank you. But I'd of sent that rod to the bottom of the lake already lol. Have never watched you loose so many fish on One Rod on the same trip !

[@ikey4ya]

I enjoy your videos! No nonsense fishing! Catch them no matter how big they are back in the water fast! Not like these other guys taking a photo shoot! Good job! I may have to move to Tennessee my uncle lives there!

[@jonboatmorava9115]

You don't wanna come to Tennessee it's turning in to what we've all been running from

[@mattkelly381]

Another great video Mr. Dave👍 That looked like a state record flower pot😂

[@williamcornelison4721]

I was just waiting for Dave to take the reel off the BAD ROD and send the rod to the bottom of the RIVER.....

[@ritahaley8653]

I don't understand why pleasure boaters can't respect the fisherman hard at work. All they have to do is be respective, slow down and go on by. Love the cat sounds and the middle finger wave lmbo😂. Keep up the great work YOUR THE MAN CATFISH DAVE❤

[@JonR35]

If I'm on my yak when boaters slow down it creates way bigger wakes, I prefer them to stay on plain. Now the circle bs pisses me off, had that happen plenty

[@IEchuckie]

Buy your own lake and don't worry about it. Simple

[@jonboatmorava9115]

Because the folks with big boats buy big things so nobody cares about the little fishing guy. Remember in the United States the only thing that matters is money.

[@olhippie1]

Dave , on a rod like that I'd try a Gamagatsu octopus hook if that hook fails it's time to give that rod to Dieter Melhorn.

[@dominic9279]

No one is bagging him out, what are you talking about?

[@tonynoel2844]

LMAO Dave you sure are havin a funky kinda day reminds me of some of the 💩 I've been through while fishin. Better days ahead you are one hell of a great catfish fisherman.

[@jasondeansmith79]

Last year Dave’s rod wasn’t stiff enough and now his rods to stiff. I’m wondering what he took to enhance it.

[@jonboatmorava9115]

Blue cat chew.....

[@thewhiskyscout1238]

My god the percentages of hooking the flower part like that just amazing.

[@ricknielsen6]

Get some Dave!!!

[@tdeaux]

Funny looking catfish you got there, Dave.

[@stevehannah5712]

Hey Dave you should plant some catfish seeds in that pot and throw it back in the water 😂. love your videos.

[@Mybeardog]

Good morning catfish Dave. Tell your damn cat to watch his mouth. ! Love your channel 👍

[@stickmanbarr]

Dave, could you do a video on your equipment? I've always been a crappie and bass guy. Not sure what equipment to buy to try and catch the big cats. Love your videos!

[@raygillem4768]

Been catfishing all my life and these expensive rods are just that (expensive). The ugly stik has been catching giant cats long before these other rods was even a thought. Ugly stik big water medium heavy will catch any catfish and they're priced right. You can watch video of rods pulling trucks and dead lifting 150 lbs, but you aren't going to catch a cat as heavy as a truck nor dead lift a 150 lb cat.

[@bryanstaten5585]

Nice video Dave thanks for sharing

[@bryanstaten5585]

That's what the cougars say!

[@irahouchins1467]

I was fishing that same day a couple of miles up river from you and I had five line peeling hits and didn’t hook up on any of them, you weren’t the only one missing fish that day. I never lost a bait either, I was using white bass for bait. Not a great day for us both.

[@SollidRollerC10]

Stiff poles need lighter line so you get a little flex. Just set your drag low so it doesn't brake the line. Works for me,not good for getting caught on tree's though.

[@marcsmith1413]

I liked seeing this video because as a person who fishes a lot you have days when you don't catch a ton of fish or any fish at all I was disappointed that you went to a treble hook just to catch a fish besides a bass type fish but my main thing is that you didn't get skunked regardless of what rod is was caught on fishing don't always equate to catching the video is not the same but it's the life fishing you have good days and bad so there's nothing wrong with posting a bad day because we've seen plenty of the good days

You're right about that pole. And the reel has bad ju ju from being on it. Send them both to me and I'll take care of it.

[@frankribble4367]

In May, in Michigan we call it catching. At least I do.

[@88crabs7]

Dave I am sorry! I was fishing the Mississippi and fought a big un right to waters edge in that current and it was best fight! Only to have my hook come off and the big un swam off! Sad

[@davidfrueauff6933]

Everybody has bad days. Never seen a flower pot catch tho

[@robertmanyen9289]

Dave, I understand the human tendency to give fish what we call a thinking brain. But it cannot be in any fishes thought processes to know or somehow choose what rod to hit or leave alone. They have no rational thinking brain; they respond instinctively positively or negatively to feeding stimuli presented to them. The visual, rigging, depth or running placement dynamics of that center rod was somehow different then the 2 outer ones, and was more appealing in 1 or more ways than they were. The too stiff part can indeed play a pivotal role in landing them though.

[@speedmanxx]

Seriously??? Lol. Dave was being sarcastic dude........he was not trying to imply a fish made a real choice of what rod to bite.

[@matthewgray1990]

You did a great impression of myself in this video

[@tonyshort1623]

Meow,Meow lol that was a catfish funny❤❤❤it

[@chuckfinley3152]

So what’s your idea of a good boat rod Dave? 6-7ft, heavy with a medium action? Something with a big backbone and a sensitive tip?

Be careful. This is a family channel

🔥THE MAN CATFISH DAVE THE LEGEND🔥

[@paulwylie989]

After the 2nd fish lost, can't believe you threw it out again!

[@cflem6252]

Catfish Dave! 😁thats entertainment. Its not the rod. You need to adjust your technique to suit the rod OR dont use that rod. Seems like your other "good" rods, got no fish bites? Is that the better solution? 😅J-hook? Remember to set the hook with some ummmph. Maybe because its spawn they aren't as aggressive. Use smaller baits.... You are the catfish master but adjustments are necessary for all fisherman

[@Scottb92768]

But hey i still enjoy every video you put out and you do catch some really big ole blues i will say thank you for the videos and good luck rest of the season i am doing pretty good sofar

[@mevinson]

When at ease, eat some cheese ! When in doubt cast it out !

[@buckreynolds7475]

You need to go back to the bank fishing

[@catfishchucky3988]

That pos pole would land squarely on the bottom if it was mine. Burning it into oblivion sounds like a satisfying experience as well

[@kennethevans138]

I enjoy fishing even if I don't catch a thing. Being at water with a rod beats sitting home scratching your butt. I'd throw that rod overboard and go back to my Mad Katz.

[@benbogg5430]

I'll take the rod, send it my way. Will put to good use.

That one's not bad Dave. He's just streamlined for getting through that old thick water.

[@sugarsnap7883]

what aspect of this rod makes it ineffective ? Sorry if I missed the explanation.

He said it was to stiff that it didn't have bend and the fish can rip themselves free.
