[@MsJohnstuart]

[@jimparker7778]

Love that old timey instumental theme music today Dave! A mile of smiles!

[@nahnisjourney1406]

Hi, Catfish Dave, You make me want to get out and go fishing. Tennessee is my hometown, but I live in Georgia now since 1997. Thanks for sharing your fishing journey.

[@11yotaboy]

Thanks for helping keep us occupied while our daughters in the hospital! Was supposed to be up on nickajack this week til we wound up here…

[@chuckfinley3152]

I like to use largemouth bass, preferably in front of a guy on his 100000 bass boat lol

[@jerrythomas4457]

Oh man. You done getted that bass fisherman! You cat fishers guys are so damn smart!

[@trevorv5648]

Ah yes, the ole green carp is good bait. They’re the most overrated species in the world.

[@bigracer3867]

After one catfish’s all others just fade away! Bass was all I did till catfish. Now all I see from bass is bait!!!😂

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

Them flatheads in most river systems like largemouth and smallmouth bass, where legal that is, hmmm 🤔....

[@wbranches1]

😅😅😅

[@jasonflowers5842]

Those rolling hills in the background are absolutely beautiful with that water

[@motobator1895]

Luvin the uncle Jessi music & thanks fer werkin so hard fer us, we appreciate it!!!!!

[@jackkeeble9272]

I don't eat cheese and I catch fish 😂 Thank you for another great video Dave 👍enjoy watching your channel man!

[@tammykifer5176]

I didn't have time to fish had to much to do but watching your show helps try for next weekend. Fish looking good just like the background ☺️👍✌️

[@lynnward6982]

About the drift sock to keep the boat straight, I just use a cheap Lindy sock for that...a small one, it's just 36 inches but does the trick nicely and didn't cost much...works great on our 18 foot toon.

[@Leo-vf3py]

Great show keep up the good work be safe my friends God bless all

[@CRAPPIEfishin]

Been watching a couple years and don’t even catfish 😂 enjoy all the videos & info

[@outdoorsforachange]

I fish from a rigged up kayak and am always amazed at the room Dave has on his boat. One day I'll make the jump.

[@jackkeeble9272]

Hope to meet you one day, maybe on the water. God bless you

[@gloomiswd]

Hey Catfish Dave, I live around Gainesboro, TN on Cordell Hull part of the Cumberland River. We would love to see what comes out of there. I personally haven't had luck but I'm just learning the area. We anticipate every time you post a new video.

[@markybob_bassplaya1462]

Channel Cats mostly up there, but there are some occasional flatheads and blues.

[@daveward1935]

Some of the best fishing is when storms are rolling in. Fish hit when they normally would not AND the storms keep the part timer boat types who are askeered of weather to stay home = TYVM.

[@richardpayne4396]

Be sure when you buy a drift sock you get the right one for right side an left sock for left side.

[@jackkeeble9272]

Nice fish brother

[@DayBlueStars]

Thanks Dave for This Video Great I love Fishing TX.

[@benbogg5430]

Great video Dave! Keep em comin

[@beinawesome9117]

Catfish Dave is wise in the ways of floatation.

[@daleallen6282]

Another good video catfish Dave keep them coming

[@davidwalsh8058]

Two good times to go fishing.... when it's raining and when it ain't... old saying.. you all have probably heard that

[@charleywalker2982]

Keep at it Dave, your learning!!!

[@wesleyharden-nd8jf]

Unfortunately we can't use yellow or white bass in texas and we do not have any skipjack but we do have shad

[@dirtguy6537]

Enjoy your channel keep it up.

[@someguysomewheresouthern6290]

Here in Mississippi, I’m a lot like the catfish down here… I eat a bunch of white perch (aka Crappie). Caught a mess of them yesterday. Love your videos Dave!

[@outdoorsforachange]

Crappie is white perch?

[@IEchuckie]

Crappie is the other white meat

[@someguysomewheresouthern6290]

@@outdoorsforachange Yep

[@mikemayfield721]

Another damn fine video,Dave. Signing out.

[@fishnpray]

kegiatan memancing yang sangat menyenangkan. Untung hujannya segera berhenti

[@catlifeoutdoors6369]

At least your getting rain. Very dry here in Missouri. Rivers are low, ground is crazy dry. Enjoy

[@moondog9773]

Love the bluegrass

[@ellhafer2808]

Dave, you need a Bimini top to keep sun and rain off of you, the camera and the boat .

[@jeffchaffee1235]

Hello Dave, your really lucky that you can do what you do. Time on the water sure does pay off doesn’t it. Where are the Flatheads Is it time yet? I know you know where they are so how come we aren’t seeing you catch them, what’s up with that? Are you holding out on us? Thanks friend for your time on the water and these GREAT VIDEOS

[@geraldharrison7224]

Nice to see you catching cats instead of chasing trash!

[@frankribble4367]

I caught a new jet black PB FLATHEAD 28.55 last night in the Saginaw River. West side of state has big Flatheads as well. Fishing where my buddy caught a 46. I know you use heavy gear. I caught it on my #3 rod at the moment. A Shakespeare Tiger combo. But, I swear Michigan Flatheads fight harder per LB than any Catfish in the Tennessee River. Dave don't watch football. Take a road trip to Michigan. We will catch you live Bluegills. No Blues here. But, it's easier to catch big Channel Catfish here. Lots of good urban spots that have bridges & lots of hiding places. Fish from shore or your boat. It's as easy as: 1 live bluegill 2 night 3 good spot I don't know what the morning bite is like. I don't get up early either. Lol.

[@Xofroggy]

i usually use small live yellow, white, and striped bass, should i be cutting the fins off the live ones for a better bite? its hit or miss with them but i also only want the big fish, quality over quantity for me

[@markd2858]

Great video! I'm new to the SW and cat fishing. Going to Pickwick in a week or so, going to try stripper below the dam and catfish above. Would you anchor and fish on the bottom or do a troll like in this video? Thanks for any info and I'll watch some more of your videos to learn more.

[@MySORRELL]

THANKS!

[@jedediahsibley3355]

Awesome content brother! Got me hungry, some good looking sammichz you tossed back! Do you ever keep any? Can't remember any videos that you keep any in..

[@JeffinLowerAlabama]

Witch bait brings the Dang Blasted Rain the fastest? Good one Dave, Jeff in LA USA

[@nathansadventures72]

Love watching you

[@carolinacoins]

A local here in SC told me White Perch is delicious.

[@tedc7714]

I sat thru a summer storm one day. With bow against a high bank wind over top of me . cooler lid over my head because of big hail. I pulled in there because no trees. About 20 minutes and it was gone. I tell everyone if I live another 80 years I'll get cat fishin figured out.. And maybe women. ...

[@mikeharcharik2975]

The boat works best when the water is under the boat. Yup!!!

[@scottwhaley4585]

Yeah, it’s no secret. Lol.😂😂😂😂😂

[@royschlickeisen2539]

👍👍👍👍👍🎣great video

[@outdoorsforachange]

I have never even seen a white bass or skipjack or shad here in Michigan. I'm 53.

[@stankbaitfishing7914]

Used a yellow bass head just the other day. Got my PB spotted gar! haha

[@venturesyndicate]

Can't believe catfish Dave used a transition

[@robertdryburgh5719]

Dave when you coming to Santee Cooper again ?

[@canadianphil421]

Hey Dave I never owned a drift sock but did make my own you can use some rope and a bucket of even a big coffee tin

[@nickblankenbeckler7664]

Great video catfish Dave why don’t you try Skip Jack down at Santee

[@Pinkyjojo29]

Were i live in the south , we call crappie white perch.. we can't fish with them here because they are considered gamefish..

[@jeremywilliams144]

I don't know we're in the hell you live but I know for fact that people in the south do not call crappy white perch you got to be a damn Yankee

[@IEchuckie]

It's only illegal if you're caught

[@tobeymason5761]

Is that green thing below your planner board a float?

[@Davy-pj8mu]

Hey Dave it be funny if you fall in your ratings would go up lol😊😂

[@jefferybarton4628]

You teaching me

[@jasonflowers5842]

Good 🎵

[@brettdavis4707]

What about large mouth or crappie this time of year

[@catfishheroes8390]

Hi Dave!

[@jackiegrooms2557]

white perch and white bass are diffrent and white perch taste alot better also and get alot bigger than a yellow bass

[@countryfriedfishing]

I think water temperature plays a roll in bait type. I fish a lot of soft plastics and theres an obvious difference in summer lures and winter. I can fish the same type of bait but I have to change brands.I think the water temperature dictates how well the chemical scents or attractants disperse. Summer time I only use Strike Kings Coffee Scented plastics. Winter I have to use the oilier,traditional type plastics. And I believe its because in the hotter water that coffee scent is kicking but in cold water it just stays stuck to the plastic. So id surmise maybe in the really hot water some bait fish are gonna have a stronger attractant or oder. I would try a bait fish that is known for being parasite and bacteria free during the hottest temps. I mean,You never know until you throw.

[@StonedDead1981]

A bucket and some rope makes an effective drift sock on the cheap.

[@jeze3426]

Knoxville tn is the best place to catch big cats!

[@tonyjones9715]

👍👏👏

[@CowboyCarCrushing]

Alright!!... Catfish Dave has 90K

[@wesleyhathcoat1271]

[@dennisembry3161]

[@travisconnolly2609]

What net do you have?

[@donreed417]

Keep it up buddy. You'll get a mess of fish directly

[@raysgonefishing3271]

Any one know the type of boat dave has

[@rexnoel1419]

Dave,Have you ever used a penn 209 level wind reel to catch catfish.Are they hard to cast? I was gave some and wondered if it’s worth the time to clean the and try fishing with them??

[@mikenew9263]

Send them to me please. Thanks, Mike

[@beinawesome9117]

Bait doesn't matter when there is CHEEESE IN THE BOAT! Carry on

[@loydheckenlively5168]

Have you ever tried a chunk of cheese on your hook for catfish

[@geoffhenson9913]

Number one for me is gar meat… a pain to clean but worth it.

[@RiverJunkie]

Get a bimini to protect that camera!!

[@IEchuckie]

A mini bimi

[@jamesgilmore439]

Manning, SC by way of Santee, SC

[@byhisgracefishing]

Stick a piece of cheese on one of them hooks dave.

[@kevinvandevelde5169]

Storms?????? Our corn an soybeans up here are stressed reminds me of 1988. Haven't mowed in 7 weeks. My river here has turned into a prop eater. Ya got to slow down, I went from a 12ft hole right into 1ft in a second. Average depth is around 4ft or so. My fishing is hit an miss. This morning was a miss just small guys. Glad to see your catching fish.

[@johnraylangstonjohnraylang5924]

Not sure why you have not reply. I been a follower for over 3 years. Just wanted to show you this picture

[@IEchuckie]

I know a guy that caught small 10 inch strippers and cut them up for catfish bait. He's caught 4 flatheads.

[@glenpetet5365]
