The HUGE Takedown: I Never Seen

[@jamesleslie7007]

Dave thank-you for Bank Fishing! I don't have a boat and the kayaks sold in this area are just too small for me. I am so glad to see you on the bank and running campers off the bank is inspiring.

[@joejones2582]

James Leslie if you do won’t a kayak the 10’ ones at Walmart say 250lb limit but a buddy of mine has one and I weigh 280 and it floats just as good with me in it as it does him and he weighs 200 had the price isn’t bad

[@joebostic1783]

Good information Dave thanks love your catfishing video's! I got 16 foot flat bottom boat I inherited when grandfather passed been trying get fixed but not had the funds lol

[@PhantomRooster1]

I love your videos Dave. I'm less than halfway into this one and you've already got me itching.

[@Forevertrue]

Looks delicious Dave! Great video. Thanks for putting him back, he is probably 50 to 70 years old.

[@OleBadDog]

Where's Deeieeter Melhorn when you Need him he'd kept them Skeeters away.Another great video Dave I really enjoy being able to fish vicariously through you and your Catfish Excursions.Keep up the Good Work .Smallies,Walleye and Stripers are my fish of choice but you have inspired me to give Catfishing a serious go so Thank You for the information and the Inspiration.

[@michaelerway5243]

You need to get a thermacell, they work great for keeping the mosquitoes away. I keep two of em in the truck at all times. Congrats on another great fish.

[@michaelerway5243]

@Suckerfish Biggs 😂😂😂

[@wendystroup6054]

Dave this one is my fav love the straight up person no shows keep it up. Bryan and Wendy can’t wait to get back down their!!!!!!

[@stevehogan8829]

Whew, that's a nice Catfish..Holy Crap... that's a beauty... it is a blue or a channel. I can't tell the difference yet. Orig from KY. Thought I was catching Channel Cats but truth is I don't know. Caught cats from the OHIO River and also Dale Hollow Lake. Didn't catch that many cats, just a few. Thanks Dave that was a great fish... it's officially a catfiishing video.

[@TheReloaderDude]

This is the reality of fishing. Usually when this happens at my home lake the turtles turn on. And the mosquitoes never turn off

[@danieldeneau7802]

Hate it when that happens.

[@davidcopperfield-notthemag397]

There is a lot of knowledge, wisdom and experience goes into being a good fisherman. That's you Dave!

[@JB-be7yr]

Maybe a long sleeve shirt with some DEET on it. Love your videos !!

[@rodneyk8838]

Awesome fish. Cool background in that video man.Old West Nile Watts Barr Skeeters..

[@brotherbrian5625]

Bluecat is the best mosquito repellant! Congratulations great fish!

[@oakleydavid7619]

vintage audiophile it took a second or two but I see what your saying for sure. maybe not a repellant but a neverminder for sure

[@danieldeneau7802]

@@oakleydavid7619 Mosquito's don't like wind makes for a miserable night & crummy fishing.

[@dementus420]

Lmao. That was funny.

[@jeromyallen1696]

Nice fish, great video. Thanks for sharing

[@leafywatson249]

Bossman He hit it hard but you was walking away so you didn't see it thanks for the video

[@jackrickman6414]

Great catch &release. Enjoyed watching the video

[@jackkeeble9272]

Nice video Dave thanks for sharing man

[@gregyazel170]

Very nice fish Dave!!! You earned that one! Try a Thermo cell for the skeeters! I don't go anywhere without one. They work!!!!!!

[@flipmode9236]

Great video. Thanks for keeping it reel. Most people dont show the slow time just waiting and waiting fighting them skeeters.

[@kenblevins3372]

My favorite thing is catfishing AND watching catfish Dave. Absolutely love your videos. My personal best is a 46 lb blue and a 45 lb flathead. PLEASE NEVER STOP bank fishing never stop your video's

[@landonhaynes2556]

7:25 scared the shit out of me low key with that edit

[@ChattCats]

Good fish! That was an awesome takedown!

[@Medcruise1]

Great video Dave. How's the fishing below the dam during the winter months? Is it crowded on the bank?

[@OfficerLarryNMSE]

I saw that too, a pair of Nuclear Reactors, on the other side of the lake...lol Good Luck catching those Neon Green Cat's...🐠☢🤯☢🎏

[@wendystroup6054]

Coming to Harriman last week of September . Where should fish at watts bar or fort Loudon.we have 7 days this time

[@mikekoch1966]

[@havinfun1911]

My nephew and I missed you by a day. We sat in the rain the day before about 25 yrds closer to the dam. We caught 2 nothing to brag about though. Nice catch!

[@kennymurray9534]

Nice blue cat Dave thanks for the video

[@smallblockfuelie]

Looks like Dave went to the barber and had his ears lowered

[@KoolKatsFishing]

DAVE DAVE DAVE!!! LMAO I feel your pain!! The misquotes eat you alive down here in the Chattanooga area. I have to use spray. Off seams to work best. If you ever want to meet up or want someone to go out fishing with hit me up. I'm available 24/7 I live down in the Chattanooga area.

[@seventhirteen3073]

Thanks for the video. Badass fish Dave. 💯💪🎣

[@catfishruinedtrophycatfish7998]

Good vid I love that size they are fun! Yes fresh bait is a must

[@richardreed919]

Dave come fish Pickwick dam on Pickwick lake with me and we'll catch some monsters .we have some very big cats .lots of them .the fishing is the same as u do in East TN .no difference.good places to stay and eat and a heck of a place to catch monster cats .

[@POPPAsmurf-ic9vk]

When i was there the sweat bees where bad. An the eagles on the nest on the power tower behind u got a little annoying from screeching all day.

[@davidcopperfield-notthemag397]

I like it when the fish slaps his tail real hard when you let him go...he's telling you off! Spunky fish! 🐋

[@chrisquinn4036]

Awesome.....that is a great video...thanks again...from Alabama

[@dankbuds.7398]

GREAT VIDEO!! REALLY ENJOYED SEEING THAT FISH, THANKYOU!

[@countrylivin9963]

Wow what a head on a blue.. nice healthy fish i bet he was pushing closer to 50 lbs. Pretty sure a few of them skeeters were hatched from a Terodactyle. One in particular when you brushed off your shirt..

[@countrylivin9963]

Terodactyle at 8.06

[@martymeshek8500]

That is what I thought...Easy 50#'s NOT 40.... I am assuming Catfish Dave is approx 6' tall. Nice Big Blue!

[@johnny7047]

Dave, if you carry a tape measure- Girth x Girth x Length, divided x 800 will equal very close to the fishes weight. : )

[@alabamasmoker2673]

I'm watching all your videos Dave. Love em all. Gonna have to meet up with ya and let's go fishing , catfishing.im from Alabama.

[@droberts8051]

Love the videos dave! Nothing like late night catfishing. Just missing the brewes.

[@keithisfishing]

Catch and Release is a sign of a Great fisherman

[@carll.freemanjr.9867]

Catch and release is for bass, where I'm from you fish to eat so if it's big enough you keep what you catch.

[@turtleog1]

My fishing honey and our 2 yr old watches you religiously you need way more videos 🤗 U are loved

[@biggmike2703]

Nice fish Dave. Careful on those rocks

[@rickyaderholt4119]

Awesome blue cat! Thanks dave for the video

[@alexshearer275]

Great fish for a summer blue

[@jamesgarrett4531]

What type of rod and reel setup are you using

[@Legallyblindoutdoors]

Nice fish you were down close to my neck of the woods

[@waxer12g87]

Nice Blue Dave! He took off like a flathead cause he probably heisted that chunk from a flathead & was eating on the run.... He had to get away.

[@ryancafin7892]

It's always when your not looking or doin something else they hit..great catch

[@doug42780]

All was do it's funny

[@brianevans8523]

Dave the next time the mosquitos try to interfere with one of the greatest catfish catching guy I know we will have get a aluminium bucket of some kind and burn paper or something for mosquitoes did not like smoke! This will work Dave!👍

[@100catfishing7]

Heck yeah! Nice one Dave! I'd be willing to bet he was closer to 50 than he was to 40.

[@1ofhis518]

With what's in the background I expected you to pull up a three headed fish with one warped fin. Nuclear fishing at its best hahaha!! Nice fish but don't drink the milk iykwim!

[@terryjones5798]

Or a catfish with arms and legs

[@charleswinters9721]

you keep it real and tell it like it is

[@johnpadilla480]

Do you catch and release all of your catfish? great video quality and commentary detail. Refreshing!

[@ifishcatfish]

Mosquitoes are not attracted to light but heat and carbon dioxide. Lamps dont distract them. Need something with DEET.

[@jameslaw3740]

Just don't spray it on your skin. Put it on your hat or your clothes , never on your skin. Your skin will absorb, while the scent will linger longer on the clothing, same as deodorants put them on your clothes not on the skin

[@bubbacrabb]

I know it may sound crazy but an old farmer told me once to get a cheap vanilla scented car air freshener and the skeeters will leave you alone. I tried and it works out for me. I just get the cheapest ones.

[@mikeposio1206]

Nice cat. Good damn thing it didnt decide to flop when you was putting it back, coulda got tore up on the big ass rocks.

[@debragarcia72]

Thank you for putting it back!!

[@gamehog2696]

get yourself a thermacell. great catch. keep it up.

[@cumberlandrivercatfishingw3371]

[@Mblaster47]

Hey that's my flip-flop, thanks for finding it.

[@RaceGun75]

Nice fish Dave.

[@ut000bs]

Fun fact: Mozzies (That's Aussie for mosquitos.) are attracted to the carbon dioxide in your exhaled breath. No joke. Dave, that fish busted 40 all to heck. That was a 45-pounder.

[@brandonhenry1376]

Good fish for summer! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Visitor2020]

Bout time you got your ears lowered lol did you keep that flip flop you never know you might find the other one!! Great video Dave!!!

Nice video. Your getting better

[@pwrplnt1975]

I've worked at that power plant in the background! I'm up in Maine and the skeeters and black flies will make things EXTREMELY MISERABLE!!

[@billbriscoe9414]

Those Nuke Fish grow big! Lol

[@hikenmikes8262]

[@catfishdave8192]

some 12volt led work lights I bought online at northern tool

[@PhantomRooster1]

Nice catch Dave.

[@Juan321C]

Walked those rocks and gave that cat a proper sendoff. Much respect!

[@lookinforthebig1904]

Nice catch I cant find anything close to the size here in ohio unless u go to a paylake and that ain't for me...probly would have caught more with a demon dragon tho...hahaha

[@cultofbunny]
