[@allslimedup5177]

When the going gets tough, Catfish Dave gets the fish going. Great to see ya back.

[@ProFuison-wellness]

Besides the broken back from unloading that motor, good to see your back Dave, hell yeah.

[@timsnedeker3961]

Always happy for another video And I'm not even mad. But I'm going to say it. Damn it Dave you could have given us a bank video while your boat was down.

[@ronaldcoward9576]

Glad to see you back.

[@K-dodds]

[@thomasjarosz7406]

Welcome Back Dave We ALL missed You. God Bless

[@pdm1289]

Welcome back to the water & the KZbin world. I am making this at the beginning of your video and I look forward to watching a Catfish Dave adventure! Good luck 🍀!!!

[@voiceforthevoicelesstruth5480]

Welcome back! Just got my Johnson back up and running Saturday as well! Caught a cooler full Saturday.

[@scubadkins]

Welcome back Dave! Glad ya got boat motor fixed. I think it’s time to wash boat again! 👄 lol

[@joemazurek7407]

Glad you are back...was fearful that boat washing gal may have taken your worm.

[@NatesOutdoors]

Awesome to see you back man,I know when catfish Dave has trouble catching fish then i dont feel so bad when I go out and get skunked lol

[@Wonkzzilla]

Glad to have you back & taking us along! Woo!

[@JeffreyJordan-gw9vt]

Good to see you back on the water.

[@garybeard9071]

We missed you Dave. WELCOME BACK!

[@johnbussey2521]

Glad you're back Dave just in time for the flathead bite

[@jamesoosterbaan556]

Awesome to see you back. Always enjoy your videos

[@sethblue2092]

Dave I'm sure you are going to snarl at my suggestion after the video you made long ago about not liking this particular knot. I'm just suggesting it for your consideration because it works, works for me and will work for you to cut down on gut hooking live bait fish. Slip-float > swivel > your favorite "Snelled" baithook leader. I don't know if you have a perch box or bait fish box but I do know you read the comments from your viewers and if you see a "test-worthy" suggestion you make a video testing it out. We don't have skipjack down where I'm at as far SE as you can get in Southeast Kansas. Down where your feet can be standing in Kansas casting your pole out and your bait lands on the Oklahoma side of the border fishing the Neosho river. My perch pole/ bait pole is always rigged; weighted slip float, 10in snelled leader. I can add them little clamp on lead weights if i need to cast a little farther or just to have my worm sink a little faster in a jig presentation or fish it no add on weight pull the float up to give my line 10ft of play if I wanted to slow-jig green sunfish (black perch) out of rock crevices. Anyhow it's versatile, dependable and I'd personally stand beside and vouch for a snelled bait fish set-up in any conversation or fishing story. Quick question. If you're making a video testing something and it involves fishing to test it and while testing it out fishing they both turn into catching, what kind of video is it then? Catching, fishing, testing? Or just a successful video?

[@RamosOutdoors]

Great to see you back!

[@conradboykoii1170]

Glad to see you back Dave! Yep, motor issues can really suck. You get mayflies down there too? They suck up here. Between Lake Huron, and Lake Erie, they can be so thick, they'll smear on the road so bad, your car can slide like it's on ice. And there's no point in fishing except for pike as the other fish are so full of those bugs they won't hardly even bite.

[@davidsmith-ee8cb]

Glad to see you back on the water!

[@rickkeifer3472]

I haven't went cat fishing in about a month myself because the temp.here in Calif.where I am at has been up around 110 degrees to hot to go.Imight go this sat.its going to be a little cooler.Good luck Dave and thanks for the fishing video.

[@johnwilson3891]

Sorry about your problems, just glad you're back.

[@johnmiley458]

Great to see you back.

[@mikeharcharik2975]

Good to see Dave is still so positive 😂

[@davidmikeska2442]

Good to see you back on the water!

[@roypeavy3542]

Glad you're back Dave 👍💪💪

[@dennisward7266]

COME DOGS...START BARKING

[@jellie_fishes]

Hey Dave, I handle the hook swallowers by using cheap EagleClaw Walmart snelled hooks. If they swallow, I clip the line right at the mouth and leave the hook in them. Then I just put another hook loop through the one I just cut and keep fishing. They usually live just fine with that hook in them for a while. Long enough to be bait anyway.

[@GregoryIannolo]

Welcome back. Did you get a new microphone. Your audio sounds great now. Looks like you can talk from anywhere on the boat now and be heard clearly. That is so much better than it used to be. Keep up the good work.

[@raywalsh6580]

Glad see you back catfish Dave

[@Luciddreamer007]

Catfish Dave 0r Bluegill Dave ?? Bet ole Catfish D was a goin’ stir-craw daddy not being able to get out on the water- glad you’ve returned Catfish Dave

[@JustinWatrobka-dg5ps]

I gotta say. You have the most graceful toss backs

[@LennisBranchJr]

WELCOME BACK!! I've missed your Videos

[@chriscriswell9194]

Great to see ya back Catfish Dave. My friend in Vegas had been bitching about the heat.

[@TNAROHfan]

#6 Circle hooks Dave. With a decent sized slip float, they pretty much set themselves in the mouth if they are worth catching.

[@NyfLyf73]

Glad to see you are back out on the water.

[@H3yItzChris]

Dave back at it hell yeah 💪

[@3LLOut]

Welcome back, Dave

[@wesleywalters4205]

Hey Dave, I’ve been having pretty good luck with #4 circle hooks for bluegill. Haven’t had nearly as many gut or gill hooks. Toss out under bobber and very slow retrieve. Usually hooks in the side of the mouth.

[@markalan9922]

Glad you're back on the water ! We fish with bluegill and I've switched to #6 circle hook because they swallow the hook. It works ! Hope ya catch a hog.

[@JRPearson]

Great to see you back on.with the videos

[@DanDickey-v7t]

Dave i like your channel i have for years used big hooks and big bait had lots of success Iwanted to tell you a way that you can catch bluegill that will prevent them from swollowing the hook use a small 1/32 jighead with worm they will take it as well as a straight shank hook the jig head keeps them from swolling it I hope you will try this it really works well

[@patricktravis4134]

Good to see you back my friend....

[@Budreaux63]

Great to see ya back Dave! Hopefully alot of summer fishin trips left! Who was that girl that don't fish?

[@camojoe83]

My great uncle used to swear by thawing out his frozen bait in garlic brine. It definitely kills the freezer smell and fixes some of the texture weirdness too.

[@kennethclark3932]

nice to see you back on the water. thx 4 vid.

[@stevenhunt933]

Good to have you back n on the water . I kinda miss your bank fishin 😎

[@Njfishingmaniac]

Daggone clouds ruining his fishing stream

[@zachturner3443]

Awesome video man 🎣🎣🔥🔥

[@RonaldRasmussen-sz1uz]

Welcome back Dave

[@H3yItzChris]

Great info from the best to ever do it 💪

[@BattleBendOutdoors]

Been weird turning on KZbin not seeing a new catfish Dave video in my recommendations

[@andrewgrosko1686]

Save your back Dave and take your bilge pump that you have connected to your cooler aerator hose and just drop it into the lake and there ya go! Auto fill without having to bend and lean over the side of your boat with your lil bucket umpteen hundred times!!! Do the opposite and you can pump water out of your cooler by holding the aerator over the side of your boat and then flip flop back to the bilge pump in the lake and replace with fresh water!! I got same setup so I know what you are dealing with big pimp'n!

[@dannyhackworth4158]

Catfish Dave if you use a long shank hook and put a bend in the hook just above the business end of the hook the hook won't go deep in the bream your results will be a lot better just a 30 degree bend will do it

[@JohnDudenhoeffer]

Welcome back!!

[@billylusk3515]

Daves a little rusty getting back to it, but he will get back on track

[@tedc7714]

They nred to stock with hybrids Bluegills, flatheads and crappies are the 3 best tasting fish.

[@lawrencewebb6710]

Same on bait but we out now. Bluegill heads was the best luck we had

[@KanokieCatfish]

About dam time Dave.

[@daleallen6282]

Happy see your fishing instead of wishing

[@drewcrane3338]

Damn good to see you.

[@paintballer4665]

Dave, get you a bubblebox with a couple D batteries. Keeps a dozen or so gills alive for days in a cooler. Nice contraption though!

[@madtownangler]

I have a spot where I catch bluegills from a dock with a bead head fly. Everyone else is using nightcrawlers and getting their bait torn off and I'm getting a bluegill every cast. I usually go on Friday mornings and catch enough cutbait for the whole week in a half hour

[@robertfandel9442]

Best pistachios there are .

[@representation1114]

Back at it!

[@jamesvann8203]

tons of mayflies in kingston right now

[@davidnickle9831]

Got To Ask ,,, Dave why Didn't you just switch out the Motor ??? Then put a new lower on your old Motor for a Back up, or Sell to recover Some of your expense ? But I understand that All the Lifting involved to do That ,,, Happy to see your Back 🦈

[@toddschmutz-qx8wm]

We’re in the same Hell have you been

[@troyvaughn6060]

The man is back hot damn

[@FreshwaterSouL]

That boat motor gave Dave a whooping on his back probably. They are not light weight especially in the shipping container

[@MySORRELL]

THANKS!

[@diggy-d8w]

We ain't seen you since you unloaded that motor alone...... lol, now stand up & take photo's w/ the Bluegills you're catching!

[@mikemerideth7234]

Glad to see ya again!

[@talonskull10]

Welcome back😂

[@johnnycashmiller288]

May be dave been shacked up with more than a boat the last month.

[@madtownangler]

My dad took my canoe and built a livewell into it. He takes his and mine and made a catamaran out of them because the water was so low in the river he fishes. He hasn't taken his regular boat out in a few years

[@kennethmichael5607]

Getem Dave

[@dirtyfish6238]

Your Back.

[@bryangoer]

Use the long shank hook but crimp the barb flat !!

[@MrPhoenix1800]

I don’t get the fish swallowing the hook theory you got. I’ve cut the line on bluegills that swallow the hook and through them in my live well hooked them later that day and their still alive three hours after nose hooking them. Braid helps with feeling the bite as well.

[@AN-eo9pf]

Dave you maybe should've filled the bait tank up before you left the dock.

[@robertrobertson5120]

Why didn't you replace the old motor with the new? Rather than just the lower unit? Good to see you back on the water either way!

[@tonysimons7218]

Is that the GoPro or dji?

[@FishingKC15]

Try using a jig head for bluegill instead of just a hook, it's a lot harder for them to swallow

[@Firewoodmaninvirgina]

Why didn’t you just put the new motor on the boat

[@JamesJackson-j7p]

missed you man I noticed you got Alot of catfish rods I just broke mine setting the hook if you have a old one could you send it my way

[@lext4374]

A brand new "fishin' video."

[@kennethevans138]

Do you salt your bait before you freeze it? I thing it makes it a little tougher when you use it.

[@ronparker2131]

Did you realy call that first fish a dink? ive got to step up my game .

[@williamwhipple7129]

Used a small jig and then they won't swallow it

[@billstopinski2568]

if you cover your boat you wont have a wet seat

[@glassontherocks]

I'm 71 where do I get me a new lower unit?

[@williamgibson3477]

Hey you're fishing

[@nelson8527]

Man I have t seen you on KZbin for a long time, I go to your page and I see you been putting videos out, I am just not getting them. KZbin is not right.

[@Jessica37323]

[@stephencarlson1430]

[@LemayNelson]
