I don't ever catfish but I like watching you catch them. I gotta say it's impressive how many, and how big of catfish you catch even on a lake you've never fished before. Hell of a fisherman buddy. Have a good one.

@Roadhouse. If you watch Dave, you'll see him using proven techniques in likely places. He's a great fisherman.

Thank you for sharing and God bless you man. Your friend from Maryville Tennessee 👍

Looking forward to the time when your YT channel grows to the point you can travel all over the U.S. in search of huge trophy catfish.

Who would love to go fishing with Catfish Dave raise your hand! Carry on🖐✌

You are one of the best at new spots that I’ve ever seen or just plain ole lucky…which I don’t believe in…cause I’m a fisherman too. Kudos.

As some others mentioned, I don’t cat fish but love watching your videos. You sure make it interesting, keep it up….

Great video Dave. I love the James, the history of the river is awesome. Down river a little ways is the oldest continual business in the US. It was started in the 1600's and is still going today. You can see some of the housing and the plantation from Hopewell. It's right on the river.

Thank you for all the videos, "Catfish Dave". They always make my day.🎶🐋🎶 .

My home river love fishing the James, and yes there are flatheads in the James just got to know where they are .

Gotta love wing dams ! It's good to see ya out there ! Tennessee River is home but I've fished wing dams over some travels. Power plants are also great in winter.

Dave, The Biggest Cats Right now(last 10 years) are coming out of the Roanoke River System on the Va/NC border. 143 lber and several topping 100 lbs. The NCWRC shocked one over 100 lbs in the river. they have pics of it

Always get excited when a catfish Dave video comes on thanks for sharing with us Dave tight lines buddy!! God Bless

Cold weather Slimey eels, Thank you Dave.

Thanks Catfish Dave.my personal guide on the tube.leaned lessons are a blessing.

Every new body of water teaches us things. Thanks for another great catfish video Dave. GL in 2023

Catfish Dave laying the smackdown once again. 💪

Virginia King of the blue catfish world record holder 💪💪

You weren't far from the river front home of good ol sausage tycoon Mr. Jimmy Dean in that last segment of the video!

Love that you fished in my area!!!

Always cool to see an out of stater fishing some of my spots. You were really close to some good spots. Sidenote-there are lots of flatheads in the James. Hope you enjoyed your visit.

Looks like good healthy eating size cats and plenty of em ! I never thought about eel as bait but will try now thanks.

I was watching crack head cove, watching reruns till the new ones come out. Thank you for your time on the water and these videos

Dave, Show us some Virginia Giants. Shad at creek mouths is the key. God Bless

Pro tip for handling an Eel : ScotchBrite Pads

Farthern north, but susquehannah river and the flats in the bay have alot of catfish

Come to Oklahoma we got the biggest flatheads 😁

Know the bass fisherman get you,but the bass fishing on lower James is so good,if I'm not mistaken the bass masters classic was held 3 yrs in a row there,not sure where you are,I'd be in Hopewell for some bigger fish

You’ll get him.

James River is Better

Anytime you fish a new place you have to try different spots to see what's there. I'm sure there'll be a hole somewhere on that river holding monster's in. It may take a while to find it. But it's there. I'll beat on it. Take care, God Bless.

Dang Dave your catching so many you can’t even eat a bite of cheese😂

THANKS!

I'm liking the James River videos and learnin' the tide bite. I notice there are no dogs barking. Is this due to their cultural lifestyle?

Take a hike

I'm new to catfishing out of a boat and a new subscriber. I watched your video on catfish rods and have a question. Is there one good all around rod, not the best at one thing but good enough on all things? Fishing out of a boat that is. Bank fishing is a all together different. Thanks for your videos.

When, only Flatheads will do take a road trip to Michigan. Maybe, go old school & fish from the bank? Wait for the ice to melt. Lol.

Get more eel for bait!😁

Next you come down I can show you where to go. I have caught some in the 60 to 80 pounders.

Them dagblasted green carp fisherman.

I live in Lynchburg VA middle part of James flathead capital of the James. Got decent Channels too not many blues.

Have you ever fished any of the Missouri lakes?

If a guy or gal likes catfishing, then you cannot do better than Dave.

Your consideration of the tide is correct. Target the current strength. Shad size recognition is the key observation. Big bait big fish. that size of shad or the presence of shad is endemic in the Chesapeake. Potomac rapppahaanok James. Eel don’t come off of the hook unless you want it to

You're going to catch Bubba down river. If anyone can I'm betting on you Dave.

Would like to fish there one day

I got the bluegrass music queued up on another tab for that first fish so dont worry about playing any...

There are boat loads of flatheads on the james

Lake Gaston in North Carolina

I’m in Richmond but fish at Gaston. You have any plans on hitting Gaston or Kerr lake while you are up here?

Dave we be will look at welcome you to move to Virginia we got good cat fish ever where

Love to see you weigh some fish

Hello Dave

👍👍👍👍🎣

Living that LIFE! Tore em up!

Good job! Could you tell me name of last tune please. Ive backed it up but cant recall the name. Thankyou.

Don’t mind me just thought I’d wave a hand and help the channel.

I ve caught flounder in my cast net a little down river from where he is, but they go up to where Dave is too. Not in bunches though.

go back in the summer after those flatheads

Great video, now back to crackhead cove

Different river, same results

You might try wearing a damn boggan or hat on that head when it’s cold

Hello people

Oh look Catfish dave fishing in my neck of the woods. At one point i thought i’d get to meet him but looks like he didn’t really give a dam about fans 🤷🏻‍♂️ guess thats why i barely watch anymore. Guess it saved me some drama that he carries in his livewell..thanks !

Broke the boredom here at work again wishing I was out fishing today again 🎣

Nope... I'll take Tennessee catfish any day ! If I could only fish one body of water it would be Watts Barr lake for sure.

Hate to tell you,it's kinda on downlow,but the number of 60-80+ blues that are in lower James would blow your mind,the food source is second to none,because of the huge shad,crabs,herring that come in from the ocean

It's not on the dl, lol Secrets been out for years. I prefer Chickamauga over watts bar. I think tennessee is a great fishery and plenty a fish to be caught but I'm honest enough to know the laws of averages. It's like playing the lottery. Would u prefer fishing a water with 10 50lb fish per mile, or 100?
