    CD , I’m retired, disabled, used to love chasing catfish in my younger days. I want to thank you for the hard work you do to produce these videos for me and my wife. Congrats on the big one! Your still the best. We used to love the bank videos. Especially the time you were hung in that tree and cut it up! We laughed and laughed. Keep them up Dave. Stay out of Ala. my wife loves you!

    I don't even fish at all anymore, but I love watching fishing videos. I used to fish here and there when I was younger, I'm 28 now, I know I'm still a young guy... However, I have a 2 & a half year old son who is a pistol and has endless amounts of energy. Plus my fiance is pregnant again with our second child, (this one is a girl) but point being I just don't have literally any time to go out myself. So, I just live vicariously through Dave and other fishermen KZreadrs who do have the time. Keep it up Dave! That Cat was a monster!

    @@leftovergaming9529 I went through that when my son was a baby. His mother was in school fulltime and I was working 60 - 80 hours a week to keep us afloat. But she eventually graduated and became a CPA and he got big enough to go with me. He's 48 now and still my best friend and fishing buddy. That can happen for you too man. Just be patient and give it time.

    @@leftovergaming9529 That's a good age. I'm 70 and I caught my first fish at 2 or so my parents told me. I was in the boat with my Dad Pike fishing. Well they have a picture of me with me and the fish. I had it blown up and framed. You and him will always remember those days. Don't let them pass you by . My Daughter is 40 and she still remembers catching her first fish. My grandkids are my best fishing Buddies. What a hand full they are but it's worth all the problems and aggravation they give me. Take some time. If only a couple hours a month.

I had to grab a 52 inch 55 pound striper in the Chesapeake Bay by the lower lip, like a largemouth and drag him on board our 19 foot boat, we had forgotten the net. Your cat beats my striper.
