With all the crap that's going on in the world your videos are one thing that puts me in a mood of normalcy thanks for taking us fishing. I can always depend on you to have a good video!

I know the sun causes a problem to see good but in a way it gave a nostalgic camera effect on what you were doing. A fisherman on the river catching catfish. Nice fat catfish!!!

Damn you definitely know how to attract the big fish. And I like the fact they're all in different spots. Oh and your yarn about the bad inmates had to go bass fishing was great.

I love the catfish Dave, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Love it.

Dang it Dave! I'm a catfisherman but they surely would have had me bass fishing the whole time in that prison.

The history is a BS story.... That wasn't a prison and it was built from 1905 to 1913... That building is the old powerhouse from the dam that was there... They were having troubles with this dam and tore it out when a new dam was built some 6 miles down river... Great story, great fish and video.

Another great video and again, love your music.

That last one was a monster You are the man Love the videos Thanks Dave

Looks like u got a new net. Bigger then the last one

All right. I think this is number 3 that Dave hasn't broke his net. Good fish Dave

Not sure if you were joking or not but Hales Bar wasn’t a prison. But it is supposedly haunted from the men that worked there and there are graveyards around there, that they flooded when they made all that. There have been a few of those ghost hunter shows filmed there.

He was clearly joking.. “No wake that means don’t wake the guards”… Everybody knows what no wake means. He’s just got a dry sense of humor and likes to mess with people.

Hey Dave, I just want you to know your videos are great and i have fished that very same area almost my whole life and its great to see you sharing it with the world. Keep the great content coming thanks Catfish Dave.

great job been fishing 60 years you are the best i ever seen or hear of thanks for taking me along with you

Just don't get no better than catfish Dave! keep em coming Dave!

Dave you can use your camera light in the daylight to take away the darkness when the sun is not in the right spot. On this subject, you are a little bright at night. Adjustable camera lights are the way to go. I enjoy all your videos.

Nice blue cats wish I was fishing today myself love it ! Do you ever eat any fish ? I like to catch catfish but they are not my favorite eating fish but I do keep some of the small ones to eat ever now and then they are so fun to catch .good luck be safe and keep them videos coming!

Another amazing video, Dave. Great fishing, and great surroundings.

Bro another great video! Congratulations on catching some nice Blues! Thanks for all your info! Your fan from north Alabama ghenley35

Dave great video. Just so ya know the sun in camera is fine, vid still looks good.

Great video! Nice fish

Another awesome catfish video! you are truly a legend

Were those big old good ones or good old big ones? Great catch!

Come fish in Michigan. It's cloudy most of the time with bridges that block out the sun. When only a Flathead will do.

Another great video. Love it Catfish Dave!

Love You Catfish Dave!!

Amazing as always Dave. ❤

Nice prison bars blue ! !

Ooooooo weeee! That last one was a sho-nuff hog! 😊

That thumbnail is awesome

What a great trip Dave !

Master class! Catfish Dave 🎣

That was a great video thanks

Man u catch some nice catfish Dave. U catch big fish every trip out that. I may catch one once in a lifetime. I ain't never caught nothing like the fish you bring in

Thanks again Dave, God bless

Another classic!

Nice fish, great music

Yes Sir!! Killing it Dave!!💯

Enjoyed that, thanks CD

The algorithm ate this one up. Congrats Dave!

I am just absolutely blown away with your knowledge on catfishing. You know and can tell of the fish even before it takes off with the bait. This is how I'd like to be when it comes to fishing.

Undisputed heavyweight champion of the catfish world 🌎

I was told Flatheads are difficult to catch when the water temperature hits 50. They do catch some threw the ice in Michigan, but based on my limited experience it's a waste of time below 50 degrees. No blues here.

I starting to think you might be a pretty good catfisherman 🧐

I thought for sure you were going to say “if they weren’t good, they would be bait!”

That was a lot of fun. Great trip.

Just this trip alone... I see 3 cats way over 20 lbs ! That's beyond rare here !

I live in Monroe County Dave... I'd love to fish with you one day!!!

Big Dave with a big cat

Them big catfish are probably older then he is, also thanks for throwing them back in. If you want catfish to eat go to a restaurant or buying at the store but let these guys alone

I see you're using that new net a bit more gingerly since you folded the handle on the last one... LOL I am planning a road trip down that way to do some fishing this spring Son and I will be headed down from the communist peoples republic of Illinois Would be great to run into you and shake your hand

Dave you need a pair of Hook Sunglasses made by Opticians that Fish! WOW. Is what people say when they put HOOK Optics on their face for the first time. Jeff in LA USA

I fish mostly with live bluegills. It sure makes it nice when you get a bite on cut bait. You know it's not your bait moving.

One of your best vids

"make them bass fish" rofl:)

Good haul man! 🎉

Gettem Dave 💪💪💪

I got to have my sunglasses on the water or id be crying all day

Good video and thank you much.

Another great video.

It was catfish in this video, this is indeed a fishing video 🔥 20:22

I'm a crappie fisherman myself! The only bass I've ever caught were by mistake. I would of hated to be forced to catch bass.

That’s not a prison…..it’s the Hales Bar Dam

Catfish Dave 100K💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Thanks Dave!

nice video dave!

The wooooooh is back today!!!!

Do you fish the Yadkin River chain of lakes for Flatheads?

Hmmm curious where your getting your information about the “prison” over there. Retired tenn. DOC!

Hales Bar Dam very very haunted place

Nice video!

Nickajack is one of the best BIG CAT lakes in tenn

Would like to hear the history of the prison.

I'm not sure there's anyone else on KZread pulling consistent giants like catfish Dave.

I could see good no problem great video

Exactly what I thought

Dave you are a catfishing gangster!

You need to convert a guitar string wonder to put on a drill do you can wind those reels up faster

I seen an episode of ghost adventures shot at that place. Some creepy stuff goes on in there 😱

Do the Mad Cat rods work well with boards?

Hey Dave, will you show your depth finder every now and then?

Do you ever catch anything other than catfish when fishing on the bottom in deep water? Is there anything else down there that would eat cut bait? I assume too deep for turtles.

THANKS!

We need more stories....nice jab at bass fishermen..😅

Reuben's Train=Big Fish!!

Thats not a prison lol. Thats an old abandoned dam and powerhouse. They blew up the dam many years ago and built a new dam down stream and flooded the area.

Old Saltwater Tactic when drifting structure is to use long pieces of rebar fishing deep. Tends to lay just right and when it comes time to wind it lifts back up and comes right out. I would think Stainless Spring Steel and weight would be dependant on current. Please make use of idea, Please. Blessings.

Dave what are you charging to go out with you one day?

The old lock part of the dam was used after the dam was closed to load coal barge's for Tennessee consolidated coal company

I know you don’t like a bunch of cameras but a take down camera by your rod rack would be a cool shot for those moments. And it might help with the sun glare

The sun doesn't bother us the video still good quality don't make the sun make you have a bad time ...like they say a bad day fishing is still better than a any day inside

Hails bar is a haunted power house

Dont worry about the sun to much , your all good

Use your scale and let us know how big they are!
