The life of a You Tube Catfisherman. My story. The rise of a You Tube Catfish celebrity as well as what it's like to be me. My mindset during a fishing trip. A story of hard work pays off.
This may be my favorite video yet. It's good to see behind the scenes. Thanks for entertaining us. I hope you make a fortune doing this. You deserve it!
Really enjoyed the video Dave. Thanks for all your background info. Nice to know you a little better. I’m 72 and my son and I are big fans. Wishing you continued great success. Appreciate all you do for your fans!
I’ll always be a fan of the catfish Dave Chanel because your real and you never lie about fishing wen you have a good day you show it wen you have a bad day you show it and I’ll continue to support you forever
Dave, I started watching you because you are for real. That's what I like. You don't do the ego thing. You don't try to portray yourself as anyone other than who you are. You are a good man. 'Preciate 'ya.
Good on you for shouting out Hagen - his channel is great and he seems like a genuine dude. If you look at what the Googan squad did in bass fishing and basically made a mint - you, Justin, ChattCats, and Hagen could for sure make your own catfish gear company and shift things. Rods, hooks, whatever. The Googan guys knew that at the end of the day sales is what makes a company, and all the other guys would be terrified if y'all decided to get into it.
Honest stuff. The best kind of stuff. C Dave is entertaining. He is a very good fisherman that catches nice fish. But above all of that he is himself and honest.
Catfish Dave thanks for the shout out!... glad to help you when I can. You are the best hands down you are the one that got me back into catfishing and I Thank you for that, love your channel and I love your music and guitar picked .Keep up the great work and great videos !👍
Catfish Dave and Dieter melhorn both have great channels. Dieter's comments were turned off by TH-cam due to him having kids in some of his videos. TH-cam done it to a lot of great channels.
I had no dm idea how hard you worked and how much you’ve given but ..... thanks Dave, I really do appreciate all you’ve done . I have been successfully in business for 22 years , in the middle to high end contracting an I loved it. I’m pretty much shut down now with Ms multiple sclerosis now but I’m thankful to be able to give. l spend a good portion of my time to watch great fishing shows like yours. Don’t stop loving and sharing your passion.
A decent video for a shout out..a money fish is catfish Daves game. Have to wonder what Michael money (?) Is lol. Both Classy fellas wigh successful youtube channels. Thanks Catfish Dave for your explanation of the working structure of youtube. Glad this was a paying video for your 200 mile journey that you've taken us all on...cheers!
Thanks for the trip along memory lane. Many who watch and think 'I could do that' don't realize the amount of work required to excel at this TH-cam thing. Recording, editing, and uploading require a significant time commitment that is added to the time required to keep gear, boats, etc in working order.
Dave, great channel and I have had a few laughs while watching your channel. You keep me going while I am confined to the house while my wife is going through chemotherapy for cancer after she had surgery to remove her kidney. Keep plugging along with your fishing. It keeps me going.
Catfish Ken, I am so sorry to hear that your wife hasn't been well!! I will send both of you my prayers, and I truly mean that. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR WIFE ALWAYS!!!!!
Born and raised in PNW really cold freshwater fisheries was my mentor on fishing. Yet I got to see native Salmon in tiny streams spawning future generations. Bullheads were my early catfish experience, so watching you and others living where truly large catfish lives plus learning a few things that make my "how to's" knowledge base was a plus! Thanks, Dave for sharing your bank fishing experiences as boats are out of my fishing world.
There’s a lot of fishing youtubers I follow and they all catch big fish, that’s only half the reason I watch, personality is the other half. Dave is the most entertaining and lets the viewers into his personal life. That’s why this is my favorite channel
After one day, you have 2.2k likes and only 20 dislikes so you don't really have a lot people that dislike you Dave. You are genuine, down to earth good entertainment and I know because I have been loving catfishing for over sixty years.
Yup. Ten years ago my fishing hobby started getting to be more important than my job as a Master Electrician. In my younger days I was blessed to have a father who could afford to travel for fishing/camping. I developed the hobby in the same way. In my mid 50s I started working less & went back to travelling for big fish. Now I'm 65 and retired mostly except for a little side work. Last year I covered 9000 miles to camp and fish. I am at peace with myself and with the world. My only regret is that I have no son to pass this down to, as my father taught me. Best of luck on the big Kitties Dave.
Congratulations Dave on everything you've been working so hard for... Especially that big flatty. Can't wait to see you reach 50 thousand scripes....a lot of people are on this journey with you brother. Thanks for all the entertainment
Been subscribed to you and him for a long time now... Never miss a video from either of you or Kayak catfishing! I feel for you and understand what you say, but may your love for fishing never become "just a job" for you bud.
I like the way Hagen lets Alton reel in some big fish. You're right he is very willing to share anything he has learned with us amateurs. Enjoyed listening to you wail on the Fender. If I remember correctly I saw a Les Paul hanging on your wall in one of your videos. Love them Flatheads! Great video Dave!
Dave, I hope you like your Coatrack. That for hanging up the most famous jacket in Catfish History. Stay safe from the corrupt State of Pennsylvania. God bless
Greatly enjoyed the history of a few years of Dave. I watch from Abu Dhabi, UAE (been here for 10 years). Will be returning to east TN in July. Plan on setting the hook on a few crappie when I return. Thanks for the effort and your honesty!!
I have always liked your vedios. They are real life fishing from a real working man. They show the good and the bad the Triumphs and failures.they are honest down to earth real fishing vedios. I enjoyed this vedio most out of them all because it gave a look into your life and what it takes to do what you do I know you want to catch that money fish but I know it dont always happen but I watch every vedio no matter what because it is what it is and you dont sugar coat it. I said it befor I'll say it again you keep doing what you do and I will watch. Congratulations on your success and hope it continues.
Dave couldnt say it any better. I love catfishing and relaxing. It has gotten me out of so much stuff. I am able to think out there and relax. Tight lines. Great catches.
Those are good channels! Joe with Chatt Cats Fishing was the one who told me to talk with you about TH-cam. He was my TH-cam mentor in the beginning. You have the talent that makes it work here on TH-cam!
Goid for the shout out for Hagan Grub he is a great cat fishermen as well. I watch his videos along with some others and yours as well.you have different techniques to try ,always be who your are and keep fishing. The wife told me she is taking me to Cat Conference next year..I am hoping to meet you in person as well as Dieter Melhorn,also Justin Johnson as well.. Good fishing and tite lines to you..
Found tour channel about 2-3 months ago. Right from the first video I knew you were genuine guy trying to do something you love to do! Thanks for all the hard work you put into you videos!
BEST one of your videos I have seen so far! I am new to your channel and now I am watching your early videos too! Love the variety of content! Love hearing your story! Love seeing your new amp and you playing! Thanks a lot! 🦈 🐋
Catfish Dave, I follow you because of your ability to be real in your videos and the tutorials. I've applied you're techniques to my fishing waters in Lake of the Ozarks and now seeing larger fish. You dont sugar coat your feelings and what you see is what you get. While not holding the music ability or fishing skills you have mastered, I do share the catfish passion and hope to one day to land that once in a lifetime triple digit dream fish. Keep up on making your entertaining videos and well keep watching. Like you said, even the trolls are "Views". Keep clear of the Ocean Cruisers and keep the Little Debbies fresh. Thanks again Randy from Camdenton, Mo.
Thank you for the realistic look on the catfish game. I used stand about the learning all over again once you get a boat. I bought mine about 8 months ago and on top of that I moved from Chattanooga up to ten mile above the watts bar dam. Slowly learning my new fishing waters. Just keep them coming I watch them all and have learned a ton from you. Just wants to say thanks again and let you know your appreciated. Thanks for what you do dave
I love to watch you fish but I also love to here you talk. I honestly would be a fan of all you did was sit and pick that guitar or talk about life in general. Thank you Dave for all you do. Much appreciated
Yeah I have a brother that was a lot like you Dave.! Working at a paper mill and lived for his five days off to fish for the big yellow cats. About 75 was his best one that I remember. Great video and commentary!! Loved it
I'll be the first one to admit that the first video I watched I wasn't a fan of catfish Dave. But youtube kept recommending the videos I watched out of boredom. But the more I watched the more I began to like the videos and now you're one of my favorite fisherman to watch. I've caught several 20-30 lb catfish and e few 50-75lb fish it's a hard thing to go out and consistently catch the "money fish" and I know that in the real world it doesn't happen every single trip it's good to see someone not sugar coat the sport and actually tell it the way it is!
We heard about Catfish Dave from Hook Line and Chill, and been watching ever since. Love watching and listening to the music and his guitar playing. Thanks for all you do Dave. Take care.
Glad to see you doing so good and still keeping it real brother. I know your struggle I work 40-50 hrs a week and tournament fish while trying to start my channel. I hope to be half a big as you some day. Keep grinding your a true inspiration to a lot of us
When I’m not fishing I’m watching fishing videos on TH-cam. There are tons out there. Some I like, while others I don’t care for. So, what makes a good fishing video to me? Videos like yours that offer no fluff, advertising, or BS. Just straight fishing, talking about fishing and, life in general. People like watching others enjoy their passion and you certainly offer that with a great personality to boot. In fact, I wouldn’t mind seeing a bit more guitar playing occasionally. You’re entertaining and always offer good advice to help me catch more fish. I know it’s a lot of extra work editing and creating videos and I appreciate that you do. Thanks!
Great video catfish Dave thanks for the great content! Hagen Grubbs has a great channel I seen him and Landen at wolf creek dam today he was busy fishing.. Good luck boys! All y’all!
Love the videos, Dave. So much work goes into maintaining a great channel. My 105 subscribers after years of half assing this can attest to that. Keep them coming!
oh no you sold your fender guitar and amp! damn what a sacrifice... Well son... that is one reason I like to watch your videos.. you give an honest showing of what fishing is really about.. as they said when I was a pup "some days you eat the bear and some days the bear eats you!" It ain't just going out and catching the big ones and a hundred every time... sometimes you got dogs barking and people shooting and the fish have all gone to the poker game.. then there are the times when that big ole chuck comes by and says "hummm dinner!" .. (Damn I 'member them old amps.. Whooo hoo sound good!) Well, I comment as I watch these videos (it is kind of like talking to a friend) you have made a friend here.. and that was a real nice money fish.. Carry on! Have a great Christmas season David..
Thanks for the additional insight. I always knew you were the real deal (however, you did scare me when you got on the chicken bandwagon). You have taught me a bunch about this sport. Keep fighting the good fight. When I can't get out because of cold rain or old creaky joint pain, there is always the opportunity to watch your videos. It is the next best thing to being on my boat.
I agree, perhaps Catfish Dave could do more like this video..certainly would be unique compared to the other catfish channels. Would most likely gain a significant amount of new subscribers and of course more $$. Like to see Dave do one; about those dang blasted waffle house second shift waitresses. .Hahaha. that's part of the journey to catfish in!
Dave, what sets you apart from the other youtube fishermen is you are being you. I can tell who you are on your videos is who you are in real life. I see these other guys who put on a fake face and are always active chipper and fake. You aren’t afraid to complain when its too hot out or if you are having a shitty day. You are being a human being that we can relate to. I wish i could fish with you one time. I am an introvert like you and i would not talk your head off. I hate when i go fishing and strangers walk up on me. I usually fish at obscure spots at the Ohio River. I have a few secret spots that no one knows about except some boaters. Keep on keeping on! -Jeff, from Ohio
I ain't got nothing but the largest amount of respect for you catfish you are an inspiration to us extreme catfisherman it would be an honor to meet you take care Godspeed
I found Hagen Grubbs before I saw your shoutout. Classy guy. Like how his son fishes with him. Seems like a good ole boy. Thanks Dave. Really enjoy your channel.
You gotta love it when they hit tight at the boat. Grab me some shine while you're there plzzzzzz. The amp sounds as it should fer a 56 model. Amazing🎸🎤
Catfish Dave you are one of a few men that accomplish such greatness.! You my friend are. Catching way more bigger Catfish than infisher magazine dream of. That. Magazine is when I started catfishing at santee Cooper SC I AM DISABLED now and unable to enjoy catfishing. I am enjoying your videos so much thanks for the videos.
Thanks for this video Dave, I truly love Your channel! I’ve been trying to go fishing all year, but health issues have prevented it, so I fish through Your channel. Keep up the good work!!
Dave, I've been a long time subscriber & fan. I encourage you to keep on keeping on! You have encouraged me so much with my catfishing, because you never know until you throw!!🎣🎣🎣
Dave you are living the Life!! I snagged 2 reels on Black Friday, now over Christmas I'm going to snag 2 Cat rods so this Spring I can try your bait, CHICKEN!! 😁😁😁😁😁😁
dave...Brilliant, honest vid of where you really are with your Fishing and TH-cam. Cannot fault you or your super channel. Keep em coming Dave Best regards IAN UK
Around 4. Min......you helped me make a decision about me my wife and fishing ......I'm tired dave....tired of having to sneak off to fish ,I'm TIRED OF ASKING PERMISSION, IM TAKING MY 6 BOYS AND WERE STARTING A FISHING CHANNEL.......IM GONNA LIVE IN THE WOODS ON THE WITHLACOOCHI. thanks dave
I don’t don’t even catfish anymore like I use to. I’m more of a saltwater fisherman. But I still thoroughly enjoy every video you put out Dave. Keep it up you’ll be at 100k by sometime next year I bet
My grandfather told me 50 years ago: "Them that can brag without lying, let them brag. The truth needs no apology". Dave is the real deal.
That's good philosophy
This may be my favorite video yet. It's good to see behind the scenes. Thanks for entertaining us. I hope you make a fortune doing this. You deserve it!
Really enjoyed the video Dave. Thanks for all your background info. Nice to know you a little better. I’m 72 and my son and I are big fans. Wishing you continued great success. Appreciate all you do for your fans!
I’ll always be a fan of the catfish Dave Chanel because your real and you never lie about fishing wen you have a good day you show it wen you have a bad day you show it and I’ll continue to support you forever
Ember McLain - That's it . . . Dave is always Dave & That's why we love him ❤
No doubt love this dude! Everyday isn’t always a jam up but glad he shows that to all! Keep up the good, you have my support fella!!!!!
Dave if you made shirts that said "you never know til you throw" or "dagblasted dogs" I would get both!
ME TOO!!!!
Hell yea
Especially "Dagblasted dog, Dagblasted bird". I’d pay damn good money 😂
“You don’t know until you throw” would sell like hot cakes.
Dagblasted fish with the stripes on them
Dave, I started watching you because you are for real. That's what I like. You don't do the ego thing. You don't try to portray yourself as anyone other than who you are. You are a good man. 'Preciate 'ya.
Dave, you are the Catfather
Your 100% correct Dave . Hagen is a fine young man and he makes good videos well . That was nice of you brother
Good on you for shouting out Hagen - his channel is great and he seems like a genuine dude.

We need another Dieter Melhorn impression
I noticed Melhorn's comments are turned off. I guess he can't take the heat from Dave's fans.
Catfish Dave and Dieter melhorn both have great channels. Dieter's comments were turned off by TH-cam due to him having kids in some of his videos. TH-cam done it to a lot of great channels.
omg lmao
Black bibs and green hoodie, fishin' from a kayak...had to be Justin! You two guys are the best thing going on youtube.
I had no dm idea how hard you worked and how much you’ve given but ..... thanks Dave, I really do appreciate all you’ve done .

A decent video for a shout out..a money fish is catfish Daves game.
Have to wonder what Michael money (?) Is lol.
Both Classy fellas wigh successful youtube channels.
Thanks Catfish Dave for your explanation of the working structure of youtube. Glad this was a paying video for your 200 mile journey that you've taken us all on...cheers!
Tell your boss..." Take this job and shove it" ..We love you and your videos

@@jonbain9216 Thank you. Just make sure that the catfishing videos continue.
@@dbcooper692 Thank You for the prayers. Just make sure that the catfishing videos keep coming.
Keep doing what ur doing Dave. Lots of people hate success. You and Kayak catfish are the best.
I think the same about Hagen Grubbs and his son.
Born and raised in PNW really cold freshwater fisheries was my mentor on fishing. Yet I got to see native Salmon in tiny streams spawning future generations. Bullheads were my early catfish experience, so watching you and others living where truly large catfish lives plus learning a few things that make my "how to's" knowledge base was a plus! Thanks, Dave for sharing your bank fishing experiences as boats are out of my fishing world.
Pretending to be finishing a spreadsheet right now when ppl walk by..... but this is where I am mentally, love it Dave.
They use spreadsheets at Walmart?
@@sjs1555 lol I'm sure they do, I'm just a stooge in a cubicle for a rental clearing house agency.... I've got a meeting with the Bob's later.
@@fredwidmer7946 Ok good comeback lol
You are good at what you do Dave. Enjoyed the video.
I watch Hagens channel too. He is a great fisherman and better dude!. Im glad you gave him a shout out!!!
There’s a lot of fishing youtubers I follow and they all catch big fish, that’s only half the reason I watch, personality is the other half. Dave is the most entertaining and lets the viewers into his personal life. That’s why this is my favorite channel
I’m definitely a fan , I enjoy watching you catch fish and a bigger fan of your humor , history lessons and narration of the adventures !😂😊
After one day, you have 2.2k likes and only 20 dislikes so you don't really have a lot people that dislike you Dave. You are genuine, down to earth good entertainment and I know because I have been loving catfishing for over sixty years.
I got old and cant go fishing anymore but watching your videos keeps the feeling alive. Thanks Dave
this was my favorite video of yours so far really enjoyed the content you always tell it like it is. much respect. a new subscriber
I been watching you, Hagen, a couple more for over 2 years and have learned a lot from everyone.
Very interesting story Dave. Keep doing what you do and we will keep watching. Congratulations on all that you have accomplished.

Enjoyed the video. One of your best yet
You're one of the Best Fishermen. Thanks for sharing Your Knowledge of Fishing for Catfish
Great video, Dave. Thanks for the peek behind the curtain and that whopper of a flathead.
Thanks for the additional insight. I always knew you were the real deal (however, you did scare me when you got on the chicken bandwagon). You have taught me a bunch about this sport. Keep fighting the good fight. When I can't get out because of cold rain or old creaky joint pain, there is always the opportunity to watch your videos. It is the next best thing to being on my boat.
Congrats on the money fish and thanks for the behind the scenes look. Love this kind of video
I agree, perhaps Catfish Dave could do more like this video..certainly would be unique compared to the other catfish channels. Would most likely gain a significant amount of new subscribers and of course more $$.
Like to see Dave do one; about those dang blasted waffle house second shift waitresses. .Hahaha. that's part of the journey to catfish in!
This is the best video you have out handsdown !
Great video this is the catfish dave i like to see !
Dave, what sets you apart from the other youtube fishermen is you are being you. I can tell who you are on your videos is who you are in real life. I see these other guys who put on a fake face and are always active chipper and fake. You aren’t afraid to complain when its too hot out or if you are having a shitty day. You are being a human being that we can relate to. I wish i could fish with you one time. I am an introvert like you and i would not talk your head off. I hate when i go fishing and strangers walk up on me. I usually fish at obscure spots at the Ohio River. I have a few secret spots that no one knows about except some boaters. Keep on keeping on!

I ain't got nothing but the largest amount of respect for you catfish you are an inspiration to us extreme catfisherman it would be an honor to meet you take care Godspeed
I found Hagen Grubbs before I saw your shoutout. Classy guy. Like how his son fishes with him. Seems like a good ole boy. Thanks Dave. Really enjoy your channel.
Outstanding video! From Catfish Dave! 👏👏👏🎣
Another Tennessee boy here with you. Grew up bumping the bottom on the Tennessee river. Keep snagging those tanks!
After 17 layers, "now I just gotta stay in the boat." Haha love these vids
All of you TH-cam catfish guys are great. Most of us have to watch YOU to even see catfish that big. 👍
That’s a great flathead! Just shows that persistence pays off. Great video!
You gotta love it when they hit tight at the boat. Grab me some shine while you're there plzzzzzz. The amp sounds as it should fer a 56 model. Amazing🎸🎤
