This is the first time in awhile that I've seen you fish at night but once again you got what you went after. You're the man Dave! Nice flathead! Thanks for taking us!
@Catfish Dave, you should do a side series going after the state record of each of the top three catfish species. Start in Tn and then surrounding states.
@CatfishDave, you should try the 12V black light LED strips for your night fishin. Not sure how they would video, but... They're cheap and they work great for night fishin ! They are plenty of light to see what you're doing and with a lil florescent tape or spray paint, your rods will be seen a mile away ! Good to see your still slingin the bait ! Some nice work there, a sweet flatty !
Really like your videos. Great haircut, had hair to the middle of my back when I enlisted, hair has not touched my ears in 50 years and hasn't been messy or needed combed in 50 years.
Dave, now that was a pretty flathead. We used to go catch eaters once a year or so up the French Broad by the Little Pigeon River. That was the only place I knew to catch flatheads that I would eat cause of the pollution and all. If it was about 5 - 7 pounds it was dinner. Ten pounds was too big. I was 10 years old before I found out their real name wasn't mud cat. That is growing up in East Tennessee for you. Thanks, Dave. I had a good time fishing with you but fortunately mine was sans bugs. 😉👍🎣
Awesome Flatthead Dave!!!Ive caught several up the French Broad river on Kellys Bend Ln now called the BirdPark .Deep holes and big Rock drop offs up there..Always catching them on live Blue gills..
Only had my boat about 4 years now. I’ve broken more rods in those 4 years than the previous 45+ years of fishing combined. Like the lower volume on the music. Thanks for sharing.
Oh cool night fishing. We would think 🤔 that's weird fishing for catfish during the day. In Michigan we start fishing for Flatheads at dark. Yeah they were biting at 3AM last weekend. My buddy got 2 after 3. Approximately a 15 & 25 LBer.
You can see the rod break. CD puts a tough, hockey stick angle on just the top 2-3’ while pulling a fish out of the water and it broke. Most poles you can’t break if you keep them relatively horizontal. But, high stick one and put more the a 90 degree angle on the tip and it’ll often break.
Dave has two videos night fishing and breaks 2rods with the same technique. Grab a rod 1ft from the end and bounce a 8 lb. fish it's going to break. Someone commented contact the rod manufacturer.Maybe look at the video.
I like to night fish if I've got an illuminated boat dock so I can see how to load up , some of the docks on Normandy lake here in tennessee and on woods reservoir don't have good lights and you can't find the dang dock when your headed in for the night , I have to use a big spotlight to cover the bank so I can see the dock area, if you have boat trouble you're screwed at night too , it's hard to get anyone to help you at night , during the day anybody will give you a tow but at night they are more wary about approaching your boat
I've watched Dave break rods using the same technique. Don't hold the rod one foot from the end and shake a 8lb catfish the rod will break. Dave has two videos with the same results broke rods. Still another good video. 😢 12:2712:2712:2712:2712:2712:2712:2712:27
I popped 1 sear tightening by hand, I just gave out on its own after a couple weeks, then I broke 1 on a blue just shy of 50 on a suspended bait. Those rods definitely aren't made for up and down fishing
Atta kid. I live in Idaho and we have mostly Channels with a rare blues and Fatheads. I'm addicted to catfish. I go 3 days a week most every week. In the spring I was in Dayton Tennessee and caught quite a few blues 25 plus pounds but no Flatties. Love watching your channel.
Dave kills me that rascal catches at least a 30 pounder in every video lol I can go for months without catching a big cat fish but I do like other fishing too striper fishing and bass fishing with those rattling craw dad's, the bass nail them sucker's lol
Thanks for the Flathead video, Dave amnd for keeping my fishing fever up! You are truly a Master Catfisherman. I have always heard true catfishermen never brush their teeth or change their socks, was wondering what your thoughts or anybody else's would be on this subject. Flatheads are King!
???… I heard every word, no problem. And, my ears are 67 years old, and have spent decades standing right in front of guitar amps. Maybe it’s you that needs to spend some money for an ear exam? Not trying to be mean, just telling the truth.
I've memorized every note of that banjo music 😂
Dave, I think any of us mere mortals would be pleased beyond all recall to catch a FlatHead that size. Thanks for taking us along.
Its not all about the numbers of fish it’s the Quality of the Show. Thank you for your time on the water
This is the first time in awhile that I've seen you fish at night but once again you got what you went after. You're the man Dave! Nice flathead! Thanks for taking us!
Dave, Nightime is the right time for Flatheads. God Bless
Great show keep up the amazing work love those big ol catfish God bless all

Thanks again Dave! Nobody Id rather be watching after a long day at work! 💪
That orange shirt is so bright that you can't get lost our there in the dark.

Yup. I don't think it's the manufacturer fault. At least with all the rods I've broken over the years
Thanks For The Flathead Fishing Dave ,,Been Waiting for you to Target Them Big Boys ...
Quality over quantity Dave we want to see more big flat heads !
Very nice Flathead Dave, good to see you back on them again. Thank you for the video, enjoyed it. Good Luck and Have FUN!
A Night Video... Wooooo Hooooo! Thanks Dave!
I always did my catfishing at night.

CATFISH DAVE..!!!! love your videos sir..!! You should get a black light, those rods will "pop" at night..
Dave, can't hear on the new videos???
Bigger than any flathead I ever caught. Thank you Dave
Love seeing people catching flatheads so tired of blue blue blue
Gotta love the Flatheads, Thanks Dave for what you do

That dog follows you everywhere you go doesn't he lol nice flathead
Really good to see you do some night fishing again. I love what you night fish.

You can tune a guitar, but you can't tuna fish.

Awesome video Dave! Those rods seem to have defects, hope you've contacted the MFG to let them know the issues you are having.

There are no blue catfish in Idaho

Would be awesome if you made a trip to the Saginaw river in Michigan
THE MONSTERS COME OUT AT NIGHT!! SLAY THOSE BEASTS!! Carry on
Great video. 👍
Love it! Flathead September - Let's Go!
Merry Christmas Dave!
Great video dave! What's your biggest flathead
Hello Jeff , I am going tomorrow night on the Tn.river .I am going to show catfish Dave how it's done.
I caught a 20 pounder back in the mid 80's and put him in a two acre farm pond. I always wondered how big he had gotten..
Any other fish in the pond for him to eat?
Hey Dave, put some Oliver Anthony in the back ground. Rich men north of Richmond, love that guy
Dave kills me that rascal catches at least a 30 pounder in every video lol I can go for months without catching a big cat fish but I do like other fishing too striper fishing and bass fishing with those rattling craw dad's, the bass nail them sucker's lol
Enjoy your videos! Keep it up bro!
Lots of baits to be use for catfish, believe it or not cheese works , roll it on your hook like a dough ball. 😮😊
Dave if you get a thermacel you will never worry about mosquitos again.
Flathead September must be a rough month😂
The goat. The GOAT.🤘💯🧡🤍
Great catch
Like Babe Ruth. You called your shot.
That’s the same place you were holding that Hellcat when it broke.
Doctor? Did you give someone your Wooflu? Nice hairdo brother. With a melon that big, just be glad they don't charge by the square foot. 😉
❤❤❤❤❤
Dave is going to hook the biggest catfish of his life and the leader is going to break because he's to bull headed to change it
He fishes for 70+ fish his line is good
What's it cost fornteenblicbplease in ky
Not upset for the darker rod, maybe spray a little reflective paint or some tape on the tip just incase.
Basically solid muscle 💪💯 the fish Dave not you❤😂
Boats allowed to move that fast at night in TN?
Nice! What rod/reel/pound test do you use? Im trying to buy a new setup myself.
I heard from a premier catfisherman one time that the BEST time to catfish is deer season!! Can you belee dat??
Thanks for the Flathead video, Dave amnd for keeping my fishing fever up! You are truly a Master Catfisherman. I have always heard true catfishermen never brush their teeth or change their socks, was wondering what your thoughts or anybody else's would be on this subject. Flatheads are King!
And they only eat at the waffle house
Lol
Nice fish. Been tuff yr for me
Toughest freekin rods aren’t so tough it looks like
Maybe try some reflective or glow in the dark paint on the rods !
Dave was wondering, how much you pay that dog to be in your videos.
Dagblasted union rates and night shift also.
I can't believe someone broke a catfish rod. These things are indestructible today. I guess its about technique.
Where it broke I suspect a closing door or a tailgate issue
Flathead Catfish Dave!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!
What rod was that the signature 3?
Just in case no one else has already thought of it.... "the notorious CFD"
Nice fish! Stay on em man
You audio was very low Dave.
Do you have any older Rods you would want to sell? Like ugly sticks or St. Croiux or Nite Sticks ?
Dave great flathead going night fishing tomorrow cut bait tomorrow night
Get on them Flathead Dave
Use goldfish, shad, love perch, live carp….trot or limb lines
The name of your next song should be "dinky blue, wants to chew".
I use a red light at night bugs don't swarm it. Don't know how it would turn out on video though
It works at night for whore houses.
If you don't mind
Respect
Come on dave need a catfix
shoot dave, i'ld be clipping those keys down, my luck is they fall out
Reflector tape on your dark rod, will show at night
At 2 people unfriending you per flathead, by end of September you can pretty much do whatever you want with no Karen’s complaining
Never grab your rod close to the tip it just might break lol
Don’t grab the rod up close to the tip and pick up a fish. As you can tell, it is a good way to break a rod.😢
U ight
Dave you realize that the dogs are barking at you because you are talking
100K Dave
95.1K dave
Hello People
And dagblasted dogs
Please dave buy a new boat seat.
Thought you were going to say the Dr. cut your hair. ; )
I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!! SPEND SOME MONEY AND GET YOU A MIKE
???… I heard every word, no problem. And, my ears are 67 years old, and have spent decades standing right in front of guitar amps. Maybe it’s you that needs to spend some money for an ear exam? Not trying to be mean, just telling the truth.
Too bad about your pole.
He'll go to the third shift waitress at the waffle house. She can fix a broken pole.
Muff man
That must have been a cheap rod or a rod with a flaw in it to break at the tip like that.
WTH Dave? Go fishing!
Dave, Nightime is the right time for Flatheads. God Bless
