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.
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.
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.
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.
Yup.... I'm thinkin we got us a bullshitter takin us fishin.... That's the old powerhouse from the dam that was there... Took from 1905 to 1913 to build that dam...
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.
Your video are always awesome Dave you are "the Legend" catfish Dave love to see videos pop up keep them coming!! God Bless love the bluegrass music you know it's going to be a nice one. Hahaha
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!
well man I haven't been watching your channel for awhile;;;;;I be back though;;;finally got laptop replacement;;;lol;;;so we have a bit of catching up to do;;;as always fish in the boat;;;thumbs up and keep on fishing
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
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 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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
Steve douglas made a vid in that exact same spot with the old bridge debris almost a yr ago and lost a couple of huge fish and caught another big one. You were in nearly my backyard.
There was an old blue bridge that was torn down several yrs back and the remains were scattered all thru where you were fishing. The very deep part is the main orig channel of the river from before tva backed it up for nickajack dam. Hales bar was a hindrance the whole time it was up and running bc it leaked continuously. Thats why nickajack dam was built
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.
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
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!
Dang it Dave! I'm a catfisherman but they surely would have had me bass fishing the whole time in that prison.
Dave you are Makin your videos better as you go. Lots of info makes it real profesional
They showed a guy it Texas last month caught a 62 lb fish and said it was a new record in Texas. it was a lite weight to ones you catch all the time,
That weren't never no prison... That's the old powerhouse remains from when the dam was there...

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

Im glad to see someone else was hoping he was joking about it being a prison.
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.
@@jimmywilson1388 didn’t say anything about the no wake. Was speaking on him saying that was an old prison
Yup.... I'm thinkin we got us a bullshitter takin us fishin.... That's the old powerhouse from the dam that was there... Took from 1905 to 1913 to build that dam...
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
Bro another great video! Congratulations on catching some nice Blues! Thanks for all your info! Your fan from north Alabama ghenley35
Another amazing trip. Thank’s for taking us along.
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.

Come fish in Michigan. It's cloudy most of the time with bridges that block out the sun. When only a Flathead will do.
Ooooooo weeee! That last one was a sho-nuff hog! 😊
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
That thumbnail is awesome
Nice fish, great music
Love You Catfish Dave!!
Master class! Catfish Dave 🎣
That was a great video thanks
Amazing as always Dave. ❤
Another classic!
Love the sound of those bikes. I'm a bike rider myself but I really enjoy fishing.
Were those big old good ones or good old big ones? Great catch!
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.
Yes Sir!! Killing it 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.
I thought for sure you were going to say “if they weren’t good, they would be bait!”
Enjoyed that, thanks CD
I starting to think you might be a pretty good catfisherman 🧐
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
I live in Monroe County Dave... I'd love to fish with you one day!!!
"make them bass fish" rofl:)
😂😂
Big Dave with a big cat
Just this trip alone... I see 3 cats way over 20 lbs ! That's beyond rare here !
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.
Undisputed heavyweight champion of the catfish world 🌎
The algorithm ate this one up. Congrats Dave!
That was a lot of fun. Great trip.
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
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 got to have my sunglasses on the water or id be crying all day
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.
You da man Dave. Not even close
That’s not a prison…..it’s the Hales Bar Dam
I'm not sure there's anyone else on TH-cam pulling consistent giants like catfish Dave.
Dave did it again 💪
It was catfish in this video, this is indeed a fishing video 🔥 20:22
Good haul man! 🎉
Thanks Dave!
Gettem Dave 💪💪💪
The wooooooh is back today!!!!
You need to convert a guitar string wonder to put on a drill do you can wind those reels up faster
Catfish Dave 100K💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Nickajack is one of the best BIG CAT lakes in tenn
Hmmm curious where your getting your information about the “prison” over there. Retired tenn. DOC!
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.
nice video dave!
Appreciate the video Mr Dave😊
I seen an episode of ghost adventures shot at that place. Some creepy stuff goes on in there 😱
Hales Bar Dam very very haunted place
The old lock part of the dam was used after the dam was closed to load coal barge's for Tennessee consolidated coal company
Would like to hear the history of the prison.
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.
Dave you are a catfishing gangster!
THANKS!
I could see good no problem great video
Exactly what I thought
Nice video!
Good video and thank you much.
Another great video.
Do you fish the Yadkin River chain of lakes for Flatheads?
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
We need more stories....nice jab at bass fishermen..😅
Steve douglas made a vid in that exact same spot with the old bridge debris almost a yr ago and lost a couple of huge fish and caught another big one. You were in nearly my backyard.

If you watch next weeks video you'll see even bigger fish that I caught there
Cant wait man!!! Love the vids!
Reuben's Train=Big Fish!!
One of your best vids
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.
I am watching from Elmira NY o don't believe the old prison is haunted the word of God says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord
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
Use your scale and let us know how big they are!
Dont worry about the sun to much , your all good
Hails bar is a haunted power house
Dave what are you charging to go out with you one day?
