Never tried this writing a message before, but I wanted to say that I watched your 4 hour program the other night and I really enjoyed it. I want to thank you for an enjoyable evening watching you fish.
Kudos for clearing the crap lines out of the river Dave. All of the debris shows it was abandoned. Good riddance! You made the river a better place today!
Yeah remember those old circle hook shore fishing videos with your famous 15 foot backward running hook sets. I've learned a lot from you over the years, thanks for the great videos and keep it up
I started fishing for catfish recently came across your videos really loved the content and man you're a good fisherman thanks for getting me started in this outstanding game
Hey Dave, I fish strictly the Mississippi. I have had very good success using Apex Predator circle hooks. I get them from Amazon. Give those a try. Long time subscriber. I enjoy your videos. Ron Evans Zachary, Louisiana.
DAVE ! ITS BEEN TO LONG MAN ! I HAVE BEEN SO BUSY WITH LIFE ! LOL I have been subscribed since back in 2016 , I miss coming around an watching! Glad to see your channel blowing up man , your very entertaining an catch them biguns
Thank you for removing that crap line. Can't tell you how many times I've been caught up on something like that. Two years ago I pulled one out from shore, it had 48 hooks on it and was still baited up. I cut it into 3 foot sections, removed all the hooks and left it on a big rock. Hope whoever strung it out found it. I bet they were not happy with me.
Now here in South Carolina theres local farms and some relatives with watermelon. It's like a local garden tomato compared to a greenhouse tomato that has been in and out of refrigeration and like leather.
Back in the 60s at Bull Shoals Lake 2 fisherman died when they got hooked and pulled down by the trot lines they were running or robbing. Be careful! Damn net almost knocked you out with the motor at full throttle 😞
I started using Gamakatsu 7/0 Octopus hooks because the live bait stays on great. In Michigan, 7/0 is plenty & it's about the same as the Gamakatsu 8/0 Circles.
If you leave a trotline and it gets traced back to the owner in Texas the department of fish and game can really lay it to you! I truly despise people who leave their crap in our puplic waters! I thank you for taking the time to get as much of it out of the water as you could!
Hats off Catfish Dave!! No one to police the trot line issues other than the people who put them out. I'm not apposed to trot lines that are properly marked and maintained. Personally they should require a training course and annual refresher at the cost of the fisherman to be able to run them. This would weed out some of the nonsense going on. We also need others who see fishermen setting these lines improperly to report them. We must police our own waters if we won't to keep them in better shape. After all that time and effort cleaning up the abomination you did. Then get pegged in the head with your net. That just isn't right!!! Hang in there buddy!
Yes Dave, pulling that sH!Te outta the water might kill a fishing video or does it? I say doing the right thing & Not dropping that mess back in was the only thing to do. Even if it was the end of your fishing trip. Really you did the only thing you could do & I for one am glad you did. The people who did this deserve to be ticketed & fined but they won't, at least you pulled it out ! KUDO's for that !
Evan Williams *Peach* bourbon and paying attention to the details of your vid makes me appreciate what you have gone through. It's a damn addiction for sure but sure is worth it to know that we're among friends who enjoyably suffer from the same addiction. BTW Evan knew some shit on distilling
u been showing up my feed again . The last 4 new videos have been in my feed so you must be doing something right with the algorithm .. you wasn't in my feed for months
The answer to your question is... They DON'T allow that crap ! In this State, by law, trotlines MUST be visibly marked (bouy or floatation devices), tagged, and can NOT run crossways of the current or otherwise crossways of the stream or river.
Back in the day, you didn't have all the pesticides sprayed on the watermelons. But it wouldn't be a Catfish Dave show without you complaining about something. 😮😮😮😮😮😮
I complain in every video because it draws other complainers to comment and complain about me complaining. Boosts the algorithm. The world being full of hypocrites is one way I boost my channel and earn income
Pay pond owners in the Ohio River valley buy them to stock the ponds people pay to fish in. Basically, those big 45 to 100+lb fish. 30 yrs old or older make it about 6 to 9 months in those ponds before they die. Then replaced.
U need to save this video and go show it to every wildlife and fish person in the state of Tennessee u can come in contact with let along with the surrounding states that was ridiculous the mess those trotlines cause that crap should be banned
Yes. I do agree. Come to Minnesota and you have so many rules. Catch limits to learn for the next lake you want to try. Advice on how many fish you should eat, due to the poison in the fish.
Well, you dragged up a nice, purty flathead and a blue anyone would want their picture with. Did you see that reentry? I give it a 9.6. lol Perhaps the best part is you cleaned up some bs trash that doesn't need to be there and sounds like maybe you got some "fresh" bs trash and I thank you for that. Some poor fishing lake owner might be devastated.
Catfish Dave How many views did u get from your great, interesting, exciting 4 hour video ? And it's the holiday season , are you going to do Santa Claus hoe 2?
A big THANK YOU for picking up all that mess someone else left you,

Dave is a solid citizen!
Love seeing flathead caught. They're the bull dogs of the catfish!
SALUTE! For always being who you are and sharing your time on the water with us.

Great video! Great citizen! Thanks Dave!
Your videos are the best on the net. Thank you so much.
The return of boat fish is a sick episode bro
Between the hang up on garbage in the river and banging your head with the landing net you had a challenging day!
Good on you Dave.
Way to go Dave, with all the problems and pull out a good 1 in the end
Now here in South Carolina theres local farms and some relatives with watermelon. It's like a local garden tomato compared to a greenhouse tomato that has been in and out of refrigeration and like leather.
GREAT THUMBNAIL 😊😊
Not quite the point person's mentality of HL&C but shows you can trot line on a moments notice- love the content as usual ...keep it up big guy...
Back in the 60s at Bull Shoals Lake 2 fisherman died when they got hooked and pulled down by the trot lines they were running or robbing. Be careful! Damn net almost knocked you out with the motor at full throttle 😞
Pulls up 100 pounds of old trot line and rocks,,,,,,doesnt retie the knot. Epic Real Fishing!
Your a good man for pulling all that crap up! Appreciate it man! Looks like a great trip 😅
The good, the Bad and the Angry episode. All in 30 minutes. ;}
I started using Gamakatsu 7/0 Octopus hooks because the live bait stays on great. In Michigan, 7/0 is plenty & it's about the same as the Gamakatsu 8/0 Circles.
OMG......For a minute there I thought you found Jimmy Hoffa!!!😮
Keep up the work Dave
I fish the chattanooga area and get disgusted by the garbage some folks leave. Hope to run in to u sometime dave.
If you fish with live bait, you don't need to be concerned if they want a head or a chunk. Lol
thanks for cleaning up the river! My grandson and I always pick up trash.
we're do you think the first watermelon seed come from David?? Jesus loves you my brother good job today .. love ya brother happy fishing
roger that catfish Dave signing out ! ...........WOOOOOOO
Pull every illegal trot line you find.😮
I was curious if switching the position of your boards has helped to not get tangled.
Haven't bought a watermelon in years. Thank for the watermelon advice.
They should ban those for fisherman to use. Thanks for getting it out buddy.
Hi Dave! Love your videos. Where is the best place to shore fish within 25 miles of Gatlinburg?
Yeehaw music 🎶
Gotta be a good time when the music breaks out!!!!!!
If you leave a trotline and it gets traced back to the owner in Texas the department of fish and game can really lay it to you! I truly despise people who leave their crap in our puplic waters! I thank you for taking the time to get as much of it out of the water as you could!

Spencer's low flow on the river but there's flow at the dams do you consider damn fishing or is the fish any size just asking
Thanks for taking us along! Tight lines!
Yes Dave, pulling that sH!Te outta the water might kill a fishing video or does it? I say doing the right thing & Not dropping that
mess back in was the only thing to do. Even if it was the end of your fishing trip. Really you did the only thing you could do & I
for one am glad you did. The people who did this deserve to be ticketed & fined but they won't, at least you pulled it out !
KUDO's for that !
Those are some tough rods!!!
Evan Williams *Peach* bourbon and paying attention to the details of your vid makes me appreciate what you have gone through. It's a damn addiction for sure but sure is worth it to know that we're among friends who enjoyably suffer from the same addiction. BTW Evan knew some shit on distilling
You should put a float on your phone,they must sell something.
Even Catfish Dave can fish a spot he hasn't fished before.
If it makes you feel better the last trot line I got hung on was about 4 feet out the water.
That song is funky/never gets old
Thanks Dave, sorry about the possible concussion
Big Flatheads eat at 3:30 AM in Michigan.
The boars head plant has been shut here in Virginia
Nice work getting that junk out of the river 👍
I’ve never bought a watermelon in my life. I will just drink a water.
Got to watch out for Bio engineered food's
What rod is that pretty dang tuff. Was thinking that thing is going to break but never did.
Hi, do you eat fish or just catch them for the sport?
I know Dave ,it is sad when people just leave a mess for someone else to clean up
u been showing up my feed again . The last 4 new videos have been in my feed so you must be doing something right with the algorithm .. you wasn't in my feed for months
The adventure continues ! Catfish Dave eats a Boars head sandwich. Try telling me catfishing videos are not exciting.
Catfish Hero is Back!!!
Boss
The answer to your question is... They DON'T allow that crap !
In this State, by law, trotlines MUST be visibly marked (bouy or floatation devices), tagged, and can NOT run crossways of the current or otherwise crossways of the stream or river.
Dave, sadly. I have done what you had to do many times.
What type of fishing line and what type of knot do you use?
I would be afraid to eat those fish.
Hey what type of rod and reel are you using,? Thank you
Are you at Wheeler lake in Alabama because it sure looks like it
Now is a good time for four hours of a pretty girl helping you wash all the crap out of your boat.
if it ain't broken and it's working don't change it that what my daddy always said 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Back in the day, you didn't have all the pesticides sprayed on the watermelons. But it wouldn't be a Catfish Dave show without you complaining about something. 😮😮😮😮😮😮

Wow, honesty!
@@catfishdave8192thanks. I knew you were a hard working business man . Got some smarts also. Proven.
Why would someone have a trotline in a body of water where you can't eat the fish ?
They don't eat the fish. They sell the fish for you to eat.😮
Pay pond owners in the Ohio River valley buy them to stock the ponds people pay to fish in. Basically, those big 45 to 100+lb fish. 30 yrs old or older make it about 6 to 9 months in those ponds before they die. Then replaced.
Why can’t you eat the fish? Is the water polluted?
@jimwells7778 An individual can eat fish from anywhere they choose. As a commercial food source level tho it's not allowed in most fresh water sources
U need to save this video and go show it to every wildlife and fish person in the state of Tennessee u can come in contact with let along with the surrounding states that was ridiculous the mess those trotlines cause that crap should be banned
Yes. I do agree. Come to Minnesota and you have so many rules. Catch limits to learn for the next lake you want to try. Advice on how many fish you should eat, due to the poison in the fish.
Deal with unmarked trot lines and commercial nets constantly over here
Dam pay lake net I bet
Hooked a car battery.
Is it in Oklahoma
Clean that dang boat
Well, you dragged up a nice, purty flathead and a blue anyone would want their picture with. Did you see that reentry? I give it a 9.6. lol

That one is 10 feet 2 inches

How many views did u get from your great, interesting, exciting 4 hour video ? And it's the holiday season , are you going to do Santa Claus hoe 2?
