He is a great fisherman of catfish. But he is also clever, entertaining and smart when it comes to video making. This "Master Baiter" video is just one more example of his many talents.

One of the many characteristics that make Dave an entertainment genius Is how he can say something jaw dropping hilarious and know it, and not even hint at cracking up 😂😂😂

6 inches short Using a stiffer rod and you’re a master Baiter Hell of a combination

Dave, "don't be a hater cause I'm a Master Baiter" LOL nowadays they need to be taught. God Bless

Best master baiting video on KZfaq.

It takes skill to become a master baiter, because you never know until you throw!🎣🎣🎣💪💪💪

I thought we all were Master Baiters until we got married!!! Great video Catfish Dave!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Dave the bait catch, you are the master, your big fish make us happy and you give us much laughter. Canadian angler

The tutorial on the trolling motor was very good!

I watch most of your videos. I clicked on this one fast as hell!! LOL

I’ve enjoyed all your videos….thank u for doing all the extra work evolved to bring us along… well done sir, well done indeed!!

This video is so great, I came at 1:24 without hands!

Yeah, it can be tough sledding at times, but I've found that the more master baiting that you do, the better you become at it.

That's a nice raincoat Dave 👍 that'll keep you warm on those cold days

Anyone else see that fish he missed right at the boat at around 16:05 right before he was about to recast

You were talking in the beginning and the fish were hitting behind you, where you ended up catching your bait. Funny.

Thanks for the tutorial on how to set up the Minn Kota . I haven’t messed with my ulterra enough to figure it out .

Great insight gotta keep trying switching it up I used to fish all day some times to get flat head bait but I wasn't switching it up great video

good job !!! love your yeti seat master baiter !!!

Welcome everyone to the Best catfish channel on KZfaq

Hey Dave , I took the kayak out yesterday and put in at the ramp at Lenoir City Park . They where bustin top all day !!! Specially around 8:00 a.m. I got 2 by accident throwing a nose hooked 3 inch fluke - Bass fishing . I've never seen Jack's so aggressive !!!

Dave I just want to thank you for the skipjack thursday. I met You in Tennessee in Chattanooga on the river. You said we were fishing your hole. LOL. We never got the big boy(got soaked by rain) we missed a couple that were really really good fish don't know what size but really good we got several in the 30 lb range and one in the 40 lb range it was a weird bite three nights straight. I watch your videos for a while now but after I met you in person you seem like the kind of guy I would like to hang out with totally different than what I thought you were thanks for the bait man and good luck P.S. They seemed to preffer live bream all 3 nights,flats and blues.(caught 3 flats)

Awesome job buddy great video

King Daddy Master Baiter!!! LOL Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!

Oh baby as soon as I saw the title I clicked

Its like having talent you have to like what you do plus you have to persevere keep up the good work

Thank Dave I learns how to catch skip jack tactic 👍👍👍😎

I knew this title was coming and why shouldn't it. Dave is a master of what he does. 😂

Always fun to watch

Nice video Dave

Always learn something new to catch bait and/or cats from Dave. Keep it simple, fish where there is water🙂 and get a boat. nother good video man. Txs

I bought four... Two Egg shaped and Two Popper Shaped just as soon as I saw Dave's first Popper Video.... And Foley spoons too.

That would be a good song title for your album!

Great video buddy

That reminds me of the old joke. ME: Know where you can get a job..... YOU: Where ? ME: The boat dock. Start out as a hook baiter. If you do good , in time , work your way up to MASTER BAITER !!😂

Love these videos 👍👍🐋🐋🐠🐠

awesome video dave (bighook clearlake)

7:47 I slay crappie with those Bobby Garlands.

In Ca we use Mackerel it works eve where I’ve fished Catfish with Bite-On Cajon fish attractant Blues Flats and Channel cats

I have faith in you get a nice catfish

There's a lot of lure manufacturers, tsunami, strike King, savage gear, many more that sell popper lures for striper fishing. They resemble a feeding skipjack alot more than that chartreuse thingy. About the same price as that popper. Take the trebbles off tie a leader on. Send it.

Nice size Herring !

When you’re right, you’re right !

The Tackle Room in Morehead City, NC has the exact same popping cork as you do for $5.69 each. And they are in stock.

I don't know anything about skipjack other than they're really similar to hickory shad. But from what I'm seeing on these catfish vids from the Tennessee river system, there might not be any left in 20yrs the way everyone keeps them all. At least throw a 10 fish limit on em.

You make me smile and laugh

My next boat will definitely have spot lock and I-pilot👍🏼

I believe you have just come up with your boat name Dave! The Master Baiter

Great videos Dave. If you can try and do a day of fishing with nothing but 2 pound and bigger baits. Dink season is over. It’s time to reel in the big boys

Something is hammering some bait up under those pine trees at 1:28

Come to Fayetteville Nc I would love to meet you

Got me wanting to go to my lake a drag up a 5 pound channel cat 😂

The title hooked me in

I went to sea as a bait boy.....three years, 7 months and 3 days later....I too was the same as U........scratching for gas money...LOL !!

U go dave

I wish to be a master baiter like Dave one day 😳

certified master baiter

I use my depth finder to find shad schools. I never looked for fish I always looked for bait. When you find the shad you find the other fish you're looking for.

Lesson one. Never give up. Something will work just find it.

you'al have so many catfish and bait of choice, you catch them fish even whrn the weather is moist!

The master baiter has struck again

looks like you fixed the seat issue !!

If it swims Catfish Dave can "conjure em" up, for a fact. You know some folks THINK they are as good and only show catches where they fish top areas, CATFISH DAVE FISHES some tough waters and STILL brings in gooduns. He is the PROFESSOR OF CATFISHOLOGY.

Men of culture we all gather here today for the same purpose

You and Steve Douglas should make a collaboration video ..My two favorite youtubers in one video 😀

I’ve been a master baiter fer a long time and didn’t even know it…😂🤣

Master baiter has a shorter and stiffer rod today. Don’t feel bad, everyone eventually has that issue sometimes.

Beard looks good on you Dave

Good Vid

Dave looks like a young Kenny Rogers.

What's up with Cherokee and Douglas lakes? No good catfish?

This title I the name of a boat I drive past every day I'm in Nashville

Did the seat mount finally break?

The early Baiter gets the worm.

How does proper vegetation in a body of water determines quantities of bait fish

Jack of all trades

Hahahahaha!! You are so funny!!

Second creek every afternoon around 4-5 pm

Looks like some good bass were schooling over by that bank

Good one Mister Baites. Two flies and a spoon don't pass the smell test eh??

I knew we had something in common.

we got herring when i was growing up they was big as them skip jack but guys ride for hours to come here catch bait every night now they all size of shad that not even joking..them skip jack eats all the baby catfish is a big problem in lakes

Perfect

Thanks

Ever try that cheese for skip jacks

How long does it take to become a master baiter?

3:17 "You need to become a master baiter"... While his hand is moving back and forth down there...

Can you get skipjack in a cast net

Funny how that 4-6" can make such a difference in a rod. I have 2-3 "custom" lengths. Lol, always the expensive ones.

All I have to say is MasterBaiter and Morehead City were mentioned in these comments!! Lol

Bad bad man! 😂

One cannot master the ways of the kitty unless you first master the ways of the bait.

Time to make up with the cougar. Lol

Go Dawgs!

I like the damn I don't have much time to case them well unless I wanna loss catfishing time. I was catching them on 4 in grubs lastime people where poking a little fun for a minute but 10 minutes after I switched I had all I needed lol

The title cracks me up 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You are a official “Master Baiter” Dave! Woooooo! Of course I always heard that stuff would cause you to go blind too! Oops, wrong thing! Hahaha!

I remember you bank fished that cove>>>right??

Good evening

So you didn't skip jackin this trip?
