I still think it’s amazing that when you reel in those fish, there is so much “stuff” on the end of your line including the fish it looks like your reeling in a fully decorated Christmas tree!!

Ok Dave, I love it when you catch bait. When you lift it in the boat, you look at the camera with a dead stare, nod your head like your telling the audience “it’s on now people😂😂😂”

Catching "bait" is as important as cat fishing itself in my book. Can't have one without the other. Rods of choice are always best, different application, conditions, fishing methods, all come into play. Thanks again Dave!!!

That's a true catfisherman peanut butter sandwich with catfish slime good LOL

After he releases a fish they go and buy a T-shirt that says I've been caught by catfish Dave

Beautiful cat and I see your tree are turning to thanks for getting that string and hook out of that fish 👍😊

Whooohooo. You living on the edge Dave. 2 peanut butter sandwiches in one outing. Whooohooo!

5/5/23. Put a slice of that cheese on that peanut butter sandwich!! Yummy!

Thank you for the video Dave, always enjoy them.

I would love to see you do a madkatz vs slimecat, madkatz vs TFR, and/or madkats vs whisker seeker rods.

Great video Dave thanks

Enjoy your channel man

WOW! You have a lot of confidence in those rod holders. Carry-on.

always liked team catfish I swear by their double action circle hooks. I fuckin love those things

thank you for your honesty - you are the best

I have two medium heavy thundercat rods. And one medium action thundercat rod two-piece. I totally agree with your video good rods

I believe what came off that fish was some type of a fast snap, makes it quick to switch rigs instead of tying a knot when you switch.

Another great video Dave nice fish

Just can't get away from those "Dag blasted Dogs"

Enjoyed the video. Thanks

You have a lot more experience than I do. Like 20 years more but idk if I agree with the stiff rod for suspending. I use two tangling with catfish medium action rods and suspend all the time without problems. We don’t have blues in this area and flatheads can be tuff so I like the bend so I can Atleast have fun with the channel cats.

I do love to watch you catch catfish...woooo!

Cant wait to see the Ecat rods in action

Dang man nice fish

🤗early CFD!!! Way to start a day !!! 😎 ✌️🤙

Man Dave that’s a monster

your need to let us see you retrieve your sandwich bag, just don't let it go, I know it is a pain to do.

I use the tangling with catfish whisker whip rods lots of back bone but still pliable.. I use nothing but the team catfish gold ring 400 bait caster reels.. but I won’t use rods that have snap in or “inserted” rod guides it has to be a solid one piece construction guide.

With Mad Katz even when I'm not doing great on the fish I'm looking great. lol. Switched all my rods over to MK. More variety in actions and colors too. 28:20 sweet baby jesus that's an awesome catch

"Probably got some small fish hung up on it", and holds up a 5 pounder! Go Dave.

The CRACKS IN THE EPOXY CAN EASILY BE FIXED WITH THE THIN SUPER GLUE. DOUSE THE WRAPS A THE CRACKS DISAPPEAR. I’ve done it with several rods.

I like my TWC Ext rods. They do everything I need in the Ohio and Taylorsville.

Tempress is who makes your seat, you can get a replacement cover online.

I messaged you. I believe that green line was one my medium setups I used about a week ago at Lenoir City Park.

Here's the thing about equipment. It ain't the equipment that catches the fish. It's KNOWING the equipment that helps catch the fish. I was on an emergency trip to visit my brother in the hospital in upstate SC. It turned out okay. On the way home, I went to visit my uncle, 30 miles away from my favorite trout fishing river in N. GA. I didn't have my trout rod. I stopped at a Walmart and bought a $16 ultra light combo with 4lb mono, then proceeded to the West Fork river and caught my limit. So what, you say. I say, "It ain't the gear that catches the fish, it's the fisherman that catches the fish." Later, I fished with that same rod/reel combo on the Cumberland river near Burkesville, KY and caught a 5 lb rainbow. My point is, you have to know the limits of your gear and compensate for its deficiencies and take advantage of its qualities. Gear don't catch fish. Fishermen catch fish. I'd say Dave could catch fish on a splayed cane pole, 'cause quite simply, he knows how to catch fish.

Yellow jacket slayer. I envy you I too want to be fishing. Be safe.

Mornin Dave.. first to see the video.. fish on bro!!

Ok so this is kinda like the stan potts show but fishing haha love u Dave

Took a look at those Team Catfish rods, I think I like the 8' heavy casting rod. Looks like they use aluminum reel seats on those, which I like. Been looking at Mad Catz, but I like what you had to say about the Team Catfish rods.

I've got a "pro cat" 7' solid fiberglass snagging rod from Academy, it's got more balls than a Saturday golf course and cost $35 but it is not flexible enough really for anything but suspended use. I love it for flatheads though

I dream of using tackle like you use. I know I can never afford somethings but it doesn't stop my ol tiger poles from Walmart. Only have 2 left broke a lot this year

Today’s rods are all alike. What sets mad kats apart from the others is their variety of colors. That’s it

THANKS!

Dagblasted guy keeps wooooing in the video

Love my Ugly stick

Dave, love your channel. You’re the best! When was the last time someone sat on that couch that’s visible in your monologue segments?

Check out the Shimano tallus px boat road or Daiwa proteus boat rods.

Are you gonna try the B&M silver cat elite rod in your rod line up because I can say it don't disappoint

Can you still get the Jim Moyer rods? Those are sorta similar to the Berkley E-Cat but they have more backbone, more pulling power, Catfish Connection used to sell them but I don't know if you can still get any of them, or if anyone has any left? BPS used to have a similar rod to the Jim Moyer, I don't remember what their called but my son used to have a couple of them, back in the late 90's and he's pulled in some toads with them. Phil King used to use or helped develop the King Kat rods for Cabela's, they were a decent rod but had too short of a handle for me, but they were nice. I don't know Dave, just thinking of some older rods from back in the 90's when I was going after the Hawgs pretty good!

Go Dawgs!

Nice boat

I like the newer team cat rods compared to the old ones

Catfish Dave is gonna spend some more of that moldy Subway money on a few new fishing rods.

B&M silvercat elites kinda ballsy

Look into the fishing tackle unlimited rod blanks from houston or the jawbone rod blanks from corpus

That white rod has a lot more spine than the other two.

Peanut butter honey

20:00 WELCOME TO MOTTER'S MONSTER'S FAMILY CATFISH DAVE I AM THE PLACER OF THE YELLOW TIE 🎣🎣

👍👍👍👍🎣

I like my E glass rods

Team Catfish will never get my money again after the Secret 7 ... I ordered 6 tubs and they were obvious not what it had been; absolute junk. You got my money... hope you got rich off it

I have noticed that I catch a lot more fish on the slower action rods for some reason. Regardless of the power… I don’t get it but it’s like the catfish know something.

even mad katz is too stiff for me. I would probably use your skipjack rod : )

the other feller that uses a kayak gets electric bicycles to use you think they will send you some bicykles to play with, they took the dog sounds out of the movies and put moring dove sounds in them.

Hey Dave, been watching your videos for a while now, first time commenting. Question sir. I see you are using Penn reels. Just curious which ones you use? I am a long time Penn fan, got my first MadKatz MH, and I put a Penn Fathom 2 50LW on it. Just curious if you used one and if so, your thoughts on them?

I’ve been using the Hellcats. What are your thoughts on them? So far, I love them!

Do slime cats vs mad catz

Dag blasted yellow jacket trying to ruin my fishing video lol. Dave have you ever tried the bill dance quantum catfish rods? I've heard they are pretty decent rods

We were in the smokeys all last week and never saw you, even at the bass pro shop, what were you doing FISHING FOR CATS?

Did you get a new camera video quality looks better

I hope you picked the sandwich bag up out of the lake

How do you get the peanut butter sandwich to stay on the hook 🪝 🤔 😋

What happened to the new team catfish rods, dont see you use them

silver or white spoon?

Dave, If we won something, please give it to another subscriber. We had lots of problems with Telegram. Thanks Anyway! Bank fishin' soon I bet, so's you can keep warm in the truck.😁

When are you coming to weis lake cedar bluff alabama

I gave my old Boss Hogg to the Old lady. It was way too stiff and not enough flex. Giggity..

1st try heating that rod tip with a lighter lot of tips are water proof hot glued on. Reset that glue.

Most of these guys buy rods like women buy shoes. Cause they look pretty

algorithm

You take pepel out on your videos as a gide .iwhould like to be the first.

64lbs.

Maybe you can have a rod give away

Don’t think those fish are hook shy at all

Algorithms. If you are reading this on Monday GO VOTE ON TUESDAY !!!!!!!

If u wanna ride, dont ride the white horse!

Dave when people see all the rods you own, I do, but goffer can have all the, what ever they call them, we are crazy, because most people say all you need is one rod and reel to catch fish,, yes as as I've always said you can not take stupid out of people, just quit putting all the warning labels on everything,,

I totally think you are as wrong as a three dollar bill comparing madkatz rods with team catfish broom sticks your using there. You can hype up team catfish rods if you want. But let me tell you this..I use uglystiks, madkatz, and meat hunter rods. I also do a lot of shore fishing from thr river bank and not fishing from a boat. From my experience from my years of fishing, a stiff rod like that team catfish rod is not the best rod for shore fishing, period. A rod that is too stiff results in a lot of missed fish because you cannot detect bites like you would with a rod with a stiffer tip section. All my missed fish comes from operator head space and timing. Not necessarily the rod or the action of the rod. Rod length plays a huge part in casting distance as does the rod and reel. You would not want to cast with a team catfish rod there because the action of the rod would cause the bait to be flung off during your cast. And you do not want too soft of a rod because when it comes time to horse the fish from cover or set the hook at long distances, you just do not have the power. As for suspend fishing..well the rod comparison you just did just showed me that you do not need to pay team catfish $99.00 for one of their ugly rods. Just go get yourself a broom stick , glue some guides on it and tape your reel to the rod and your off to the races.

I don't care for mad Kats at all

Lemay here it's been a while but I'm back way to go DAVE
