Your the man catfish Dave. The frustration you have with stuff is absolutely hilarious. Looked like a good trip regardless of the struggle. Just remember if it was easy. Everyone would do it. 💪🏼
Well you are on my home waters. You are below where the Ohio and the Mississippi rivers combine. We have cat fish. If I had known you were coming I would have baked a cake. So grab some sweet tea and fried green tomatoes and enjoy the fishing. From Paducah.
Dave ,,a hummingbird will shut off on its own when voltage drops below 11 volts ,,which means you need to charge your battery with a different charger because the one your using is not working
@@cablrus1885 he better hope he don’t get one of those garmins ,,he will need to go to college to understand those ,,they are not meant for the average fisherman
I run Garmin units and they are simple to use. But I do agree about the voltage all units will shut down. Clean power and dedicated power with todays units.
@@bobbygreen2291 I hope they get it resolved. I have the 93SV and they run great. I do not have live scope, it does not seem like it would be beneficial for cat fishing. Enjoy your weekend sir!
Been following you for a piece sir. It's been a pleasure watching you get it done in many different systems and environments. I gotta say I do miss your shore videos. I'll follow you as long as you're willing to post some content. I appreciate you bringing us along with you.
Nice video man love it just started following you. Makes me think of my dad he caught some big catfish, when I was growing up. Me and my two brothers spent hours on top of hours skinning fish. He was a commercial fishermen. God bless you! Your friend from Tennessee 👍
Hello Dave... Thank you for sharing your fishing adventures with us.. I hope you get your Fish Finder gremlins figured out soon and your adventures on the waters just keeps getting better and better. Stay safe out there and again, Thank you for sharing it all with us~!
I wish I had known you were fishing one of our spots across from Paducah on the Illinois bank. I would have come by for a photo bomb but I was fishing up river below the Smithland Dam. I live very close to the Mississippi but rarely fish there because we have an unlimited number of places to fish here in the Paducah area
Check you battery terminals and other inline connectors for corrosion. Will cause intermittent power. Just had same issue with my trolling motor. Love the channel.
Crazy that the day after I subscribed to your channel I see you fishing in Wickliffe and you put your boat in at the ramp where I got into the skiff to catch my boat 😁👍 I am a boat captain and pass there regularly
Congrats! I know those days are tough they beat me up sometimes. I’m from western Kentucky area and far as the Ohio river goes; that whole river system is loaded with big cats. You should try it out again sometime.
Come up to Michigan Dave show us some big flatheads in The Kalamazoo River or the Grand River. This could be the year of Dave touring the country!!! :)
I know exactly where you are on the Ohio river. I work in Paducah and live in metropolis just over that bridge in the background. I have always wondered if you would get around this area, and I loved seeing you made it here. Very nice fish man. I love all your videos and enjoy watching them when they pop up. Keep em coming sir!
Hey Dave , Had similar probs with my hummingbird . Battery terminal was just a little loose and dirty. It caused enough voltage drop to behave exactly has yours . Journey well , Ed
My hummingbird units use to power on / shut off of battery voltage was lower than normal For whatever reason they have a built in safety to kick them off if voltage is low. Even when everything else would be working fine , they’d shut off unless the batteries where freshly charged.
Dave I would say Your GPS depth finder must be a good unit. With all the kicking and beating on it You did, and it still kept working ! You just did a durability commercial for them ! hahaha I grew up fishing the stretch of the Ole Muddy, from Moline Illinois down to the Alton Lock and Dam, farther down river ! Way to last the trip out though ! And a tip ! Don't pronounce the S in Illinois, makes You sound like You're from Tennessee !!! hahahaha
Some fine fishing there in the Ohio. Stop by some time around the carthage, Tn area and try out the fishing here. Lot of followers around here,and I think you would enjoy yourself.
You lost that fish in that creek mouth where Chris Riley Fishes at. And for them barges churning the water on that ramp I had to launch Steve Douglas boat there I don't even think I was breathing the whole time when I did it lol
@@jaredklein6927 Just you Jared. You're all by yourself on a tiny island wanting no music. The rest of us want Reuben's Train. Jared is a very, very lonely man.
@@jaredklein6927 Your wrong, it is a big part of the Catfish Dave show and it has been since the beginning of him making fishing videos and it’s who he is. Just turn your volume down and watch.
You fishing around the southern tip of Illinois? I ask as your last video you were on the Ohio river and now the mighty muddy Damn, it's not an old TV, hammering on it will not help...LOL
I used to live in wickiiffe. I fish off of that boat ramp quite often. One of my friends saw you in lacenter. I missed the opportunity due to work. Maybe next time.
Dave I had a Hummingbird go dead for no reason one time and beat it to death with a spud wrench.. I live I owensboro Ky on the Ohio and a guy in my town caught a 109 lb blue down at the Cannelton Dam lock 30 min from Owensboro. Love your show man.
Get you an new depth finder. If you mess something up because yours isn’t working (hit a stump, tree or rock), my guess is it’ll be way more than $1,600. Great video 👍
2 minutes into the video I said to myself “cmon Dave, do a trip on the Ohio River!”……15 minutes later boom…Ohio River! There are some monster flathead in er. Hope you make a multiple day trip and fish it hard soon!
Hello sir I'm a Brit use to live in sevierville and fish the French broad river regularly and I use to soak my catfish baits in makeral oil the night before and the catfish hammered the baits Do you ever use fish oil if not give it try sir
Was kinda wondering if you ever tried the Missouri River in your travels unfortunately I have yet to land one near Kansas City I have a one year old that requires my attention so my fishing is limited
Not a Cat guy but I lived near St, Louis and fished the mighty Mississippi a few times in my 15 ft bass boat. Wing dams everywhere nearly killed me. Missouri was even tougher. Steepest ramp I have ever seen. Stern always in the swift current. Trying to drive the boat on the trailer with the current swinging the stern everywhere was a challenge. I just got it on the back of the trailer and winched it up. Soaking wet from wading to shore. Barges everywhere. Channel narrow but plenty deep. All of the sudden as you work to shore, it is only one foot deep. Engine bogs down. Raise engine, use trolling motor. Then it drops to 15 ft. Engage motor because current is moving boat at high speed toward rock wing dam. Hope motor starts. Then I see the professional Cat guys in their flat bottom boats with stern drive engines and they don't miss a beat. Flying everywhere like it is 50 ft. deep. Never slowing down. Whatever.
The next time you want to fish the Ms River, look at West Helena Arkansas/Clarksdale Ms. You can stay at the Isle of Capri Casino on the Mississippi side. It’s should be a safe place to stay with your boat. Look between the wing dikes for big wash outs that are like lakes on the river.
Dave if you ever want to catch monsters on ohio go to Cannelton dam in Indiana. Section of river between Cannelton dam and Owensboro usually has good fish.
I've said the same thing about river catfish vs reservoir catfish. Another thing, cats in heavy current rivers will never get super gorged and fat in the belly like you see a lot of Tennessee river cats
Catfish Dave if you get a chance use eel for bait on the Mississippi River. Hard to get a hook thru the skin but man the few times we used it they were crazy over it.
We fished from the bank where there were alot of rocks so we used a smaller leader for the weight so when we hung a fish the weight would break off leaving the fish on main line.
Good thing lowrance/humminbird didn’t make your motor or you would have had a real problem. Persistence is key, I’ve had some of my best days fishing just pushing through bs.
Your the man catfish Dave. The frustration you have with stuff is absolutely hilarious.

What a trip you had Dave, But Still managed to catch some really nice fish. Thank you for the video, enjoyed it. Good luck and have FUN !

Never give up,never surrender.Way to go Dave.
Got nervous because I hadn't seen a video in a few days. You're by far the best and most entertaining fisherman out there

Loved the Bluegrass music in your videos of the past. Just food for thought. Keep up the great content. 👍
Talk about some perseverance and determination. That’s a trip you won’t forget any time soon.

Always enjoy your videos Dave you are "THE LEGEND "
Hey Dave ,
Had similar probs with my hummingbird .
Battery terminal was just a little loose and dirty.
It caused enough voltage drop to behave exactly has yours .
Journey well ,
Ed
I enjoy your videos. Glad you made it to Paducah. You found one of my good blue cat spots on the Illinois bank.
ThT big old catfish was worth your effort!!! Nice job Dave!!!
Dave sir I needed this video today. I always get through the work day of misery with your vids

For whatever reason they have a built in safety to kick them off if voltage is low.

i grew up in hannibal mo, fished the mississippi all my childhood years, loved it, but you do have to watch it, it can be dangerous, nice job dave
I just love fishing in the Mississippi River I don't have to leave my couch thanks a lot Dave
Hello Dave,nice videos.I live 7 miles from that Wickliffe ramp.
Hey I don't recall you asking me to fish my river but I'll let it slide this time cause you released all my fish. Excellent video big Dave
Great shows keep up the good work be safe my friend picking and jamin is truly missed
Great video Dave
Cool to see you on the Ohio River Cool video brother peace out from Ohio Don T
I really like that lime green fishing pole 🎣
Hell yea Dave. I love this traveling stuff.
I laughed so hard when you beat the fish finders ass. I heard you call it a mfer😂😂😂
working on getting you that 100k subs keep it man
Dave you are a very blessed man you are living my dream that is to fish the great Mississippi river for catfish best of luck to you buddy.
Good fishing, but most of all be safe. Mississippi and the Ohio rivers can get pretty wild
Good job. Always looking an producing.
Dave, "Lets Fish". God Bless
Dave Next Time You do the TENNESSEE TWO STEP on your Electronics ADD SOME MUSIC 😂 Love seeing you Fishing New Waters , Thanks Dave ............

I hope you make it to the Alabama River in Autauga County some time soon. I'd love to see you make a fishing video on my stretch of water.
Great video
Some fine fishing there in the Ohio. Stop by some time around the carthage, Tn area and try out the fishing here. Lot of followers around here,and I think you would enjoy yourself.
Yup ! Ats how i fix mine too . Last step is to throw for depth n distance 😂 🎉
Just discovered you and enjoyed watching. Do you ever keep your catch to eat? Keep up your great videos!
You lost that fish in that creek mouth where Chris Riley Fishes at. And for them barges churning the water on that ramp I had to launch Steve Douglas boat there I don't even think I was breathing the whole time when I did it lol
Dave how come you stop playing your music when you reel in the fish? it’s a part of your show and we miss it
No, we don’t. Not everything requires music. A lot of us come here for some serious fishing, not some garbage music.
@@jaredklein6927 Just you Jared. You're all by yourself on a tiny island wanting no music. The rest of us want Reuben's Train. Jared is a very, very lonely man.
@@fishinfool3795 Not true. I have a thumbs up. There’s at least two of us.
I agree the music made it more real
@@jaredklein6927 Your wrong, it is a big part of the Catfish Dave show and it has been since the beginning of him making fishing videos and it’s who he is. Just turn your volume down and watch.
Your the most entertaining show on the net.
Baseball bat to the fish finder. Lol. That sounds exactly what I would do. Been known to lose it a time or two when stuff doesn't work.
We need a video of that
For sure!!
You fishing around the southern tip of Illinois? I ask as your last video you were on the Ohio river and now the mighty muddy
Damn, it's not an old TV, hammering on it will not help...LOL
Catfish Dave shows how to void the warranty on his fish finder! LOL
Dave reminds me of my uncle fuzz with his brash humor. Miss him alot.
What do you look for when you’re deciding where to fish on the Mississippi? Love your videos.
I liked it when you played during reeling in fish
my penn 109 dragged up a 85 pounder , my biggest, skipper heads and bumpin i s my way to go. have fun ron
No barkin dogs. No weed whacker dooos. But no Banjer music? GDang it son!
I used to live in wickiiffe. I fish off of that boat ramp quite often. One of my friends saw you in lacenter. I missed the opportunity due to work. Maybe next time.
I live in Paducah, and I'm from Cairo. I wish I would have known he was coming up this way.
@@dominichollisfishing me too, would’ve been a pleasure
Dave love your videos would like to take you on the rock river in illinois with us we catch a lot of flathead 40 plus lbs.
Great video, Dave. Have you ever fished around the Olmstead Lock and dam on the Ohio?
What dept of water do you prefer? What I'm trying to say do you like sand bars vs deep holes along the river
What a trip Dave.
Nice blue dave
Dave I had a Hummingbird go dead for no reason one time and beat it to death with a spud wrench.. I live I owensboro Ky on the Ohio and a guy in my town caught a 109 lb blue down at the Cannelton Dam lock 30 min from Owensboro. Love your show man.
Oh and went with Garmin’s back in 2016 and upgrade my units every 2 years.
Lol OK Chuck take it easy on your equipment!!!
Way to stick in there just proves your a true fisherman good job buddy
Get you an new depth finder. If you mess something up because yours isn’t working (hit a stump, tree or rock), my guess is it’ll be way more than $1,600. Great video 👍
Awesome!!
Please do us a favor and wear some type of floatation device, when on the Mississippi or big rivers like it.
2 minutes into the video I said to myself “cmon Dave, do a trip on the Ohio River!”……15 minutes later boom…Ohio River! There are some monster flathead in er. Hope you make a multiple day trip and fish it hard soon!
Dave and I use the same technique when it comes to electronics repair
Hello sir I'm a Brit use to live in sevierville and fish the French broad river regularly and I use to soak my catfish baits in makeral oil the night before and the catfish hammered the baits
Do you ever use fish oil if not give it try sir
Like the fact you travel to different rivers and bodies of water 👌🏽
Channel gets a little bit bigger, road trips to Paducah sounds like the plan. Try the two lakes near Land between the Lakes.
Glad you came to the ohio river !
Well brother you ain't too far from my neck of the woods on the Ohio side, caught a lot of big ones
Why don't you explain why you set up where you do. I'd like to know how you know where and why!
That first cat was a good one😮😮😮
Cairo is a bad bad place. Glad you didn't launch there. I'm headed there soon, but on the other side of the river.
Sometimes equipment works like that but at least you have caught some fish
I like fishing the Ohio river I have fished it at Evansville Indiana and cave in rock
This is the way we fix Sonars in Mississippi!!!😂
Just goes to show you knowledge trumps electronics. However I use a garmin 10 inch and love it.
That old Blue had been eating good.
Was kinda wondering if you ever tried the Missouri River in your travels unfortunately I have yet to land one near Kansas City I have a one year old that requires my attention so my fishing is limited
No dogs barking. No lawnmower or weed whacker. Dagblasted barges and dadburn fish finder turns off. Catfish Dave. The angry fisherman.
Come up to Va and fish the Potomac this fall.
WOOOOOOOO!!! Carry on
GPS gave you the wrong road. That's impossible, Dave. WOOOOOOOO
Never, ever, don't stop
Give out, but DON'T give up!
Thanks Catfish Dave another classic.
Come on down to Lay Lake on the Coosa River

I appreciate all those fish that you turned loose and continue on to live and fight another day
I've said the same thing about river catfish vs reservoir catfish.
Another thing, cats in heavy current rivers will never get super gorged and fat in the belly like you see a lot of Tennessee river cats
My husband is a tug boat pilot on the Mississippi. He's in the St Louis area right now.
Check your electrical and fuses, you may have a flakey fuse. One end of the internal connection maybe loose and intermittent
Catfish Dave if you get a chance use eel for bait on the Mississippi River. Hard to get a hook thru the skin but man the few times we used it they were crazy over it.
Do you use a cork with a stop so far from hook
We fished from the bank where there were alot of rocks so we used a smaller leader for the weight so when we hung a fish the weight would break off leaving the fish on main line.
Check some Texas lakes and rivers. Good luck. C.D..
