  Dave... We watch the videos because of the PEOPLE making the content. We've all seen the fish, the takedowns, etc. what brings us back is YOU, or Justin, or Spencer, or Micka, or whoever makes us smile, think, connect with as fishermen. Most of us around the country don't have easy access to water with big blues consistently, so we dream about your part of the country. I live in Kansas City, Missouri and the Muddy MO is vastly different from the Tennessee River system, and has to be fished in a completely different way, so watching y'all dragging boards is educational for me. Most of us don't have big fancy tournament boats either, so those guys show us the more luxurious side of catfishing. Basically what I'm trying to say is, there are many reasons people watch catfishing videos, but the biggest reason is because we like you guys and feel like we know you... So just keep doing you, and we will keep watching.

  I watch your videos because I enjoy watching you do what I used to do when I was younger.  Now days I no longer go out by myself due to my age and common sense.  And it does catch up to you after years of living life out in the wild nearer the edge.  I hope you get to continue your dreams in the outdoors producing content.

  Fads come and go... Youtube, in itself, may be a fad... Catching fish and learning to catch those fish is a lifetime dedication. I caught a 10 lb catfish at 7 years old and I knew I wanted to catch a bigger catfish. I am well past 70 years old now. My baby is 111 # Blue cat. That was 25 years ago and I&apos;m still looking for a 112 pounder . That doesn&apos;t mean I don&apos;t want a 60 pounder, a 40 pounder, a 15 pounder, or even another 10-pounder. <br>We watch because there is always something else to learn. We learn from our own experiences, but we also learned through the experiences of other people. Documenting those experiences on a platform such as YouTube disseminate that information to literally millions of other people. Some will apply this information to their own fishing experiences, others will enjoy fishing vicariously through your experiences. Either way, what you do is a great benefit to other people. I was fishing before you were born but even I have learned from watching your videos. I had never seen a planer board, until you bought yours. I still don&apos;t like them, but I have learned &nbsp;&quot;sometimes&quot; they are the only thing that works ! Even then, I lost all kinds of rigs until you showed me &quot;draggin weights&quot;. <br>NEVER SELL YOURSELF OR WHAT YOU DO, SHORT !<br>&quot;We the catfishermen&quot; (and guitar pickers) are eternally grateful !

  Good insight of the YouTube catfisherman! That was one huge skipjack. It was a good day to make a fishing video. The reason your channel will continue to have followers is because you&apos;re a great fisherman and people like you! Hang in there Dave! Keep it real!
