Excuses Excuses

you [Music] well I'm going fishing I'm going fishing in the morning well I'm going fishing I'm going fishing in the mornin I'm gonna cast my line then sit and do some time you [Music] this Dave here name of this video is excuses and I'm here to give you all a bunch excuses while I didn't have a YouTube video this week excuse number one I got rained out I went Friday night here come the rain I went Saturday night here come the rain I stayed up all night Saturday night waiting for the rain to break it broke for just a minute I left out 3 a.m. Sunday morning got set up here come the rain so I come back to the house at the beginning of this clip you see me messing around on the garage band there icepick a little guitar and doing a little silly song but uh I got rained out all right people uh excuse number two is the same as excuse number one rain now I did fish it was one of those weekends where it basically rained all week and rained all weekend and there was a little break in the morning supposedly there was a break that's what the weather said said it wasn't gonna start rain until the afternoon so I rushed down there we've had so much rain I couldn't fish the main channel where I wanted to so I was just kind of stuck in back waters because just too much current and well I setup in this backwater spot it's not supposed to rain for several hours and I'm running a live base on floats well as soon as I get there it starts raining so I had a sandwich bag in my bucket I put it over my camera here comes the rain and put this little sandwich bag over my camera for now hopefully it'll stay on there [Applause] next thing you know I get a bite my float goes under well I got a sandwich bag over my camera the rain had slacked up enough at this point it was just drizzling I could take the bag off my camera my float just 100 I had a had a sandwich bag on my camera I pulled it off it's not a big fish but I got something on the LOB bluegill [Applause] [Laughter] [Applause] so I'll pull the fish in and right when I get it to the bank I guess from the sandwich bag being over the camera cause the camera to overheat and it just shut off [Music] anyway I look behind me and I see my camera is turned off I don't know how much of that I missed I don't know if I got any of the footage pulling this fishing or not I just look and the lights off you don't so I lay the fish in the rocks and there must from all the people fishing there you know I don't know if those respawn their reels were what there but there was about 600 85 yards of fishing line laying in them rocks and while I was fooling with my camera that fish had just rolled all up in it all right people I'm experiencing technical difficulties I don't know if I got any of that fish in the camera or not or if you even seen it the dang camera shut off I guess it overheated from that plastic bag being on it trying to get it out of the deck busted rain but I did get one little blue kit on on my float here ain't no flathead this is what I hate about people in public spots look at all this dang line all I done was lay this fish down for a second and look at all this fishing line tangled up in my stuff here I hate people man I'll tell you what I'll do my line away yesterday and someone wasn't gonna give me the same favor now I got this mess but I did get one little blue cat here the rain is really aggravating me so I'm gonna abandon this spot I may have to go where I can fill them out of my truck so I don't have to keep jacking with it I put that plastic bag over it and it overheated the camera this camera overheats like nothing I don't care which one of these action camis are by every one of them's got some kind of stupid issue now I know with all the technology they got they can make one that will work you would think they would haven't worked before they sold the product but I got so much fishing line wrapped around this fish I can't get the dang hook out of it okay look at all that line stupid people look at all this crap [Applause] Jesus [Applause] anyway I was real aggravated trying to get the line and stuff off this fish it was a mess and I finally got the fish released anyway I knew it was gonna be bad I knew it's gonna just run all day I figure okay I'll just go to someplace that I can set the camera in my truck so I drove out there and now normally this time of year this would have been a good spot to get a shallow water flood head but because of the late winter we had we also had a late spawn meaning I was at this spot probably about two weeks early and it rained the whole time I was out there I ended up getting a few channel cat out there I got his little butt well that's a bigger than the last one fat full eggs mixing to drop them it's fun it's just about over these fish are fixing to be on the nest it's probably why I'm not getting very many Blues at all most of them is probably on the nest ended up getting blue this might be a blue can't hear the way here is I'd say this is a blue we finally got a blue cat out of here I don't see no eggs and this one ended up getting checked by the TWRA one little Oh Channel you're on YouTube video anyway after the TWRA thing I pretty much had enough I wasn't getting no big fish there no sign of a flat head sawed up packed up and I went home so that was the end of that trip pretty much just frustration are I excused number three just didn't have enough time I had wanted to get a quick weeknight trip in now I worked early in the morning worked a pretty rough job and I can't stay up all night during the week so I figured if I leave the house fairly early you know seven o'clock I can get down the road catch me some lot of bluegills net me some gizzard shad and I can get to this one spot and I wanted to try to get a flat head up on the Little River that's what I wanted to try to do but I ended up getting stuck in road traffic they was had cones everywhere I was trying to move some big I was in that traffic for about an hour it was dark before I ever got down to start catching bait now what's getting real difficult to come up with live blue gills at night it just took longer to get the bait by the time I got to my fishing spot I had maybe an hour to set my camera up and get a fish and get out of there if I was going to be home by midnight I ended up getting blue cat at this spot now I was not expecting a blue cat but what happened was this blue cat on the way in he kind of tangled up in my lines took me a while to get the fish off after that mess of getting the fish often getting him back in the water he's when I release it it swims into one of my lines with my float rig and this was a brand-new float I just tied it on never caught a fish on this float he caught a hold that line and pulled that float under a tree and I ended up having to break my line and my float was somewhere under that tree I never did never did service back so I was pretty irritated between the traffic jams taking forever to get bait losing my new float I pretty much just packed it and just went to the house you know hang on to it yeah I got something on there probably an old channel cat I'll tell you what they don't feel like that bad of a finish that ain't that bad of a fish that's got to be a blue here there's in my float well that is an old blue kit in this little Oh River long way from the Tennessee River he's chewing my finger off I don't know what he's doing up here in this hot time of year but he's got my other lines all tangled up well people that's uh I've been here about an hour so I'm gonna go ahead and pack up and this will just be my little River short trip I'm gonna keep plugging away at this place until I get an actual flat head out of here anyway cut bait got an old blue kit way up here in this like I say I'm a long way off the Tennessee he's way up in here these fixing to drag my float into that tree he caught my line now I just lost one of my floats my wild wolf kept Bubber I lost it last weekend I've only got a couple left and he swung my line all up under that tree right there so I don't know if I'm gonna get this one back or not reason number four y'all ever foul hook a fish you know I remember one time I skipped jack fishing quite a bit of current and throwing these little flies and all sudden I hooked it up I felt like I had about a 20-pound carp on there you know and all it was was a skipjack that was hooked in the tail about her two-pound skipjack and that current hooked in the tail you think you got a monster on there you know well I figured I'd go to Neyland Drive there it's pretty easy blue cat out there just out in the channel and you know I went to a difference but that I hadn't videoed before a little farther down river and I hook into this fish and I think I've got a monster on there I mean I think I've got an absolute beast now he wasn't fighting okay but I've I've hooked a big fish that didn't necessarily fight until you got him close to you this thing felt like it was 80 pounds you know what I mean bottom line the fish ended up getting hung up on something I thought it was a Ledge but what was actually hung up on one was a tree and when I get this fish worked out of this tree when I see its surface not only did I have the fish fowl hooked it had a limb about that big around on my line as well I was trying to pull in I'm talking in the cameraman like I've got a world-record fish on this thing and it turns out to be a fourteen fifteen pound blue cat that's hooked in the back so pretty much just an embarrassing moment hey this is a better fish around here they say now little fish this is a good one hey this is a tank right here heavy fish oh yeah there's a good one he's heavy [Applause] oh yeah this is a gun [Applause] he's not bite he's not fighting real hard and that kind of scares me good that means when I get him up here too close to the bank and around these trees he's going to have lots of energy I'd rather to wire them out way out there you know where it's clear [Applause] oh he's fixing to get mad he's got me in something right right there on the bank he's got me hung on a Ledge or he's laying down or he's got me in a tree I'm just going to slack it up see if he comes out [Applause] oh come on okay he's coming up [Applause] [Applause] he's got me hung up again [Applause] [Applause] [Laughter] he's got me hung in something else man this is a heavy fish I hope it's not rock I hope it's wood he's on if it's rock my lines done I'm gonna lose him okay there he goes Oh it's not even a big fish man I got that fish hooked in the back I thought I had a dang world-record catfish on here I've got a mixture of a stick and a 20-pound fish hooked right through the back you got to be kidding me [Applause] [Applause] [Laughter] [Applause] he's not even 20 pounds but he's hooked right in the back you got to be kidding me man I thought I have dang 80 pound fish on there you got to be kidding me I feel my line all scuffed up from whatever he had me hung up on man I thought I done had me an 80 pounder on there [Applause] [Applause] dag-blasted I don't even know if I'm gonna put that on video that's embarrassing five I caught the same fish now I have fished many times and caught the same fish one time I caught the same 43 to 44 pounds look at four times in a week and finally about the fourth time to catching this fish I'm like thinking man is this the same fish so I put it up on the tailgate and I looked and I seen the piercings where I had hooked it all the other times that was one time I can think of a lot of times one of the more notable times was a I'd hooked a flathead I was Flathead fishing up on her this bridge and had him on there felt like a good flat here will he cut me off I ended up losing the fish well I had another rod throughout probably eighty yards away from that bait that bait was way downriver and I had this bait cast away across the river over by this bridge pile on this same flathead found that bait I caught it didn't realize it till I put the fish up on my tailgate I was gonna get a picture of it and I took the hook out and after the hooks out I've seen this blue line my blue and II monster line coming out of his mouth well I got my other hook back too so he had hit twice in the same night and we all had went back to that same spot three or four days later and I caught the same flathead again didn't realize it I got home and had the picture up and I was comparing the pictures and I realized it was the same fish I hooked him twice in one night and actually caught him again three days later well anyway in my back for revenge video I caught the big striper well it took me all day to catch a bluegill at this spot all day to catch one bluegill I throw the bluegill out sits out there 30 minutes after dark I catch a flathead well I'm thinking man maybe you know this place don't get flat head fish hardly any cat fisherman fish this spot maybe I've got this hat this really good flathead hole here that's untouched you know and maybe I could come here one night with the whole bucket full of blue gills and get a really good video well I caught the first flathead in the back for revenge video I caught him in a parking lot by a boat ramp all the way across that Cove there was a crate that come out in a real rocky area in a cut Bank area it was looked like a lot better place for flat heads so I went back down there four or five days later and I walked two hundred yards made three trips walking two hundred yards I set up down these rocks and sure enough I catch a flat head only one I thought I had a successful flathead video well I got home spent two hours editing the video was going to upload it to YouTube and all I'd done was take a little clip out of that video and a little clip from the back for revenge video and I was going to put it on Facebook for people to see the flatheads I'd caught that week and when I got to comparing the two videos I realized it was the same fish I mean it's the same fish mark for mark I caught the same fish twice so many days later two hundred yards down the bank I caught the same flathead so I figured I'd already had that flathead caught on video that video really didn't count so I never uploaded that video so anyway I'll go ahead and show you all the clip to when I actually caught the flathead the second time my plug just got hit [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] just getting there my other line thank Leicester [Applause] [Applause] ain't tiring out too quick [Applause] [Applause] little moon flathead they want my little bitty bluegill [Applause] man that fish wouldn't tire out he'd pull all kind of little drag out of my real got a unique color to him don't he check him out boy full moon flat heads with catfish day wow he just bit me pretty hard alright people won't get this fish back in the water I still got that big shell cracker out there and he's a big [Applause] it's a fish on a full moon man I'll take it you know what I mean I'll take it [Applause] all right people there's five excuses why I didn't give you all a YouTube video this week and this really isn't a video you're all actually and even watching this because I didn't have nothing to put up so this really isn't a video now just kidding anyway like I say this is a video and there are fish in the video so that makes this efficient video and this is catfish day with five excuses why I didn't get a YouTube video signing out
