I could see the compassion in your face of doing what you love. I'm very happy for you Catfish Dave, you are doing what every man dreams of, and that is fishing. I am glad you put some music on this video. I'm happy you changed your life, and made your dreams come true. Keep up the hard work, and stay safe out on the water my friend.

I have had the 8 foot extendable handle version of your net for the past 20-plus years and it is by far the longest lasting net I've ever owned, and they are affordable. They are bullet proof and I use mine on the Great Lakes for Lake Trout and Salmon. I grew up fishing catfish and cut my teeth fighting those monster fish. Back in those days I'd throw the biggest golden shiners I could get my hands on in some of the deep holes in and around the Mississippi River (and those rivers that flowed into it) in West Central WI. Those fish taught me how to catch big fish once I started after big lake trout and salmon close to 50 years ago. Catfishing is a LOT less expensive and just as fun as the other species I go after, many times much more fun due to the simplicity of doing it. Keep having fun and thanks for releasing the big ones.
