The MOST EPIC Late Day Find EVER - 2022 MLF Stage 3 Smith Lake -Knockout Round

The wind is still a factor today. It will be a challenge to skip docks but that is what has gotten me this far in this tournament. I really don't think that is a winning deal but I am hoping if I keep searching long enough I will find that magic area that a group of fish is on and give myself a shot at making it to the championship round and potentially winning this tournament.

Best offical ever, ready with the scale, words of encouragement

[@nathanthao6667]

Poor guy got his fist bumped swerved by DC too lol

[@todddickinson3262]

Love it when an official actually talks and encourages the fisherman he’s in the boat with.

[@twitchbuckeyekidd1703]

Atta boy dc but you left ol boy hanging big time with the fist bump 😂

[@charliehendrix1265]

It cracked me up when he left the official hanging 😂

[@paulstevens6944]

Congrats DC! Well earned! My favorite angler to watch! I am a 54 year old from Wisconsin and I cried when you won Redcrest. Going to come up to try to meet you at Mille Lacs in September.

[@SeabearFishing]

Takes off with a clean front deck. 5 minutes in and rods are laying everywhere🤣 if that isn’t me, I don’t know what is. Awesome job, DC

[@jamesc.murray5932]

"We can easily have a twenty pound period.", said DC to the MLF Official, before the start of period three of the Knockout Round...lol!!!!!! Prophesy, DC. Pure prophesy.

I am not sure of the specifics yet but I will be there some

[@austinrichardson433]

Deff best official for sure

[@Mossyoakboi11]

DC what’s your “go to chew” during a tournament

[@MN_outdoors]

You left the official hanging at 18:40 ish

[@eddie1123w]

Congrats on the win that was awesome!!! I have a quick question though what would you rig on a summit 7’2” mh casting rod

[@jessevowell6103]

I’m not Dustin but I think that rod could do a lot from all jigs to under-spins to Texas rigs to small glide baits

[@eddie1123w]

@@jessevowell6103 that’s what I was thinking I just got it and I have a lot of rods and I really didn’t plan it out on what I should use it for because I bought it on impulse 😂😂😂 but thanks for the heads up!! I’ll definitely throw a jig on it love jigs just usually use a 7’6 heavy for that. Give er a rip see what happens

[@backwaterbasics6386]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZDcaYSDq62Artk

[@DCFishing]

It is a really good jig rod
