What it’s REALLY LIKE Being a Pro Fisherman (Surprising)

[@aubreylogan2224]

DC, why don’t you have your DC Logo on the deck of your boat? That’s your brand. There’s a lot of people that call you DC.

[@tomstclair961]

I will say that all of you guys do really well with your media and correspondence with your fans. You respond to people!! That's so important to respond and give that fan the feeling that your actually listening to what they've said. You all answer questions and comment to people. That's a Great feeling!! It's your job!! Your basically working 24/7. Your just doing it with friends thank God.. I've worked on jobs away from home. Look at these cell tower guys that wire up the towers and get them up and running. They get paid well .. But they get paid every week for showing up. Where as you guys!! You can show up for work , but if you don't catch fish, you don't get paid.. So, your job is probably the hardest away from home over the road jobs out there... You guys rock!! Good luck this year gang.. ✌️😎💯🇺🇸

[@andreaseichmann-qu5zx]

Lol, talkin bout Blow Outs; Cizzle bout ta learn all bout them Blow OUTTTZ!!! 🤣 In all seriousness I wish you, momma, n little man all the best n great memories to be made. This group of guys is always worth the watch, Don't Stop Won't Stop!

Professional Cameraman - hard work - pays off - Duck hunting yes!

[@douggrant272]

Probably the most entertaining, funny, real video yet! Loved it!

[@williamtennill6744]

Love the straight talk ..Congrats J Dubb last tourney ..DC right before ..like the rate the bait honesty and the tinkers of each. Also the live footage. The pro game is a bigger grind I think then a lot would wanna bite off . Hats off to you guys

[@ChrisBanks-tx6in]

Thank You for the podcast. I get it but when you win your family will benefit emensly. When you make it big you instantly become a rock star. Love to everyone at the table and best of luck to all of you.

[@OEF5Outlaw]

What a great video, I have a set of twins as well, I know what Jmart is going through. Talked to him at Red Crest about it. DC you will love life with your new baby and congratulations on that! Great tips on what it's really like to be a pro angler. I thanked every wife I saw at Red Crest for the sacrifice and time that they allow the guys to fish to bring us content and the ability to learn from the top anglers in the world. I equated it to Military spouses having to do everything while soldiers are deployed so a huge shout out to all the anglers wives or significant others.

[@created2fish714]

I give you all credit for what yall chose as a profession. I chose life safety and love to fish whenever possible. After watching this, I have a new understanding of bass fishing pros. Good luck to you all. Someday, I hope to meet in person when yall are in the Satee Cooper area, and I actually have some time. Thanks for the great video.

[@matthewlindsey7717]

You were killing it on dale hollow. Can't wait till my camping trip this weekend, hopefully I'll get to meet you and the rest of the crew.

[@jasonellis1811]

Congrats on the new addition to the fam and on winning. I had a chance to meet all of you at toledo bend and one thing yall didn't talk about is how much yall interact with fans constantly. It's gotta be hard to be that nice all the time. Especially after a tough derby.

[@Loomis_Fishin]

I’m at work and straight lost it at the end y’all are some fools 😂. One of my favorite channels to listen to at work. Keep the content coming.

[@boba-mg5md]

U guys r so laid back always having fun

[@AdventurewithHobbs]

Meeting you and the guys today was a total pleasure. Down to earth and talked to everyone. Now I’m going to place peanut butter under some door handles 😂😂😂😂😂

[@TheSinistral]

Five smart funny thoughtful dudes. Thanks!

[@dipster14]

Love the content win, lose, good, or bad. The laughs and the squad is what really makes these videos. Here me out DC.. You, Mark, Jacob, and Adrian should make a fishing lure brand of y'all own. I KNOW Y'ALL CAN MAKE A KILLER LURE SELECTION AND MAKE MONEY

[@jeremydsmith24]

The Truth!! One Day I might graduate from being a PondPro, But I still Love It!!! Keep Killing It gentlemen!!

[@CatfishJax]

what is up dc

[@mikeslater2983]

I am watching this Video at 5 50 am Thursday morning DC , your northeast Arkansas fan here on the hill

[@kdeal5522]

Love these group chats. Can't wait to meet yall at Eufaula oklahoma

[@along44ride]

I just watched the Rick and Bubba show with you on it. Those two guys are more interested in being comedians then they were with you answering their questions. The were asking you more questions before you answered the one they just asked you,

[@garriettchavis6679]

When Jdub said “your wife has to be on top of it” when they was talking about being away from home Connell started geeking he a goober 🤣🤣

[@andrewmcdowell6804]

Lay lake is my hometown lake as well. Love the content bro. makes my day when you post a new video. 🤙🏼

[@BassHead1322]

Best one ever!!! You guys need to do a weekly episode. What you want to know and didn’t about the life of a professional outdoor sportsman. DC blowouts are very real. My daughter being a female would have a blowout every time my wife went shopping with her, like she knew she would get a new outfit from it. DC you’re in for a treat, although it will be several years before you realize it. Best to all you guys.

[@mikegiradi]

All self employed people have heard the must be nice comment. I’ll take a day off to go fishing and people have no idea what i have to do and how much extra time that i have to put in over the weekend or at night to be able to do it. Most people that work a 9-5 or never took the chance don’t understand it. Keep up the great work guys!

[@stevekuney2541]

Man it was great to meet you and Brett today !!!

[@mikeslater2983]

Congratulations on your new son, and my condolences loosing your aunt DC.. proud of mr Wheeler and his strong language 😅 All aside, you all rock, keep up the hard work we love y'all 😊

[@prestoncrane35]

Of course lol I listen to them every morning on z 93.1

[@hunterbooth8578]

I listen to Rick & Bubba every day going to work lol they are THE blue collar radio show

[@Matthewdavenport-k2l]

Hey DC I am a huge fan of yours. I was wondering the next time you will be in the Chattanooga area to sign autographs or for a tournament. You are my favorite pro fisher to watch. Awesome video as always! I fish for my school so I hope to make it big someday!

[@William72798]

Hey dc I meat you at the gas station day 1 of practice at dale hollow I’m coming to see y’all Sunday you better come back and win I’m rooting for you and I’ll get you a big cup.

[@prestonmire5509]

I own my own business it is very hard to turn it off when I am home but I have learn you have to do it for your family and kids so important for dad to be there 😊 peace

[@codyhooser3333]

Wanted to thank Brent an DC, plus All the guys going in half on spitting the fund's to have a place to rest well. I watched till the end an love yall's content. DC saying he pays 25K on gas with a baby on the way, plus entry fees and food. My wife Amy, son Bryson and I make 100% profit from mowing yard's as a family an drive 8K miles per year. No entry fees, no lodging. Just 100% profit!!

[@nolanmanley5359]

Damn, y'all had me rolling at pissing and dribbleing. I was a Marshal for KVD at 2017 day two, Wheeler lake and I dribbled all over the back of his boat that day! Top it off, he went from 6th place to missing the cut on his "Worst day ever". 😮

[@Parkersgrow31319]

Love this content fellas!! ❤️🙏🏿

[@bubba8388]

Love Rick and Bubba

[@carlreed9357]

So glad y'all brought up INTEGRITY !!! It has been forgotten ! Not just in professional fishing but fishing, hunting and life in general. I am disabled but can still fish so I am on the water at least 2 days a week sometimes more. I will not fish on the weekend because of the idiots on the water and I am like DC, I'm from South Alabama and I am packing. People please. do unto others and if you can't, stay home! I fish small tributary lakes off of the Mobile River and NO ONE idles by you when you are fishing and this is required by law in these narrow lakes. My daddy taught me that before it was a law and he taught me to RESPECT other fishemen /women and not stop 50 feet in front of them and start fishing. I have rambled enough but please everyone change the atmosphere and respect each other and be friendly.

[@bradmcdaniel9675]

hilarious! Thanks for the laughs.

[@JasonSullivanBigBass]

I was paying a lady eleven a acre and Florida man heard us shooting so he afford twenty two a acre got it from us crazy great job on the water today DC you the man legend

[@scottwhughes]

Good stuff guys!

Kicking butt at dale hollow 😊 hoping for all of you. Mdj let's freaking go

[@christianhurtado6095]

It got real! 😳

[@Stiksfishingchannel]

How many times have you all touched that trophy?

[@philiph1802]

There are also alot of pluses to fishing like only working half the year. I live the life yall live on the road for the past 20 yrs. Have one kid fixing to graduate high school and ive missed it all. Everyone that will be successful will have to make sacrifice but i certainly feel yalls pain

[@DCFishing]

You don’t see it but we work all year. Product development, sponsor obligations, etc

[@philiph1802]

@DCFishing I certainly feel that pain lol.

[@Thibs962]

now imagine having all those problems but because of the military, love you guys but you guys still have it really good!

[@DCFishing]

Never said we had it bad. Just things that most folks don’t consider or would be surprised by in pro fishing. We owe everything to our service members and their sacrifice.

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

Yall didn't have to tell me how hard it is to be a pro fisherman man you gotta be all in on that stuff if u wanna be good I don't see how y'all do it balance everything home life kids wife etc etc its peaches and cream when your catching them but go few months and don't man id go crazy wanna choke somebody lol ..I respect y'all 100% yeah alot dont have a clue and i didnt even bring up the cost of i all !!! anyway i enjoy the content man keep rolling 👊

[@daleb2786]

love the video DC Roll Tide!!!

[@Korbin-jt7fq]

I met DC and Jacob wheeler I’m so happy

[@Korbin-jt7fq]

I’m the kid in the red rain suit that you signed my hat good luck I hope you win your doing awesome right now

[@wvlongshooter3912]

The amount of jealousy against you guys from other anglers is what tears me up and I can’t help it. I don’t understand jealousy!!!!

[@leechurchwell24]

If you are from South Alabama you know the Rick and Bubba show

[@controlavirus9839]

We are taxed to death literally. We pay taxes on stuff that we own that we already paid taxes on.

[@bobschlotterfishing2678]

Awesome video... Here's one to try, i know it would be hard but get all your wives together and do the same podcast only on there issues with dealing with the profession of bass fishing. All i can say is i give each and everyone of you credit for the hard work and dedication to the sport and your family's keep up the great work.

[@lsouza511]

Nobody mentioned sponsor pressures?

[@KyleStjohn-lu6ew]

Lets go DC

[@juleswinnfield826]

So.... Since Boyd said no to Netflix for a Derby Fisherman reality show. You guys , Zaldains, Scott Martin, Ben Milliken all get together approach Netflix and make a Reality series..... on derby touring pros. Now is the time for highly visable fisherman to grab more industry percentages. The above mentioned groups could easily surpass any "League" market share.... BPT, MLF, BassMaster. Great time to be a "Young" pro bass fisherman. Wishing you guys the best of luck with the "Off The Water" ventures. Great chemisrty in your group DC, MD, JW and ya.... that crab fisherman from the East cost.... AA. Lol.

[@DCFishing]

Don’t believe everything you hear. A lot of information out there with some truth, half truth and no truth. Just because someone says it on the internet doesn’t mean much anymore. Just saying

[@juleswinnfield826]

@@DCFishing yep... time always shows the truth.

[@jimsmith5939]

It’s about that time of year for the creek series boys! Y’all get wheeler out there this time 😅

[@enonek2960]

DC, blowouts? Man you have no idea. Once on the couch my son sitting on my lap had a blowout so bad it when out the diaper, and soaked into my jeans it like 30 secs. He has a smile on his face sitting on Dada's lap with not a care in the world. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mikeslater2983]

😮oh my DC, 26 grand last year on gas !!

[@captainron3494]

not only bass pro miss A LOT of first

[@bentannehill3350]

I wish I only spent 18 weeks, tops, away from my wife and daughter! I was home 4 weeks in 2023 pipelining wishing I was fishing! I’d feel like a full time dad if I only worked 9-18 weeks a year! “Time away from home” is nothing from my perspective!

How easy can sponsors of yours pull out? Like how big of a drop before they drop you? Thank you

[@JacobStewart24]

all those expenses are deductible tho soo... and DC got big Trent now, that's 2k of the in income.. but DC gonna hit get hard by winning all these tournaments this year

[@boba-mg5md]

Hate those spot moochs

[@AdventurerAnthony]

Cant you write off gas and everyrhing you spend towards your job or career

[@Wolf-vc4wj]

Have you tried to get Shell or BP as a sponsor? Gas problem solved.

[@bobrole9677]

I'm sure it's tough being away and focusing on the fishing. That said, it's nothing like the sacrifice of our military people who are out, all over the world risking their lives. None of them will win tens of thousands of dollars nor gain sponsorships and all that comes with. Sorry, but you guys really have nothing to complain about. I can't drink this koolaide this time.. sorry..not sorry.

[@DCFishing]

No one ever said that. Of course we owe everything to them. This podcast was about if you became a pro angler for a day the things we go through that may surprise you.

[@bobrole9677]

I love your content and learn quite a bit from all of you. Not trying to be a hater. Just letting you know that the podcast came off differently than you may have thought. Congrats on the new baby. I hope both mama and baby are doing well.
