[@thenotsojollyrancher-akate9516]

Greatest fishing video I’ve ever watched!! DC you are a warrior! I had not seen this. Just popped up today and I only started following 3 months ago. Coming back from that deficit, wow! I’m blown away a year later!

[@XrpAndy]

2:09 peep the radio my dude is listening to Kodak black 😂🤙 hell yeah lol

[@troylouisoquin]

You deserve every good thing that comes your way DC. Awesome fishermen but an even better man. Congrats!

[@masonsfishingandhuntingcha2468]

Congrats Dustin love your channel

[@parkerbruce2268]

My man you gotta film some hunting vids! If this luck continues during hunting season, we gotta see it😂

[@mw3029]

God Bless DC loved watching this video! So happy your wife was able to make it up there, that has to be very special and I thank the Lord for making it happen. Stellar year, can't wait to see you come into town next year.

[@todddickinson3262]

You just about killed me in the last few minutes… I was chewing every nail on both hands brother! Congrats on a fantastic year DC! #kingofding

[@fjc8900]

That's soooo awesome! Congratulations D.C. you deserve it! So cool to have the wife there during your triumph 💪🏻sorry im a year behind on catching this torn...hope u still see this

[@brooksrf231]

"OH MAN, OH MAN, OH MAN, NOT AGAIN!" Congrats brother, this was amazing to watch. 🔥🔥

[@lesserkey]

You are on your way to becoming one of the GOATS of Pro Bass fishing. Im so glad to see it. You are my favorite angler to watch. Godspeed brother.

[@scottfrost8956]

WATCHED IT LIVE! I’m a two time Hall of Fame’r and I AM humble but I do NOT give out compliments easily. Dustin Connell is someone I’ve particularly followed since his beginning and I’m going to say this and mean it! EVERY FREAKIN SPONSOR IN THE NATION that has to do with fishing, should be offering this kid a real deal. He’s got it ALL, the humor, the corky looks, the big heart and most of all the talent. But this kid is a marketing company’s DREAM! Googan Baits hit a home run that’s for sure and I sure hope DC gets what he deserves. When you win in these type of sports like he is, you should win from every single angle. Life has now change for this young man, FOREVER. Love to see it!

[@mikesturgill4846]

Agree. On all points. As far as Googan goes I would have probably not gave it a shot if it weren’t for DC. Glad I did because their soft plastics kill it up here in Ohio. Not sure if it’s because they are so expensive and actually don’t hold up well but nobody I know of has much good to say about them. Maybe that why I do so well because the bass don’t see a lot of them. I’ve been out 1-2 times a week since march and have yet to zero. Bandito Bug and Krackin craw kills it for me. Sorry for the commercial not sponsored by Googan lol. Been following DC since the Elite’s but the Googan series on KZbin in the beginning of MLF solidified my fandom for him. He’s amazing to watch and a superstar in the making!

[@jop4473]

The look and reaction when you knew there weren't any more updates gave me goosebumps. Congratulations DC!!

[@johns3292]

Alabama torch bearer hits again. Well done Mr & Mrs Shizzle. Cannot forget, B makes for great production and plays his role well. All those years loving the chase are paying off.

[@TheR1crusher]

Watched your uploads all season DC. You earned every win this year. I promise you this. You come out swinging next season and do what you just did this year...AotY! DING!!!!

[@geraldbalser4581]

I have seen all your professional wins and you have been emotional on all of them and that's the best part shows how much you love what you do keep reeling them in D.C.

[@markkendrick01]

I was literally on the edge of my seat there at the end! I honestly didn't know the outcome, so I was glued to the screen cheering you on LOL! Epic finish! Loved this video! What a comeback in the 2nd period! DC all the way!

[@shannonwhitehead6314]

Congratulations on 3 wins DC !!!! DING DING DING !!!! enjoy your off season and get a big old Buck see you next year ,, and MLF needs to come to Northern California so my grandson can meet you !!!

[@theonearmedbandit8631]

[@brandonwoodcock4374]

Hell yeah brother. Been waiting on this video. 3 time 🏆 in 2022. That's badass. Here's to more in 23!!

[@garysanderford1572]

[@legolas0305]

[@mylife2162]

Thats a banger!! Fantastic season DC X-3!! You da man, now enjoy some family/hunting time!! Just a killer job!! Congrats DC x3 !!

[@OnyxCollector]

[@carbontines4258]

Dude that was amazing! Loved watching all your videos this season you’re one hell of a fisherman congratulations DC!! Separation is in the preparation.

[@jessevowell6103]

Hey dc I feel like this is a vital part of this comment section but I’m the kid who’s gf broke up with me because I kept watching fishing but good news I have a new one that watches you with me in my skinny block and she just about knows more about fishing than I do

[@pfft7738]

[@59BigWalt]

Good season Connell’s. DC you’re correct, y’all should get points for Redcrest. Enjoy your off-season.

[@itzFr0ztyy]

Been a fan of yours for a couple years now (and the rest of the Ding! Squad). Happy for you my man. Well deserved. Excited to see you what the future holds for you! Also, uhhhhhh DING! 🛎

There’s a sight! The house on the side of a mountain lol.

[@a.reason211]

BOYY!!! DC putting in that work. Pure entertainment watching y'all. Wheeler MDJ and You the Hammer!!! Back 2 Back blessings you deserve it!!

[@chaddrumm6809]

As much as I’m not a fan of watching forward facing sonar tourneys, the MLF BPT format kept me glued to live to watch this win. When it’s a 5 fish derby live is a snooze fest when it’s an offshore gig! Congrats to DC,again, for another win!

[@robertgallacher7214]

Awesome season man. been a pleasure to watch you and the rest of the gang smashing it all season long. 4oz, have a good think about your fishing time management when on the water. It's a shame to miss pictures of good fish and we all like looking at the better ones but i bet you can pick up at least 10 mins extra fishing time per day by really hammering bait out the water time.

[@damonnixon6630]

Bro way to battle!!! I love all your videos and I love how humble and great full for every opportunity and win you get. It’s true sportsmanship at its finest brother!

[@Gunlady1911]

One of my absolutely favorite fishing guys. Great job and congratulations. Well deserved win. Keep it up. Keep up the work.

[@Jacobmango7]

Man it’s so fun to watch you win. Such a humble attitude

[@keithlampe5090]

DC the king of drop shot! I was clinching my poo hole watching this and cant imagine how you were feeling in the heat of it! I am having a good year if I land 80 lbs of bass and you did it in one day! Congrats!

[@roberthern3057]

I’m watching this, running an excavator and just jumped out my seat when you too your first lead!! Don’t know how it ends up, but what a fricken show DC!!

[@richardtuck577]

Way to go. DC what a incredible year for you. Alright let shoot for that AOY Trophy next. Congratulations on a great year.

[@adzoutnabout888]

Your a BEAST mate 💥 That landing violation stopped you winning by more. Congrats from down under 🇦🇺

[@warrenchandler9718]

Great job DC, your tenacity is inspiring! Wow what an incredible season. Thank you for being you.

[@chadlafave1465]

That was a goal line stand... that was the best 2lber you ever caught lol... When I watched this live I was on the edge of my seat!!! What a show...All the leaders killed it! Just awesome!

[@marctammyfaith5966]

Back at the Alaskan slabs!!! Pull those halibut sized smallies up from the depths with those hook sets!!!! Great season DC!!! Loved the whole season with the new Googan wrap and sponsorship!! Great team!!

[@Runsfrombears]

[@jakedunevant6184]

Heck of a come back right there ! When you didn’t do good in the first period and then came back even after not doing good in the first period shows how strong of an angler you are ! Heck of a video getting the W! Looking forward to watching you in 2023 ! Keep catching em !

[@mikesturgill4846]

WOW! Haven't been this stressed watchin since Redcrest. I'm in the middle of a DC marathon right now and I'm up to where B first shows up and pranks DC with the note. Brett coming on board was all in Gods plan too. It's so cool to see how far you've come brother. Watched it all go down on live but Brett you made it even better to be a part of with the behind the scenes. "I was wondering what the doors were for"... cracked me up! Team DC&B killed it this year! Not leavin Vic out on purpose its just I cant figure out how to fit the "V" in there lol. So proud to be a true die hard DC fan. Been with ya on the tough losses and super excited to see all your hard work pay off! Lookin forward to seeing y'all in the off season. Creek series..deer stand..or just hangin out don't matter the content. My family and I watch it all. Dude just stay safe out in the woods. great Job!!

[@mikesturgill4846]

Just watched Jacobs vid on clinching AOY and we all agree it’s gonna be you next year. No pressure lol but keep following your gut and it’s gonna come bro. You are on fire and with your work ethic and unmatched preparation it’s gonna go down. Stay safe brother

[@SponsoredByMeFishing]

Most impressive thing about these last two wins is the way you win in the every fish matters format, and you would have won if it was 5 fish too. Just smoking big ones! It's sick.

[@claytonturlington4169]

Congrats man! Always love watching your content. Good person all around. Stay on em DC!

It's the lucky Walmart wranglers since it's been cooler. I was watching the last 15 minutes between waiting at the pharmacy and in my truck lol. It's fun to watch the passion you have for fishing.

[@douggarner5322]

First thank you are a Hammer !!!! I am so glad you won.. I have followed all of you and it has involved me buying a john boat because I haven't been able to fish for 20 years.. boat is no ready yet but soon .. but the reason I am texting today is for not making the mistake that I made..... work never should come before your wife.. even though she is from Alabama...!!!! She is special... Go Dogs....
