I Got BIG FISH by 1oz! MLF Heavy Hitters - Caney Lake, LA - Day 1

Welcome to Heavy Hitters. This event is all about big bass. Literally, $200,000 will be given out for big bass throughout each round. the biggest bass for this round will be worth $25,000 and I have caught 2 8lbers here during practice. I feel ok about it but this place is fishing tough so we will have to just grind it out and see where we land.

Man it cannot be overstated how good DC is for the sport of bass fishing, and for MLF in particular… #kingofding

All I remember from that day is DC catching that oz over Wheeler and the camera man telling JWheels and him turning around pulling down his mask, right on live and saying DC can FREAKING Fu©✓ off😂😂😂😂 loved it

[@chrishampton8842]

Yah, that was hilarious 😂

I watch DC because, he's one of the only Big Guns out there that specializes in the use of the spinning reel. I learned ALOT about drag technique from him.

I only went with the Charger, because they followed the Champion Hull for big waves an it is Fandominal in rough water. $27K?

[@johnnyweaver1300]

What a comeback after loosing that giant it does mess with you, but you handled way better i would have, when i saw that you beat JW by 1oz i said to myself i bet he's ticked off or he said that dirty dog😂

[@bryansherlin1914]

17:36. True heartbreak

[@codyhooser3333]

I rode in the boat with Terry Scroggins at the Bassmaster Memorial Tournament on Eagle Mountain Lake back in 2005. Almost bought a Bass Cat Pantera 3 for $33,999.00, but Charger was offering there 395TF with a Yamaha 3.1 VMAX OX66 for $2699.99. How did the Bass Cat perform vs the Tridon. Honestly?

[@codyhooser3333]

You probably can't say the Truth, or you probably can due to sponsorship. I figured you have rode in your buddy's boat that goes on Tour with you, what makes 1 better than the other. I know there both really good boats.

[@justinbuckles120]

Awesome job DC. Why do they make you guys switch boats always wonder why?

[@DCFishing]

Heavy hitters mainly done for a TV show and the league has their own sponsors to promote. So league boat with league sponsor wraps and league jerseys

[@donniebell8166]

Post next video ASAP!! I got know

It is all up to personal preference. They all have their own unique features. I have always been with triton and would always recommend them. I was running a triton before they were a sponsor if that says anything

What do you think of The Basscat ?

[@byronmcgill2656]

Dern my fav shines in that 3rd Man I’m from Tallassee just letting you know I’m riding with ya love the videos y’all wear that ass out Tell ole Jacob catch something

[@Moro2424.]

Just a little tick. If u know she is under timber or any structure and breaking her off is the only outcome, pull off several feet of line attach a bobber to the line, before u break her off. U are allowed to grab ur line later, if u see ur line and hand line her in.

[@DCFishing]

You can pull the line if it breaks but is it breaks one foot above the hook in 8 foot of water… you ain’t going to catch her

[@Moro2424.]

@@DCFishing U are so right! It’s one of those decisions u have to make, when u saw her jump and knew she was under something. I have done this 15 times. It’s actually worked twice😃. Instead of pulling it back down to the structure, u have to decide it at that moment.

[@flop2river471]

Guess you better have some bobbers on the bow DC 😏

[@fishingwithtlj5196]

The biggest bass ever caught in louisiana was actually out of caney lake by my dads step dad 13 pounds

[@DavidMccallister65]

Losing a 7lber like that feels like your wife telling you she's been sleeping with your sister! That hurts.

[@carltonharris6011]

So that’s how I got that dent in my door.

[@valentinbonelli519]

The only gripe I have with this reel is the weight, but that goes with the size of the reel kzbin.infoUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . I brought this salmon fishing up in Oswego, NY. I coupled it with a Cabela's Whuppin Stick. I had no problem pulling in a 14lb salmon. I will probably use this for surf fishing this summer and downgrade to a 3500 series Battle II next salmon season to save my wrists. All of the operations are butter smooth and the bail is nice and thick and has a solid flip to it. Everything about this reel is sturdy and strong. The drag system held up to the salmon and was also super smooth. I did use a scale to set the drag properly before going out to the river and this worked out tremendously. A bunch of other guys on the river would hook up and snap almost immediately. Just because you have a good drag system doesn't do anything if you don't set it correctly.

[@daleb2786]

Damn making me laugh

[@Toilet_ratings]

Looks like the big cup big bag Reesie’s worked better for you than Jacob

[@dexxgaming9519]

Dc quit trying to run around the boat that’s what that trolling motor is for

[@codysooill]

Why did he have to use the league boat?

[@DCFishing]

Heavy hitters is a league sponsored event and filmed for TV. So, league boats are wrapped with league sponsors same as my league jersey

[@LDeezy662]

Idk what kind of boat that is or how much they cost but by the look of the flex in that deck I guarantee they charging to much

[@DCFishing]

League owned basscat

[@scottburrow8717]

Take the penalty and deck that fish 17:02 you guys take way to long in my eyes to bring those fish in.

[@frankcouste4785]

Can you catch the same fish twice. I’m sure it’s unlikely for it to bite twice in a short amount of time but not impossible

[@DCFishing]

Yes it is possible. But like you said most of those largemouth will not bite again for a while and they get wise to the lures also.

[@frankcouste4785]

@@DCFishing thanks for the reply. Looking forward to seeing how the tournament turns out. Good luck

[@scottburrow8717]

Why do you use 12lb Tess when your fishing for giants??? Put some line on there that you can muscle them babies up in the boat.

[@DCFishing]

The fish on that lake are so pressured and have seen so many lures that you have to drop line size and bait to try and trick them into bitting

[@scottburrow8717]

Got ya.

[@plitz]

Just staring at a screen... Are we even fishing anymore?

[@DCFishing]

Staring at a screen or not you have to get them to bite and as you saw it isn’t easy

[@mikesturgill4846]

I thought that argument was over with. This is America…don’t like it don’t watch or don’t buy one.

Why a league boat

Heavy hitters is like a cup event and is a league sponsored event. Have to represent league sponsors

[@MJ-qx2xw]

That spinning crap isn’t for big bass.

[@DCFishing]

I beg to differ. When they are wise you have to downsize

[@MJ-qx2xw]

@@DCFishing Agree. I’m just saying you can muscle them a little with the bigger rigs but you do have to get them on the line first. 😂
