A $100,000 Decision for the WIN - MLF Stage 1 - Toledo Bend - Championship Day

This day is already starting off weird. We have a fog delay and we are going to miss that magical morning bite. All of the weights have been reset so it will be a sprint to the finish and I know some of my areas are no longer producing. I am going to have to make some game-time decisions.

[@feva4u]

That picture of you and the boys at the end says it all. Congratulations

[@BrocktheRock87]

Yea that is awesome!

[@garykoller441]

Come on dude, "too stressed out to eat a Big Cup", cracked me up!! Congratulations and keep it up DC, you're a wizard with a spinning rod!

[@markkendrick01]

#dcfishing should make that his KZbin Channel wallpaper because good friends is what really matters.

[@michaelrohde1112]

You almost got to 120 pounds. Heck, you almost lapped the field. Great to see you all together. True friends. One does well, you all celebrate. I imagine that’s rare in a competitive profession like yours.

[@deanlambole243]

Well done DC....you deserved that win and what a great photo of the 4 guys at the end

[@bigbreakfast1972]

Man, DC, I love the way you kept sending the little messages to Victoria and how you were getting choked up when they asked about the baby. Congratulations!! Well deserved.

[@theogoldguy]

I got to tell ya, I usually won't click on a KZbin video if it gets over 30 minutes. I loved every second of this video! I can't even imagine catching that many bass in a year.... I don't get out as often as I should, but I caught a ton of crappie at the Minnesota opener last year. We were just sight fishing them in the reeds... Congrats on your win! Keep those friends close! You are all great people!

[@k.c.gillespie1452]

Congratulations, DC! Dude working your scales didn't get in a hurry telling you what your fish weighed. I guess you're just going to have to tell them to make me your permanent weights and measures guy. Lol!

[@wannabefishing37]

I swear i was thinking the same thing! He was NOT in a hurry at all!

[@stonehorn4641]

Nor should he be in a hurry. His goal should be accuracy, not pleasing fisherman

[@user-gu8hf7rs2z]

This house is definitely blessed. Mdj, even if it's your 5th time. Lmao. Y'all rock, keep crushing it boyz!

[@TS1023TS]

I love when you guys all stay at the crib for championship day to celebrate if someone wins. Awesome friends.

[@alandavis8278]

I know you said Toledo Bend T one time was the number "1" lake to fish. Think of how many lakes here in Texas have held or do hold that - Toledo Bend, Sam Rayburn, Lake Falcon, Lake Amistad, Lake Fork, and now Lake O.H. View. Some others that give them a run at times is Lake Palestine, Choke Canyon, Lake Conroe and Lake Belton. "Let's freakin' go!!!! Ding" Let the Four Horsemen ride!

[@nikitakucherov5028]

You put the beat down on em! With active target those fish ain’t got a prayer

[@todddickinson3262]

Man I knew this was going to be an amazing year for you, and that was before I knew about you and your lovely wife preparing for a baby. You have worked your a$$ off to get where you are, and it’s so cool to see it paying off for you, especially to those of us that have been following you for years. Great start DC, now on to the next!!!

[@jamesmims5850]

50 pound bag in the third bout to happen lmao. What a day. 110 plus to add insult to injury loved it was so much fun to watch my guy destroy the field

[@jamesmims5850]

This is the best BEAT DOWN of all time. 50 plus in the third period was awesome.

[@ryancook9274]

Unreal bites on Toledo. Let’s gooo 2024 gonna be good.

[@tonypascale7754]

Both my boys won…DC takes Toledo and Scott Martin killed the O…what a great start to 2024

[@Lawn-Stewards]
