I Worked ALL WEEK for THIS... MLF Stage 3 - Lake Murray - Knockout Round

I have stayed in 2nd place for the whole group round of this tournament. Now it is time to reset the weight and have a 2-day tournament to decide a winner. I have been doing what I love the most and targeting groups of pre and post-spawners in points that are feeding on herring. Based on the forecast today should be great for me. Overcast, windy, and a chance of rain. Let's see what we can come up with.

I don’t guess it matters to y’all but as a viewer I love it when your official is cool and tries to encourage you when it sucks and celebrate with you when it’s kicking off… Crap day man but still, you are the #kingofding

[@thanhnguyenvan2298]

I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well kzbin.infoUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e , except that the anti-backlash setting had to be turned up almost all of the way to keep the "overcasts' ' down. I disassembled it, and found that if I potted some "shim washers" behind that anti-backlash magnet assembly, it got the magnets closer to the spool without rubbing, and I could get better control with about a 6 to 7 out out 10-Max setting. I also noticed that the handle shaft had some internal end play, maybe only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch, but it's still noticeable. If the anti-backlash and shaft tolerances were "tightened up" this would be a fantastic value. I've only used it for 4 days of fishing in a month's time, but I plan on keeping it.

That judge was chill, I was feeling that fist bump and clap after period one! That dudes a encourager! Straight Barnabas!

[@johnnyweaver1300]

That's one of the bad things about fishing, that there's days like this one, but at least you made some $ & got some good points, hope you win big on heavy hitters!👍🎣

[@scottburrow8717]

Just remember that a bad day of fishing is better then a day at work!!

[@thatfishingguy11b]

But this is his job so if he don’t catch em he don’t get a good check.

[@scottburrow8717]

@@thatfishingguy11b ya but if your job is fishing everyday it has to be a good job no matter if you get paid or not.

[@db9818]

[@Mossyoakboi11]

[@erokfishing]

That’s Lake Murray for you. It’s either on fire or a complete void. I was out there that day but only got a striper.

[@junior75605]

Big ups to the ref for being the hype man

[@Dark18095]

I gotta know because i also love PBJ, just how many PBJ you think you've had over the course of your fishing career since you started making it a staple? ^^

[@lenglee286]

Good stuff!!! keep on grinding!!!!!

[@wesshannah-hs3cm]

That reel was working overtime trying to get in to get to that first blow up that morning

[@lukechristopher8824]

Keep at it DC! I'm pulling for you🔔

[@garyderuiter1780]

You need to put that huge dip in dude it will change everything

[@nickfowler1468]

That lake likes that fished it a many of times

[@scottburrow8717]

You and Jacob must have ate out of the same box of cereal.

[@BassHead1322]

Man DC you just looked wore out at the end. Go home and recharge and regroup. We all have em. The tough fishing makes it harder when you don’t have the catches to top off your battery plus the way it started and the way it finished was a set up. Keep swinging brother. You’ll get back up and drop the hammer.

[@phillipbehan6799]

toledo bend buddy!

[@MercyTP]

keep grinding brother 🤘🏻

[@DFWdarin]

Shit today was cloudy and I stopped on my way home from work and got two two plus pounders but lost a freaking monster. Swirled on my lizard and didn't get the hook I mean it just bit it and took drag and I was like what the hell went to set the hook and then it just had the lizard I'm sitting there with a bare hook. Anyways good luck homie

[@fordraven5884]

Come out west or southwest DC

[@dennistidwell7188]

If you can't get fired up about fishing watching the Ding King hammer just pick another hobby..,...

[@dragsmoothfishingtv635]

I would be even more excited if I was the back boater guy in some tournament 🏟️ 😁🙏🏻 But yes its definitely exciting to watch the D.C., fish 🎣 on Champ 🥳💪🏻

[@outdoorswithjt6652]

If they would stop getting hydrilla out of the lake it would be a lot better.

[@erokraider1690]

It’s not hydrilla. It’s southern naiad.

[@camronking7947]

Yeah the game and wildlife came thru 10 years ago and wiped out ALL of the lillipads out of our creeks, the fishing changed, completely.. lilipads are JUST NOW coming back like they used to be

[@outdoorswithjt6652]

Years ago the lake was full of hydrilla. But they have taken it out. Bass fishing has declined seen then.

[@erokraider1690]

@@outdoorswithjt6652 yeah I was just saying that what they drew the lake down for this year was southern naiad. It was so thick you couldn’t get a lure through it or a boat.

[@YoungBlood-nd4oz]

dont play poker you got a tell / agitation = excessive spitting :)

HaHa i don't even want your fishing skills i just want to eat like you and still be that skinny
