I Had to Take a LIE DETECTOR TEST...

I got randomly selected to take a polygraph and I am happy about it. You heard that right, I am happy about it. I have been polygraphed a good bit in my life. On the local level, it usually means you had a good day but on the pro level, it means a level playing field for everyone. This is one of the best ways that we can keep the integrity of our sport and our league. Getting routinely polygraphed and knowing that everyone I compete against it also helps me have peace of mind that we are all following the rules to the best of our ability and that no one has more of an advantage then I do every time we go lines in.

[@garyderuiter1780]

I think it’s great that they do it. It keeps people honest.

[@greg76543210]

It’s inherently inaccurate.

[@timmytubow7651]

Sure as hell didn't keep Sprague honest

[@bradmcdaniel9675]

Man, the behind the scenes stuff like this is the best! Dont get me wrong, love the casting and winding them in too, but the behind the scenes stuff you boys are so good about sharing with us has become my favorite!

[@joshuagreen9048]

Great video. Had no idea this was a thing. Catch em all bro!! Good luck this year! 🍻

[@richardmajewski3815]

Love the honesty and if people can't appreciate your willingness to show this in an open book format too bad. I appreciate being able to follow along as you hit the tournament trial and your journey each year.

[@FullTimeFishing]

So excited to get on these prespawn bass. Hope you all catch your pb this year!

[@insaynfitness]

DC thanks for sharing 🎣 a great safety net to make sure no cheating going on ! Good luck this season 👍

[@SimonSays_]

I respect that they do that and if I ever won I’d expect the same treatment. I want people to know I won honestly. Well done DC!

[@jackburks9492]

Can't wait to see how this season goes for you, Jdub, Mark, and Adrian. I'm rooting for you DC 🛎

[@cindyfischer9542]

I’ve taken one polygraph in my life and it was for a job I applied for back in 1985, when that was the norm. If you have nothing to hide, you WILL pass. Always live with integrity and moral values, you will go far in whatever you pursue. Thanks for the vlog. It’s nice to know that there are measures in place to eliminate the cheaters to keep the integrity of the sport. Good luck in 2023!

[@mattsabatino8800]

Great information. I had no idea that you guys took polys. No hating here DC. I love the videos and I love your sense of humor. It is wacky like mine LOL

[@mrgumby3116]

I appreciate everything you show me on you videos and love that you dnt care about the haters man keep up the great fisherman you are.

[@LussiersPrideGunDogs]

I love the “sally nancy” voice 😂 it cracks me up talking about haters

[@alanpierschalla4296]

what DC is saying is very true. a couple of yrs ago, not knowing these rules, i approach one of favorite mlf pros and tried to steer him on my really hot bite at the moment on winnebago system. he quickly shut me down and advised me of the rules.

[@lpbass8369]

DC keep up the good videos bro. I would be nervous taking it .Got to do it of course.Crush them this year.

[@RandyHunt19]

DC I knew there was a reason you have the following you have and you just proved it why you have such a following…. honest as long as the day is you wouldn’t need a polygraph you see that but great on you for doing it and staying the pro you are. Keeping it real is what we like still waiting on the new truck video and new boat set up….🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@danjarvis4885]

DC I used to fish a lot of small tournaments here on lake Martin and I had to take a polygraph once. I was so nervous but after getting started it was all good. You know if you don’t have anything to hide you don’t have anything to worry about. Be safe and win alot

[@jerryvalentour164]

Always fun with DC.

[@daleb2786]

I'm not a hater, but I'm glad that you uphold the integrity of the sport! Continue keeping it reel🎣👍

[@sqeakyj07]

Good luck this year DC.

[@johnkiddle379]

I never knew you guys had to do this. I think it keeps the competition on an honest footing. Let's just hope they don't polygraph you on the use of the English language DC, I don't think they would be able to stop laughing long enough to get a result. Love your blogs you are a wonderful individual ❤️

[@dougsummers6387]

Polygraphy! Took em for 40 yrs working DOD! Does Victoria know bout the Harley? DING! Get em in Redcrest dude!

[@midwestangler]

Great video. Next time your in Florida go to Disney World. Good luck at red crest. Thanks for sharing.

[@randyrhymes923]

Integrity is doing the right things even when no one is watching. I enjoy watching your videos because you keep it real and have fun no matter what. I do have one suggestion and it may be something you have thought about. Get your wife involved in your videos. She’s a lovely lady and I believe she will help your channel grow. Now maybe that’s something you guys have talked about and she’s not wanting to do that. Fishing and family go together like peanut butter and jelly. Have fun and be safe this year DC.

[@DCFishing]

We have a channel called “reel small town” where we do just what you are talking about

Lol. Taken 30 or more. Piece of cake.

I’ve never read any comments nor have I ever commented. You had made me check them out though. About the poly test. I just know I’d fail that sucker when I’m 100% telling the truth. Good luck this year DC. I know it don’t mean a whole lot but you’ve got a fan in good o’ll West Texas.

If you caught a lake record drum or catfish at a lake, can you take it to weigh in? And would you

[@iluvjenni20]

I would say this to your face I would say this behind your back I would say this anywhere to anybody I have always thought and sensed from you that you are one of the good guys. And if I would think different I would say different.

I’ve been waiting for a episode like this , but I got a question what would it take for DC too take a subscriber out for day and jack a few ?

[@CULLCREWKENNELS]

Great video, if someone is hating on here it’s because they don’t understand integrity.

[@jeffstarkweather8247]

Ha ha ha. The “haters” are the ones that take the money at a charity Derb….. yea. Go get em DC. I’ll be on Norman for a Big Bass Tour event the week after you cats are there. Leave a few. Ha ha.

[@artslade125]

Unfortunately Florida wasn’t good to u this time , but it wasn’t for lack of knowledge because u are a hammer my friend ! Like the old saying goes “ There will be good days and there will be bad days “ ok I’d would word it differently “ there will be bad ass days on the water and there will be fucked up days as well, but any day on the water is better than a day at a job!” Ok DC good job wit da poly, now git ur ass ready for da big event coming up next cuz u are gonna kick some ass old buddy I can feel it coming! Tight Lines old buddy!

[@tomstclair961]

Very cool DC. Now get your butts over to Disney and take a few rods with you. Ha ha ha. Actually get Mickey and Goofey out there and teachem how to catch some frog fish and they can carry your tackle bag and rods around for you. Seriously though!! We want to see Mickey cast a revo with out bird nesting with those big ol hand gloves they wear. 😅😅😅😅😅 Or get Goofey to dive in and do the doggie paddle like a bird dog . 😅😅😅😅😅 I bet he goes straight to the bottom and has to walk out of the water with that big ol heavy costume on. I bet he comes up with coontail, dollar pads, and hydrilla all wrapped around him. Spitting out water like a water fountain adjusted way to high. 😅😅😅😅😅💪💪🐕‍🦺🐕🤣🤣🤣 Seriously though you should talk with the staff in there and do a couple of videos In there. Fly the family in for a day of fun and go fish for a day also. Rolland used to fish in there with Bill Dance, and Jimmy Houston. Did you ever watch their videos in there. They caught some Giants.. Hey!! all kidding aside though!! I wish you great success this year buddy. You guys have some great videos. I sense that your gonna kick some butts in April . Im just getting a good feeling about April for some reason.. Alright. Catchem up brah. 🎣🎣🎣💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@greghiday]

Interesting video. What happens if you fail? Has anyone failed the test? Is that what happened to JS?

[@todddickinson3262]

That’s exactly what I was wondering! LOL!!! I just wondered what the stages of the process are.

[@brandonelliott5345]

Ain’t nothing at Disney to see! Save your money!

[@jimmcculloch5825]

If it makes you feel good then I will say it: "I hate you." No I don't, I just hate that you catch big fish and I can't. Keep up the great video DC.

I’d like to see you fish choke canyon down in south TX!

[@mmitc2121]

I just want the juice on Martin. 👀

[@adamb306]

"Admissable in court" and how an organization can use a polygraph are very different. The world of law has a much higher standard for locking someone up for 20 years than disqualifying someone for a the outcome of a tournament. I'm glad they use them from time to time, obviously its easy to skirt the standards, but something is better than nothing.

[@tannersisson8952]

I started watching you when I learned that you went to school with some people I work with

It is called a rod coffin.

[@adzoutnabout8666]

I have been in Customer Service for 37 years and a Fisherman for 43 years. If I thought you were a cheat, I would of smelled it a mile off. Just call that the Aussie polygraph 🇦🇺

[@Ncbasspuller]

the only thing that i hear and see on social media is on the lakes by me (which are hartwell and lanier ) bigtime tournament locations ... is there is tournament guys booking trips with local guides ... the guides will not post pictures of thier faces holding the fish

[@Ncbasspuller]

kind a dont agree with doing this

[@jonnygranville281]

"We've got weights in fish!" Remember that? I almost forgot

[@mazzola930]

DC was sweatin like a gypsy with a mortgage when he heard about the graph Nah jk all this guy knows is how to ding em up

[@getstuffdonelandscapemaint1858]

So no putting weights in Bass? Lol. I feel so bad when a fish swallows a hook than when a person gets caught cheating. F bomb to the cheaters, and a hell yeah for the boys and gals that do it right

[@TheDedloc]

I want you to know that there is no such thing as a "high quality" polygraph test... and you have to understand what that guys job is. Of course he told you he teaches people how to read them... THATS part of the test Dustin lol he is setting the grounds for you mentally to feel like okay you cant try and "beat" him. I've seen lots and lots of interrogations and telling the person that is about to take the test that they have like this enormous ability to read the tests is SO common. Ur right the test is measuring every little thing about you, but they also have to establish a "base." I'm sure he asked you some questions that were easy to answer right? Then he probably asked you some that were suppose to be a little harder. A polygraph doesn't prove anything... it just proves that you solicited a reaction when asked questions. But you can be not guilty and still give a reaction. Happens all the time, friend. Polygraphs arent even admissible in court as evidence. It just so happens to be that ur organization accepts it as undisputable evidence I guess? I mean what happens exactly if you fail? Are you out for an entire season? For life? It's actually really scary that they even make you guys do that let alone take it to heart to possibly destroy peoples careers. If anything you guys should be really against it. Were talking about fishing here but how would you feel if you knew all of this now and were asked to take one for murder?! Bro, any person that has dedicated their lives to reading polygraph tests is an idiot. There is just no actual deeming evidence there that convicts you of doing something wrong. How do they know you dont just feel SO strongly about cheating that when you are asked about it you immediately get fired up... them asking you a question like were you born in 1990? Isn't going to illicit the same response. You can also do stuff like pinch urself or curled ur toes really hard during the baseline and skew it... giving urself a "buffer" in your responses. juuuuust saying lol but hey I'm only a 4 year biology major... what do I know.. lol

[@itwaslagiswear8511]

When he said "but" after the polygraphs arent admissible statement I knew it was gonna be some golden shit.. So youre telling me that courts cant afford a good polygraph person LMAO. Polygraphs are NEVER 100%

[@paulwest143]

Dishonest people will cheat. And they will be caught in time. A test won't stop that. I like the idea of the test because it's doesn't tempt honest anglers from pushing the line. I would like to believe most of us competitive anglers from weekend guys all the way to the pros. Want to win for the rush, cheating would rob you of that feeling.
