I Thought I was MAKING a HUGE MISTAKE! - MLF Stage 5 - Cayuga Lake - Day 1

It is time to put all the practice to work. Day 1 at Cayuga Lake starts now! I feel like I had a pretty good practice. I found what I needed to see but you just never know how it will play out on gameday. Either way, I am fully committed to my game plan, I just hope it pans out.

[@TexasWild]

I don't know why, but man I want to see this guy win. It's like watching your buddy fish; you want to see him do good things.

[@mackierose]

I completely feel the same way! I’ve never rooted for a fisherman harder than I do this guy and Brian Latimer

[@DCFishing]

I appreciate it. Means a lot.

[@CatchEmKing]

Heck ya dc and blat and Scott Martin

[@stephensellers4986]

1000 percent. Watching DC win is just a win for the good guys period.

[@cliffordyoung2909]

So weird you said that. Same.

[@ericappiah5235]

Final update: this little reel is the little engine that could kzbin.infoUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e . It performed flawlessly and was easy to adjust drag in the moment while I was battling a 35lb bat ray behemoth. Mind you, this reel is spooled with only 25 lb braid and 25 mono topshot. It's paired with the kastking telescopic heavy power rod and the two work well together. This has now earned my respect and confidence when traveling and fishing. If you have ever hooked into large rays and sharks, you know they pull extremely hard and can run forever! This thing clamped down on the fish and was easy to adjust during the fight. It has a nice decently fast retrieve as well. Twice the fish went on mad runs and I was able to gain back line quickly to avoid spooling.

[@tndlp6]

Man this dude fun as hell to watch! would be a blast to fish with him for a day 😂

[@bassinwithbennett8875]

9:11 DC turns into chewbacca 😂 this dude the funniest guy on earth i swear

[@isurfinsb]

"Great cast DC. I'm so proud of you." 😂 Dude is passionate. Absolutely love DC!

[@geromeclemons6640]

I live close to Cayuga lake. It's so much fun when you guys come here.

[@chadburris5267]

It would be a blast to hang out and fish with this crew for the week!👍🏻👊🏻

[@ericreader3984]

When you passed Wheeler and started laughing and jiving. I started laughing 😂 that’s why I love watching your videos. Just a positive person no matter what.

[@michaelforthepeople]

Strawberry bro!? Nooooo waaaaaayyyyy! Grape only!! 😂😂😂

[@ronaldhoneycutt37]

Huge fan here of the whole group! It would seriously be so cool if y’all all had your chest GoPros on during flip pong! We wanna see!!!

[@scottfrost8956]

DC: “We’re about to drop a big bag” Sadly everyone else “We are dropping records”

[@joshhoppes9487]

I look forward to watching every new video by far my number one guy to watch keep catching em DC What A Life

[@mattwillard]

[@jeffstory140]

[@johncolbert3709]

[@shanefarmer7193]

DC congrats dude!! Awesome win

[@dustinstoeckly6754]

DC you a big kid out there....what a liiiife

[@TCorvin4]

DC is going to make a whiplash rule happen with how that fish flew across at 11:03 🤣🤣

[@dashootertv1758]

Ready for the next vid ! Glad you dropped this one 😅

[@jesustorrez4520]

Seen your boy in Bay City mich on the sagnasty river he almost ran my lines over I screamed he was dah man ol mark Daniels Jr. Congrats bro on the weights 😊

[@A.S.I_FishingAlong]

Dude been watching your video/content, absolutely love it. Love the Entertaining and fishing!

[@chadhensley55]

Been waiting for this let’s goooooo

[@derekdoodahnickells5376]

Awesome Start DC it looks like a big bag Tournament you are the Man😎

[@nickwelch2998]

It’s crazy, I love most of the guys but I root for DC to win all of em. He’s seems just like me or someone I grew up with, that can also catch hammers everywhere. Seeing the emotion after his wins shows how much he puts into his craft and what it means to him.

[@mileshoffman4146]

Nice derb hammer watched it all on live..you seem to have a goodtime everytime on the water..congrats to your roomie

[@johnnyweaver1300]

You did make look easy big dawg, you put the hammer down on em, it seems that way every tournament, the first day is usually the best day if you found them in practice, lucky for you they are bedding & are not leaving & the wind was a lot calmer than it was in one of your practice days!🎣👍😎

[@TS1023TS]

AJ couldn’t guess how big they were either lol. Nice work DC! Good tourney.

[@richard4950]

Just subscribed watching all your videos keep up the good work bud and good luck

[@daviddavidson9563]

Love the camaraderie Thats a correct way to make a pb&j !!

[@aurora462]

Hi John I appreciate your fishing reports. I catch probably half of them and probably missed one that may have covered the process of what it takes to fish the Canada side as well as US side. I assume a Canada license is needed, but anything else? Can you cover that briefly on one of your episodes for those of us who make 1 or 2 trips to St Clair. Again, thanks for your reports.

[@dianebridges6256]

Great video!❤

[@JasonSullivanBigBass]

Dude you did good keep ya head up brother 💪 Ding

[@LimitedGunnerGM]

DC is always eating… in every video!

[@mattyjay8896]

LESSS GOO!!👊

[@prestonmire5509]

Awesome video Ding 🛎️ catching some donks

[@Lethal1160]

Man I can relate to this fully in the sense of "man this ain't even that big of a fish" yeah well, that's what I said when I caught my 6 1/2 largie a month ago too lmao

[@bradefulle7732]

Love the vids

[@justinchristensen3602]

Love ya bud!

[@Bohlzy]

Watch them fingers on that PB&J! Makes them sticky and grimy. However it appears to be your secret. Nice job on the Tourney man! Keep it up! Next time try grape and you will have the superior recipe 😉😉.

[@KyleStjohn-lu6ew]

Best mlf fisherman

[@crankintanks2092]

Let’s go big cup

[@brianrounding4258]

I know money is involved... but a behind scenes bet between DC and JW on who could catch the better bag on the others set up would be fun

[@camronporterr]

DC you should come fish with me on kentucky lake

[@gabrielhaggard7333]

bro if u don’t fully do this challenge this time i’m done with em 😂

[@patrickmiller684]

Looks like that canadian wildfire smoke was making it weird out there too

[@k.c.gillespie1452]

Come on DC!!!! I literally pull for you all the time. You just said I can't see them! Do you seriously need to see every bass you catch?!

[@DCFishing]

The key with this is the fish has to be hooked in the mouth to count and I don’t want to accidentally set the hook and not have that fish count. I need to make sure that it actually has it

[@k.c.gillespie1452]

@@DCFishing I'm sorry, man!!! I'm not a pro like you! Now...go get their asses!!!

[@todddickinson3262]

Is that Newell in the boat behind you when you caught your second and third fish? Haven’t finished the video yet, so if you answered this already, my bad… Oh, and you’re still the #kingofding 😊

No that is Garrick the takes photos for the league

What was the whole setup you were using for your drop shot? Man I want to fish you on Cayuga in the worst way.

[@CarsonHinson2]

@00:18 why not put the jelly on the other piece of bread? just curious? lol

[@MisoJuice]

Did you see that one guy just caught a 9lb smallmouth on Cayuga yesterday? Same smallmouth he caught last year and it was only 8lb

[@MisoJuice]

1/2mile apart he said from where he caught it last year. He had a 33# bag yesterday

Because most of the fish I had marked were where I started

You did it wrong. You will get more clicks by doing it this way “ Titling Your Videos LIKE THIS Doesn’t Make Us Want to Watch MORE!”. In all seriousness analytics say otherwise
