I Made A BIG MISTAKE - MLF Lake Okeechobee Invitational

[@TS1023TS]

First ding of the year! Yup!! Tear it up this year man

[@bigbreakfast1972]

One of the easiest guys to root for on any tour in any sport. Keep your head up and keep casting!

[@rogerglasco5941]

Mark, put it behind you and keep going. This is Roger in Babson Park, Fl. My wife and I watch all your videos and huge fans. You are a GREAT fisherman and don't ever forget that. Sometimes bad things happen to good people. It is the life we live. It is how we handle it when it happens. Me included. That is what counts. God bless you and your family. I will pray for you. We are blessed to know you. You would always be welcomed in our home.

[@barefoot.bandit]

Even though you made a huge mistake you put on a show on how to fight fish in the grass. If any of y'all want to know what a PRO looks like fighting fish to the boat this is how it's done period. Love the videos glad you got you a camera man for more and better videos this year can't wait to see the MLF events.

[@trevorschneiderfishing]

9:38 yooooo! That tippy toe hook set! LFG!

[@dinkfishing7135]

Mark,It was awesome meeting you at Lake Toho.. Thanks for the pic. Truly appreciate you taking the time to speak with me..I wish my wife had been with me. Good luck the rest of the year!! Curt

[@secure152]

It takes a lot of guts to admit your mistakes and then talk about it to everybody. It’s this type of content that is absolutely invaluable to the everyday aspiring bass angler. Keep up the great work and know that a lot of us are pulling for you big dog! Go get Em!! 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@mikehigh4321]

[@robertdouglas9345]

Good Luck and God Bless!

[@robertkruppenbach4791]

It's good to show the good with the bad. It shows your real. Could happen to anyone

[@robertevans3649]

It happens MDJ. I’ve brought more than 5 to the scales before and also dumped a coanglers fish while transporting to the bag. I love your attitude and positivity. This sport has really deep hi’s and lows and the best way to manage that is with a good attitude. Great videos - keep ‘em coming and good luck from the CA delta.

[@791482]

Let's get it 💪🏾, this your year dawg

[@c.l.freshwaterfishing3680]

That hook set on the frog is crisp! Keep snatching them MDJ!!!!💪💪

[@danjarvis4885]

Man you are absolutely right. We’re just human and as such we are not perfect. All we can do is strive to do better. Your a great fisherman and ambassador to the sport. I really enjoy watching you and your bros. Keep fishing and keep making the vids. Good work. Thanks buddy. Be safe.

[@philiph1802]

Hey man great job! Really enjoy your positive attitude and outlook. The 5 fish thing is just something you will get use to. Just sucks that you threw #5 back but you are a shallow water guru and will kill at the next one.

[@Playaj711]

Keep your head up boss you can catch em 💯

[@curtisbohall122]

Good luck Hoping you catch 85 lbs out another spot.

[@michaelking6519]

AT lest u recognized possible what to correct under the same set of circumstances,which can be a whole lot of variables Time of year water Temps moon phase Baits to throw what time of day. Wind directions cold fronts post frontal Warming trend 😃 yeah & feeding fish is the favorite

[@1jimif]

Upgraded a 1.63 for a 1.67, but weighed in 4 fish? Was that showing of the mistake you made? OK, I'll wait for the video but couldn't help but notice that. Good luck and I'm rooting 4 you to win one soon....jimi

[@eddievarnesfishing8495]

That’s going to sting for a while. No way around it, but brighter days ahead. Push forward and grind. When I’m down I think of the Shriners commercials and disabled vets. That will put it where it needs to be. Tight lines.

[@bradefulle7732]

Love the vids

[@bradefulle7732]

Ca for the win on the Tules argument

[@dendy7791]

I saw that spy balloon over your shoulder on day two. lol

[@dendy7791]

MDJ did you get hacked? Don't know what this prize business is about.

[@jason21nl]

Has to be throwing back fish number 5 thinking you already had it. Brutal! But a guy like you will own it and kill it going forward!

[@bayoustateoutdoors9650]

Anybody else love the bird sounds in background, it’s a jungle out there…..

[@sammo8556]

💪🏾👊🏾

[@nzxN8]

Tough break big dog

[@halmiller6834]

Sounds like something I would do.

[@D0peSince85]

Man I watched the other video…heartbreaking…BUT we reset and make the next pond pay 💪🏾

[@dipster14]

That was a bummer bro.

[@joshjohnson3352]

I swear on tracker at the end of the day they had you had 0 lbs. I was like damn then they had you at 20 lbs on day 2.

[@davidpowell9631]

What has happened to allow you guys to go and fish by yourselves on tournament days ?

[@thistledewoutdoors3331]

So what happened - You threw away a fish when swapping the 1.63 for a 1.67 instead of keeping it & it Left you with 4 fish instead of 5 ???

[@nethiabrown1508]

Cuz you are putting that frog to work.

[@nikitakucherov5028]

Omg you were culling and then only weighed 4…. I was like WTF??? There is only two possible scenarios that I can think of, somehow one was lost, jumped out of your hands or the bag as you were transferring them to weigh or somehow your scale miscounted how many you had in the box. I can’t think of any other possibility. I don’t even think a dead fish is an explanation as that is only a one pound penalty. I also ruled out too short as a 1.5 pounder is certainly plenty long enough. I can’t wait to hear what happened but I feel bad for you MDJ 😢

[@pattheesmkid]

Jeez I miss rippin a frog right now.

[@chriscabral4342]

I had a foot fault cost me a world championship. We bounced back. Live to fight another day

[@keithoehmigen1057]

Ding

[@tombrown7577]

It's hard to figure why people around you are getting big bites and you don't. Is it the lure, the size of it, color of it, the retrieve, etc. That's fishing. Hopefully things will change course for you at Kissiimme.

[@trophybowhunter1]

And now I know why you only weighed 4

[@notsogood6249]

Okay you made a mistake and lost a little bit of money. Put it behind you and move on to your next tournament. Make up the lost money at the next tournament.
