Rolling the Dice up the River - MLF Stage 2 Cherokee Lake - Knockout Round

[@DavidMccallister65]

Oh snap! DC hopped in the Hot Tub Time Machine and wrecked the smallmouth!!!🤣😎🇺🇸

[@benrednour3797]

The DC rant at the end was great!! Lol 😂

[@jesustorrez4520]

Ding bro I'm glad you survived. You get to take another breath keep it going Broski and broskis. Good luck.

[@datdude_jcole9275]

Roll tide brother! Big DC fan here and admire your enthusiasm

[@richardmajewski3815]

Not every day on the water is awesome, and letting us come along with you shows just how hard fishing can be in the early part of the year.

[@lancemabry6707]

Sorry DC, you’re just wrong sir. Cherokee is in the top 5 of Southern smallie fisheries. If you had more than 10 hours on the lake you’d see that but hey, you got to catch em wherever you go… Love the tournament videos as always. See you on the next one

[@jeremiahlamb7452]

Hope y’all get a chance to do the creek videos again this year, enjoyed those!!

[@bobfreeman4901]

So glad i finally met you and your wife at the classic ! makes me like these videos even more.

[@AaronKellerFishing]

Always love the tournament videos! Keep up the great content DC!

[@OUTDOORSMANUSA]

Nice meeting you today Dustin! Good Luck on Lake Murray!

[@benbenko5195]

Watch all the time DC!! Good luck going forward!!

[@adzoutnabout888]

Tough day at the office mate, but thats Fishin. Onwards and upwards, stay safe 😎🇦🇺

[@johns3292]

Some days you're the statue, some days you're the pigeon. Carry on gentlemen, we'll keep watching.

[@derekdoodahnickells5376]

DC the best Lake that i ever fish for Smallies is Saint Clair and Dale Hollow my Favorite🐟i growed up Cumberland Lake🐟

[@hunterjarnigan7220]

Cherokee use to not be a small mouth lake till Mayb 8 years ago then the small mouth just started to take over. It was always mostly largemouth. It’s just now starting to level out again

[@daleb2786]

that was Damn cold ass days, love the content and as always Roll Tide DC!!!

[@michaelwillis4532]

Even Mike Tyson got his ass knocked out once. Shit happens,beer is cold,wife is amazing,family is amazing, friends are amazing,food is amazing. You’re always in the top 10 with that going for you. Well deserved DC!

[@blvfishing]

I love your videos and hope to fish at your level one day!! Currently fishing high school tournaments.

[@kentuckytrapper780]

March 17 2024 got a tournament there, catch'um up DC..

[@johnnyweaver1300]

That was some miserable conditions to have to fish in, when the fish are used to current & there is none, not much biting is going to happen, you get an A+ for trying though, that dinner sure looked good 👍🎣

[@todddickinson3262]

Man, I’ve been watching you long enough to know that you are a competitor, and not winning is tough for you. But I’ve definitely seen so much growth and maturity in how you handle the tourneys that didn’t go the way you hoped. It dawned on me watching y’all in the hot tub, that I think what’s really evident in your outlook these days is that you’re unabashedly grateful, and you know what you have, not only in your wife, but in your extended family of the other guys, and that you’re making a great living doing what you dreamed of and worked so hard for. Gratitude is a blessed attitude brother, and good things come to those who appreciate their blessings, whether they’re holding a trophy, or moving on to the next opportunity. You’re a great inspiration to the young guys coming up, and you’re a great angler that I’m proud to be a fan of. Good luck next week man. #kingofding

[@prestonmire5509]

The man DC fishing catch some big ones

[@256bassfishing]

I beg to differ that below Wilson Dam sucks during summer or just warm water months for smallies. You take that back DC! 😂 I live just off Pickwick Lake and I'll catch smallies all year round. Just to prove you wrong, I'm going to start posting all my smallie catches this summer on IG and tagging Brett so he can show you all those doggone catches to prove a point. 😝

[@jprizzle2604]

I grew up in Florence and catch the hell out of smallies year tound

[@breikowski]

I know how it turned out and was still rooting for ya! Tough week for sure, keep your head up, it’ll work out!

[@stephensellers4986]

“Traaaaaaaaaaaash” 😂😂😂

[@catfishcommandodavid7330]

Got my pb smallie on Dale Hollow at night in the summer

[@myronhigh3527]

You can't win'em all buddy, or they will think your cheat'n!!! LOL!🤣 BEST OF LUCK on the next one, and God Bless all!!!!!👍🤗🙏

[@youknoit1980]

The is for showing you chew zyn I always wondered

[@owenhall08]

Let's go DC

[@jessevowell2554]

DC, I got a tournament on watts bar next weekend got any suggestions for lures ? The water will probably be 4-7 feet clear and pretty warm. Thanks

[@jprizzle2604]

Spinner bait, the fish go in stages in East Tennessee, jerkbait and a rig, then spinner bait. I promise you put a spinner bait in your hand and don’t put it down

[@tommypeters4197]

I've been fishin cherokee all life we have 4/5 Smallmouth all over lake ..Can't come here think.you know it all your full of it

[@talsonloeak7002]

What up DC.

[@daleb2786]

i wish MLF live would let us follow our favorites during the tournaments

[@neilbonefishing]

You could always go the Mike Long route and snag them 😂 ⚓🐟

[@luke__miller]

Jacob knows. Dale Hollow (KY/TN border) and Lake Cumberland (KY) - both solid small jaw fisheries

[@davidhenderson1738]

DC look in to Salomon gortex boots. You won’t regret

[@joelensminger]

Ole poche caught some smallys lol

[@DCFishing]

In a place only his rig could go

[@thundertruck78]

Don't sleep on the dropshot playboi

[@user-ng6py9tu9l]

Any current up there?

[@DCFishing]

I’ll say it again. There ain’t no current up here

[@tryptaman4315]

If Ott was there, there’s a reason 😂

[@DCFishing]

The issue is he knows where every rock is and I ain’t trying to destroy this boat

[@daleb2786]

Hey DC weighing is free lol

[@joebuda7900]

Tell J Dubbs u trying to float in the hot tub and have a drink with your wife! Dude 3rd "wheeling" you!! He got to GOOOOO Esp after a rough derb, you need the wife to make you right!

[@smackyobassfishing7737]

Take a shot every time he says there ain’t no current

[@tonymesser7401]

If you want to catch smallmouth on cherokee if you ever come back stay down the lake. I like your videos but just because you didn't smash em don't mean the lake socks. But if your ever around here and have free time go to south Holston best smallmouth lake ever and as good as you are with panoptics you would love it. God bless and stay safe

[@jprizzle2604]

I catch a lot bigger smallies at watauga, but I also fish that lake 4 days a week and south holston the other lol

[@tryptaman4315]

I love DC but he ran up the river without knowing if they’re generating? That’s almost hard to believe

[@waterdog3978]

It’s fairly tricky to extrapolate how long it takes to get from FPH dam to where he was

[@bassnbuckbillyb824]

Agreed TRAAAAAAAAAASH!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

[@codyison4074]

Sorry buddy I really like you but id have to disagree with you on Cherokee smallies its my home lake you was at the wrong end should have been closer to the dam and fished the humps and bluff walls ive won several big tournaments with 18lbs+ of just browns there

[@cherokeelakeguy2386]

No the river is very good it was just a little to early for the fiberglass guys.

[@scottcameron3559]

Your kidding 360 forward facing sonar all the imaging screens what has happened, head down boys,ban that shit

[@DCFishing]

Those who don’t know how to use it want it banned and the ones that know how to use it understand that it is a tool and not a magic bullet

[@073286]

​@@DCFishing found the boomer in the ommnets. You passed a big rock Bluff up river where I caught a double digit largemouth, so the big girls are there. It's better known for hybrid, whitebass and walleye though in that stretch of river.
