The MOST EPIC Late Day Find EVER - 2022 MLF Stage 3 Smith Lake -Knockout Round

The wind is still a factor today. It will be a challenge to skip docks but that is what has gotten me this far in this tournament. I really don't think that is a winning deal but I am hoping if I keep searching long enough I will find that magic area that a group of fish is on and give myself a shot at making it to the championship round and potentially winning this tournament.

[@todddickinson3262]

Love it when an official actually talks and encourages the fisherman he’s in the boat with.

[@nikitakucherov5028]

Best offical ever, ready with the scale, words of encouragement

[@nathanthao6667]

Poor guy got his fist bumped swerved by DC too lol

[@twitchbuckeyekidd1703]

Atta boy dc but you left ol boy hanging big time with the fist bump 😂

[@paulstevens6944]

Congrats DC! Well earned! My favorite angler to watch! I am a 54 year old from Wisconsin and I cried when you won Redcrest. Going to come up to try to meet you at Mille Lacs in September.

[@charliehendrix1265]

It cracked me up when he left the official hanging 😂

[@SeabearFishing]

Takes off with a clean front deck. 5 minutes in and rods are laying everywhere🤣 if that isn’t me, I don’t know what is. Awesome job, DC

[@jamesc.murray5932]

"We can easily have a twenty pound period.", said DC to the MLF Official, before the start of period three of the Knockout Round...lol!!!!!! Prophesy, DC. Pure prophesy.

[@jessevowell6103]

Dc , since i know you won that one , i will make a little joke 😜: You are faster delivering the video when you are whining then when you are winning 😂😂😂, really happy for you for that win 🥇 🥇😜💪🏻😎

[@DCFishing]

A lot of behinds the scenes stuff has slowed us up a bit

[@azheathunter-1589]

3rd period take-off was absolutely superb!!! #stylepoints

[@rayanderson8465]

Missed fist bump gave me a laugh.

[@ricardoborralho9421]

what spinning reel DC use?

[@jefferyholland]

What a honey hole. Congrats.

[@eddie1123w]

Congrats on the win that was awesome!!! I have a quick question though what would you rig on a summit 7’2” mh casting rod

[@jessevowell6103]

I’m not Dustin but I think that rod could do a lot from all jigs to under-spins to Texas rigs to small glide baits

[@eddie1123w]

@@jessevowell6103 that’s what I was thinking I just got it and I have a lot of rods and I really didn’t plan it out on what I should use it for because I bought it on impulse 😂😂😂 but thanks for the heads up!! I’ll definitely throw a jig on it love jigs just usually use a 7’6 heavy for that. Give er a rip see what happens

[@backwaterbasics6386]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZDcaYSDq62Artk

[@DCFishing]

It is a really good jig rod

[@kipcarroll5644]

Love it

[@jimmcculloch5825]

Great finish DC. Who do you think you are, JDub?

[@mikebailey2119]

Dc, congratulations on your 2nd win on the MLF tour. I'm coming to meet you at the Redcrest championship on Grand lake. Will you be at the expo on your off days? 🎣🐟

[@DCFishing]

I am not sure of the specifics yet but I will be there some

[@julianjayy3415]

18:40 I feel bad that he got left hanging

[@Suhdude13]

How you gonna leave him hanging @18:41 lol

[@nayacain]

I see you DC😎

[@r.k.s.spleinair]

All right!

[@1167wa]

Damn that boat official. Didn’t seem like a one person team out there today.

[@DCFishing]

Loved having him in the boat. Super positive guy

[@Mjones8383]

DC, I've always wondered if you fish the same places and for the same time as you would in a 5 fish tournament. I feel guys target large schools of smaller fish other than finding big fish. Could you answer

[@DCFishing]

No, totally different game plan for a 5 fish tournament vs this MLF format. You have to target the larger schools. You always hope to find large fish in those schools but it is a numbers game in the end

[@davemarty5927]

Are you using your active target in front mode most of the time or scout?

[@DCFishing]

Front

[@jasonlong3929]

Great decision making

[@crobassin6942]

Damn bro You didn’t give the official his fist bump

[@Mossyoakboi11]

DC what’s your “go to chew” during a tournament

[@bourbonbassin2573]

Hammer

[@flipmoto1]

IS that tool hit mounted down. Everytime I see it I'm like is that gonna fly off the back?

[@DCFishing]

Yes that is an MLF stat unit

[@austinrichardson433]

Deff best official for sure
