This ALMOST RUINED My WHOLE Day (James River Day 1)

Day 1 on the James did not go as planned. I miss played the tide and it costed me. I tried to take a shortcut mid day and that almost ended badly with my day completely ruined. Luckily that 250 Merc got us out of there! Looking to make a comeback day 2.

Keep pushing. I know it hasn't been the best this year but I wanted to say that I appreciate your content.

[@mikekirby4868]

Out of all the officials I’ve watched, I’ve enjoyed Mrs Renee the most. Great personality and shares positive vibes in the boat!

[@JustFishingTV]

Glad that was mud. I rain out of water on the Columbia and it was noting but rocks. Spun my prop. Glad you were able to pull out of that spot. Make it happen tomorrow! Get'em Bro.

[@balamont1150]

Those shoes MDJ was sporting are Columbia Creeksiders in the color SeaSalt. Just in case you wanted to grab a pair! ❤

[@rdonner28]

Man!!! Getting stuck shallow is my BIGGEST FEAR!!!! How in the HECK were you not slinging mud all on yourself backing up!!!!!! Incredible work man!!! I was puckered up the entire time!!!!! Wait!!!! I’m at the end now and see you were throwing mud everywhere!!!! Still a good job D1 vs adversity bro!!!!!

[@warren6172]

Holy Water Pump!! I don’t know how you guys can risk your motor like that.

[@egomaniac247]

I really like the weighing format of this tournament/series.....puts the fish right back where they came from

[@dutchdaniels]

Let's go MDJ! Rooting for you brother!

[@leeannamaiyang5495]

I couldn't agree with you more. And that's why I love watching his videos.

[@TangierFly]

I was feeling your pain when you ran out of water. That’s tidewater creek fishing. Been there done that. When you see that bottom coming up you know if you drop it off plane the bottom’s gotcha. Sometimes you make it, sometimes you don’t. The mud saved you. I’ve done it on hard bottom. Great video as usual MDJ. Be pulling for you on the St. Lawrence!

[@1970pdavis]

Tough tournament, dude, keep dude and stay focused. Your win is coming

[@benbrownlow5007]

4Wheel drive Ranger!

[@devinnichols6057]

Win, lose, draw, I’m watching you fish mark.

[@BruceGibson-ku1pz]

I'm surprised you missed and played the tides all wrong? We both grew up on the same delta water and I always had a tide book with me. You got damn lucky on the mud bank, glad to see that. Looking forward to watching day 2's results. I'm sure you learned quite a lot from day 1!

[@scottshaffer770]

I thought you were going to shoot the gap between those two grass clumps :). Getting stuck is the worst...especially when the tide is still going out.

[@robertholt6606]

That was a little hairy 😳!! I have a suggestion for the next rate the bait sunglasses and best all around color of lens

[@AndrewGarnerAdventures]

That tide is real. I docked my boat, went to go get the truck and my boat was sitting 3’ below the dock where I left it. That was on the St. Jones River

[@jeremiahcox4256]

Imma need you to go head and quit messing around and win one. Put it on em MDJ.

[@rudegunner5661]

Keep at it MDJ, Pro fishing is definitely a tough sport.

[@hookfynn82]

got stuck like that during practice for the cal delta MLF down in tracy. never happened to me before. i was scared shitless when it happened lol

[@bigteeist]

Keep your head my brother looks like everybody day was a little rough

[@johnnyweaver1300]

You handled that boat super good when you beached it, that was quick thinking, that water was dangerous if you think about it, if you were to fall in, it would have been like quick sand, because that pushing pole went down over 5ft, sorry that you didn't have a good day, that tide would be hard to deal with for sure! Happy 4th of July 👍🎣

[@CichlidForce504]

Excellent Boat handling, cool as a cucumber.

[@user-lq1yb6uz1o]

That sucks. I fish shallow saltwater in Florida and I haven't had that happen. But u handled it well u definitely have experience. The only thing u did wrong was taking another route. That's a big heavy boat too. That mud creates suction makes it worse

[@NickyRoads]

The truck told him 40lbs not possible.

[@Chiefdixon]

It would have been hard to for someone to get back to you and pull you out. Lucky 🍀

[@garysanderford1572]

All you can do is laugh about it and that's why they call it fishing.Still the best fisherman in my book Mark go get them next tournament

[@team-fishaholics9549]

Aye MDJ Next flip pong game the looser has to catch their first fish when lines in on a toy rod .. like a scoobie doo or SpongeBob rod

[@miken7275]

Great video, thanks for posting Mark. So what is the minimum weight for the bass to be scored. .

[@NickyRoads]

1 pound 8oz

[@seanthomas8487]

Idk why BPT starts tournaments so late.

[@nsim33.]

First one big dog!

[@charliejackson9988]

MDJ love your videos man if I was a marshall I'd get a penalty for helping you out with the stuck boat I couldn't watch you work your ass off and not help!!

[@nathanmiller2521]

Crazy how you were able to get the boat out of the mud. I totally thought mdj was gonna crush this tourney since he grew up out here in cali on the delta. Seemed to fish similar with tides.

[@garysanderford1572]

This James River in Virginia

[@nathanmiller2521]

@@garysanderford1572 yea, it seems to fish similar as the ca delta.

[@user-ld2cy8wt9b]

I have a question not to do with fishing, what shoes are you wearing on the boat they look good and comfortable?

[@garysanderford1572]

Columbia Creeksiders

[@jessevowell2554]

What’s your flipping setup man? Thanks

[@sidneyjones9119]

Wat you get out of a Jam brother 😊

[@garysanderford1572]

Can you send me a pair of those Creeksiders? Thanks

[@along44ride]

was that a Lewis ATV ?

[@seandarling444]

What are those shoes you are wearing that look like crocs

[@roziershaun7243]

Columbia creeksider

[@seandarling444]

Are those crocs ?

[@gregunderwood5566]

She wanted to know everything 😂

[@jessevowell2554]

She’s probably asking because when she puts in the weight on the score tracker, she puts the technique that the fish was caught with. But I could be wrong.

[@gregunderwood5566]

@@jessevowell2554 I know the weight and everything but asking about every stump or twig is crazy to me I guess there is no secrets in mlf lol
