This Place is LOADED! - MLF Stage 3 - Dale Hollow Lake - Day 1

After only a day and a half of practice, a new baby, and very little sleep it is time to hit the water. I feel pretty good about what I found in practice but I haven't seen the water in 3 days and a lot could have changed. My plan is to fish free and set the hook as often as I can. I expect mega numbers out of this fishery.

Congrats DC! Welcome to fatherhood. All of your life will change from this point on and no trophy you win will ever mean as much as the reward of your child’s smile. I know it changed my life and I am excited for you and your wife to reap the same love and happiness that only comes from a child. Cheers my boy!

[@Bass-Reeve]

Why DC is not up shallow? " They ain't coming." 😂

[@scottsteinkirchner]

Great job DC. I did get a 9lb 30" walleye mounted. Will never get another fish mounted will be a replica if ever again.

[@DetroitFishigan]

😂 DC crazy with that Walter, that fish got smaller and smaller when they all got closer to the boat. That dice 🎲 game was crazy, better get a dice 🎲 tower to do rolls for that type of money 😂. Thank for sharing that cool experience with us Brett and DC 💯🍻

[@branchs23]

Congratulations to you and the wife on the new little boy DC, you’re about to be an unbelievable father. Also what a damn Walleye that would be a great one up here on Erie or Oneida

[@andreaseichmann-qu5zx]

Oregon Boy here n I ain't never heard of that game but of course it was hilarious. Grats on healthy family with the new young buck. Don't worry , it's like tourney fishin ya just wing it 😁 megaladom 6lbs wally was great too 🤠 Don't stop Won't stop Bud!

[@Fishin_Carolina]

[@catfishcommandodavid7330]

Awesome video! I grew up not far from dale hollow. Caught my pb smallmouth there 4lbs. 5 oz.

[@24bhyn]

Fun to watch these after it's ll over. I watched you guys take out on Thursday and Friday (so saw you Friday). I watched Live all day at Cumberland while striper fishing. It would sleet on us then 10 minutes later JT would say it's sleeting on Dale.

[@michaelrohde1112]

Limited practice/ prep time and you still finish in the top 7. You sir are dialed in this season.

[@Stiksfishingchannel]

This place holds the state record Smallmouth and omg what a smash fest, honestly, I first started watching Jacob videos daily and I went over to the dark side with DC Fishing!! 🎣🎣 Tight lines!!

[@waterdog3978]

World record too

[@shawnmartin8422]

Nice Walleye bro!

[@Ihs.333]

DC DA GOAT

[@Jdavenport85]

[@rogerglasco5941]

You guys are something else. Enjoyed this video. It looks like Adrian needs to go to the bank. It was not clear on how much you won. Oh well. It was fun watching.

[@tomstclair961]

Great video bro! 😅😅💪💪🇺🇸😎💯

[@michaelsanchez3659]

DC morphing into Shaw Grigsby when he catches a bass😂

[@tompindell4243]

26 1/4 inch eye, NOW you're catching good fish!! LOL. Their teeth won't cut your line like a pike will, we catch them on jigs all the time, can't wait to try the mooch minnow for eyes, nice day DC, it's your week man!! DING!!!

[@jbest1980]

This guy is a 🔨

Dang you and the Marshall rocking the same hair cut brothers to another mother lol. Congrats on baby boy.

[@AngelGarcia-5BignsFishing]

DC, you didnt even have to lock the Crocs in 4WD. LOL!!! #D3

[@prestonmire5509]

Awesome

[@ericreader3984]

Awesome job bud😊but if I catch a walleye and a crappie, I’m keeping them both and having a feast 😊

[@adzoutnabout8666]

Love your work DC, and great edit Brett 👌 Can somebody buy Mark a big burger or steak cause the melons are just not getting the job done.

[@chadhensley3397]

My buddy was there I wish I could have made the 4 hour drive to be there great tournament I won’t give up any details 😂

[@denisgoulding4004]

class skills

[@bryanbellamy8392]

😂😂😂 Mark said trash 😂😂

[@scottburrow8717]

14:22 oozing with confidence. This is your tournament to lose go get them.

[@chaseindec]

Mark gotta win a tourny now to get that money back! 😂

[@wvlongshooter3912]

Thank you for this awesome content, I mean it !! I wish somehow you could put the ffs screen in the video. I love forward facing sonar and I’d much rather watch you guys fish this way over fishing the bank. Thanks !!

[@DCFishing]

We have been working on it. The logistics of recording the sonar for the 9 hour tournament day is a challenge

[@wvlongshooter3912]

@@DCFishing I bet!!! Thanks!!

[@ufcguruofficial]

17:37 Respect #AMART

[@drh488]

Headed there next week. Wonder if you would be kind enough to share what bait the smallies seemed to hit best on?...technique used?

[@MarkW69]

There’s no doubt DC can catch them. But I haven’t heard anybody mention the size limits on this lake during a normal tourmament. Almost all those smallmouth he caught wouldn’t count in a BFL there. The size limits given to these pro definitely made the lake look awesome.

[@DCFishing]

That is what made this lake so interesting. We are catch weigh release so we could target the small mouth that typically aren’t targeted in a weigh in tournament

[@MarkW69]

Yep, and I know it’s a blast. I’ve fished tournaments on that lake for years and it’s so frustrating throwing back 18-21” smallmouth because they aren’t big enough. You end up throwing back 3 and 4 lbers! Good job, congrats on the baby! Glad you all loved the lake. One of my favorites!

[@clintonvanrijsbergen5017]

Lip reapor lols what a round amazing work love your energy brah yus u crack me up if ever u in south Africa hit me up I've got some slab dams with monsters in to play around with

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

Great day DC 👊 hey y'all ever played LIARS DICE?? it's a board game funniest game there ever was they don't even make it anymore I think you still bit it online it's takes a little more time the more players the more time it takes damn it's fun though

[@scottfrazier131]

I was screaming at my tv when you caught that walleye! I was afraid you were going to turn it loose! If you would have turned it loose I was going to unsubscribe from the channel! lol. Rule #4 in my boat, never release a walleye. Legal or close to legal they go home! Got A Mighty what a life!

[@Wolf-vc4wj]

Need to bust out the ship captain crew or horse races next in your dice games.

[@DFWdarin]

DC I'm serious when you coming to Dallas hit me up. I put you on some begins and I ain't talking about using the Ford facing sonar to find them either I know where they're at. So the offer still open and I guarantee you have a great time.

Big dogs gotta eat baby 🤙🏼

12:55. Right side about 50' out.

I didn't know you could keep other fish. That's awesome. Why not keep the crappie too?

We already had too much crappie at the house
