This Place is MASSIVE - MLF Stage 5 Chowan River - Travel Vlog

We are going to the Chowan River for Stage 5 on the Bass Pro Tour. I have never been here before but have heard good things. Can't wait to see what all the fuss is about and get to hand out with the boys.

[@angrytrucker420]

Well Dustin, welcome to what it's like traveling with my wife. She KNOWS about everything I THINK I know about. 😂

[@NCshooter1213]

Chowan is a pretty place and has some good fishing. Im further down south, and we have a few good rivers down here in southeastern nc. Kinda nice seeing the big dogs hit some places that arent as well known on the tours. And BTW, North Carolina folks call it E-denton. Emphasis on the E

[@JasonSullivanBigBass]

A well digger came and dug a well in Hampton SC and showed me baby shark teeth that was cool that's about one hundred miles from the saltwater. Love the video DC and Brett yal are awesome 💯

[@myronhigh3527]

The house videos, are just as AWESOME as the time on the boat!!!! LUV IT FELLA'S!!!! BEST OF LUCK, and GOD BLESS ALL!!!!!👍😊🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@mattybassfishing]

Golf and fishing in the same day! 77 on the course. 5.12 bass on #8 2 groups saw me cath it! 🎣⛳️

[@stanpierce4724]

I once won the Member/Member, took home $400, plus another $200 in skins, then won $750 at a catfish tournament that night. Oh yeah, and found 2 arrowheads at the golf course.

[@mattyjay8896]

@@stanpierce4724 Hell yeah!

[@luke_fishing4039]

It's crazy that it's taken MLF so long to get yall to the Chowan... and i wish they wouldn't have limited yall to just the Chowan and the Roanoke. Because yall are missing out tbh

[@Matt.k864]

Lets get are boy DC to 100K subs watching from Canada

[@jaredwilliams2966]

One of, if not, the best fishery on the east coast! Too bad they cut off the sound for you guys, would have really seen some giants weighed in out of the other rivers. Also, it does get crazy rough out there like you were saying. Legit ocean vibes

[@swampbass6494]

I love that river I fish that river almost every weekend! It’s about a 35min drive from my house! I call one of my biggest personal best bass out of that river

[@nathanvincent4122]

I get the mild stage five MLF notification I went straight to KZbin cause I know my boy was gonna have a new video out. River.current. Do what you do best big dawg

[@codyhooser3333]

I really enjoy the videos watching you two on the drive to the next destination. I could watch an listen for hours seeing y'all cutting it up. Keep them videos coming and best of luck getting to that 100k followers. Your friend, Cody..

[@angiespencer4156]

You don’t know it now but you’re gonna kick butt in this River, I have a feeling 😊

[@mitchellportee150]

Depending on what part of Columbia you're traveling thru. I live in Camden which is about 30 minutes away . Just stay off of two notch and greystone and you'll be ok lol

[@jacobearley8544]

I live on the Chowan River, it is pronounced (cho-wan), also my brother has found shark teeth everywhere where the bank walls get very high where the water used to be. Also if ur looking for a good restaurant to eat at try La Mesa in edenton, it's a hole in the wall mexican restaurant.

[@mikesturgill4846]

Wow it has been a long time. I remember when Bret put that nasty note on your truck. That was some funny stuff right there. I knew I’d like Bret after that. And he is cool as crap and one heck of a videographer. Helluva team!!!

[@EASTCOASTBASSREAPERS]

Great river fish it all the time. Run down to holiday. Island best spot to fish love this river!!

[@NCWAXBRO]

I love fishing Chowan! Bigguns!!!

[@christopherupton5461]

Boss love how y'all get the camera crew involved and then they try to fade in the background!!! Shout out to Brett, Collin, and Nick the homies!!!!! Waiting on double A's!!

[@AustinGreen-ef7fm]

I fish the Chowan a lot I grew up on it always have caught good fish off of it

[@user-us6ev4zh9x]

Great fishing, that big water was the Albemarle Sound, the Chowan, Roanoke & several smaller rivers flow into the sound! Yes, the sound gets very rough with high winds! Good fishing in all, if accessible, with good weather!

[@jamiesessoms3087]

had a tournament there a 2 weeks ago had a 9-10 lber weighed in with 23lb. lots of lilly’s and cypress trees. would definitely be tossing a frog and jig

[@zSpaz]

So glad you guys are on our home water!

[@adzoutnabout8666]

I could sit and watch you guys have animated discussions for hrs.

[@cheveuxsalon]

I live here and you’re dang right it’s massive !!

[@michaelburdette6676]

Was watching the travel vlog my name is Mike and I lived there and fished that river for many years. This is the river where I caught one of my biggest fish 8-8. Good luck

[@josephkey7935]

Yes I fish it a lot. Thanks for coming.

[@ronaldmollette4639]

I'm going to say Dustin Connell also I want to thank you for the Information about that river I will be fishing it for now on

[@keithjacobs6195]

I’ve never seen bucces that empty!! Keep up the great content!!

[@fosterpeaks378]

I am born and raise in Williamston on the Roanoke river. Lots of current. I enjoy the videos dc

[@along44ride]

Northern shrimp are found in the western North Atlantic from Maine to Massachusetts, but the bulk of the harvest comes from Maine. They are also found and harvested on the West Coast and in Alaska, as well as in Canada, Greenland, Iceland, and Norway.

[@kentuckytrapper780]

My entire family is subscribed to you, don't understand why every fisherman in the world ain't..catch'um up DC..

[@joansnow3092]

Welcome guys, I live in Edenton but work in Hertford @ Albemarle Plantation. We have a great restaurant with some great southern inspired food. We welcome you to come visit.

[@Boza_]

[@kylesimmons6931]

Live 5 mins from the Chowan and do a lot of fishing there. Good luck bud.

[@lovethedogsNC]

FYI.. It is "Chooh - anne" You guys will love the Chowan! "E"denton, not "Ed"enton Looking forward to see ya'll catch them there. Yeah that can be a tough run from launch to the Roanoke. I mean sidewayz!

[@fisherbobbitt524]

It’s “chOh-wan” I’ve lived in edenton my whole life

[@Budget_bassin]

Going to my most favorite fishing hole on earth! Live in Raleigh but get down there every chance I get.

[@tommywintonjr2641]

I’m from Jamesville right next to Williamston. It’s literally just country and the biggest event there is the Herring festival. I would have NEVER guessed yall would have fished the Roanoke river. Huge stripers, cats, and monster sized American eels.

[@michaelwatts3754]

@dcfishing I was ready to call u out on the shrimp..the nc coast is loaded with shrimp and crab

[@tylermiller6271]

Good luck dc hope you Catch some big ones.

[@joshuagreen9048]

[@BrandonEdwards99]

[@johnnyweaver1300]

That place is massive, those cherries are really good for you, they help with muscle &, joint soreness, help with sleep. Hope you can find them!👍🎣

[@LarsonFishing]

I have a hard time trying to figure out what to make videos of,, but I got a fire in my soul for living in the industry fishing or not! 🔥🎣🔥

[@austinduvall4714]

Great video

[@BrocktheRock87]

There is a ton of shrimp on east coast lol

[@thecryptodaddy6769]

[@dsettleascii]

The best thing of driving through Columbia is when you get to the other side

[@marcus-1625]

Piles and piles of shrimp here man😂

[@ggw7948]

The chowanoke indians lived around the river. All of the coastal NC sounds and rivers come from indian names. Good luck and be careful.

[@emroberts9274]

Yall right up above me well I’m a little closer to Jordan lake near Vass but the river should be just right

[@stanpierce4724]

Damn, that must've been the Bucc-ee's in Florence SC. Thats my neck of the woods. Hate I missed ya'll

[@yaheeselc]

Great video I laughed the whole way! Lived there most of my life don’t be afraid to throw a bangolure!

[@kentlee7494]

Dc , all your guys be careful especially if you make a run to,WilliamsonThat sound is bad news when rough,lots of stuff to hit between ramp and Roanoke too. Y’all going to have a ball. There used to be a good seafood restaurant on the sound near the 32 bridge right on the sound. Be safe and have fun. See y’all next weekend!.

[@larryfreeman7804]

The Roanoke has them you just can’t run far enough up

[@garysanderford1572]

[@NathanPulley-dm7yj]

What’s up DC! I fish the VA Elite 70 Trail and we went to the Chowan this year and it’s awesome!

[@rcrandall]

Dude, you just scared the crap out of me, when you almost put def in the fuel tank. I did that last year in my Chevy and it cost me around $2000 and a week stuck getting service. I was lucky, if the def gets up to the high pressure pump, it can cost upwards of 10k to repair.

[@ryan.aderholt83]

Its awesome fishing

[@kyleayscue733]

DC welcome to NC. Our beaches aren't white sand but in my opinion they're really nice. 👍👍👍

[@owen8703]

Chowan rivers was kinda a local secret. Favorite place to go in the spring

[@edpelkey7798]

Hey DC just saw Jacob at the ramp at Chowan River this afternoon. A lady brought a small monkey and she asked Jacob to hold the monkey so she could take a picture of Jacob and the monkey. I did not take a picture, but I’m sure others did! I swear on a stack of bibles 🤫

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

Aint that water full off salt water like brackish water i believe ocean pours into that place never seen any pro trails fish there looks hugh!!! Good luck DC keep rolling 👊

[@DCFishing]

Not that much

[@TheVancejordan22]

You sound like me every time I put def in my truck. Don't delete unless your not worried about the warranty btw. Go catch em hammer

[@Mjones8383]

Hot Mustard and ditch melon will be sneaky colors that most people don't know about, but the locals do😮

[@barrykern4065]

Brackish water and home of the brim buster cane pole!!!

[@louiseason5706]

lol dc you are the best!!!!

[@ManningBBQ]

Welcome to NC!

[@Jacemang_Outdoors]

[@ChrisG-he9kz]

The Chowan is my favorite river it’s got some giants fs

[@latwghonjo6595]

Bladed baits DC for this week trust👍👍👍👍👍

[@markturner9029]

Dang, excited to see y’all are in NC. Have to say I’m kinda surprised that it’s the Chowan. Either way, hope y’all catch em.

[@jbocooper8262]

DC ... got a cool funny idea for some apparel for you and your boys ... would 100% sell no doubt to all of you guys fans.

[@mikewalt8642]

good job dc

[@johnandersen4036]

Holly shit I hung that sign good luck DC

[@user-sn3je8cq3j]

1584, Captains Philip Amadas and Arthur Barlowe named the river "Chowanook" while exploring the region for Sir Walter Raleigh. The name was later shortened to "Chowan" and is one of the oldest surviving English place names in the United States.

[@johnevers3531]

Megladons ate the first bass fisherman on the Cooper River! 🤣😂 Sharp Hooks! Catch em Up!

[@WheresNovaFishin]
