I WON a $300,000 Fishing Tournament - 2021 MLF REDCREST Championship Round 

Nothing bette than his humility, I couldn’t be happier for someone. Gods speed DC!

the pure and raw emotion this man has for this sport is truly inspiring just a small town alabama kid living his dreams this is what all kids dream of is that feeling right there truly awesome to see and keep up the good work, uhhh ding 🔔🔔

have to admit, brought tears to my eyes too. you rock DC.

The amount of times the marshal hit things on this lowrance touch screen would have drove me crazy

The money gets spent, trophies get dusty.... those memories will last a lifetime....what a great day!!!

"This ain't sweet baby Jesus, it's a dog" ~DC

The way this man is not scared to share how he is feeling is awesome

I don't know what impresses me more.. DC winning a well-deserved $300k or those HDS lives withstanding that cameraman's weight as he essentially sat on them several times.

Something magical did happen all the stars lined up for you, I shed some tears with you, it's made my week! THANK YOU LORD

After he realized he had won and started tearing up, I teared up right along with him. Ok, I cried there I said it

Love watching him have fun and cant stop laughing at when he caught that little bass and was like come on son i need ya grand daddy lol

Nothing was more funny than when he said “it’s gonna take something magical for me to win” he had no clue he was gonna win 😂😂but heck of a job DC!

“It ain’t sweet baby Jesus it’s a puuuuppppy” haha I’m dead

You owe us a jump in the drink! Congrats Dustin, watching it on live gave me the chills!

To God Be The Glory. So touching watching a fellow Alabamian fulfilling his purpose and passion. Congratulations DC.

“Thank you lord”

Brett's going to have to contact MLF and let them know the camera guys are blocking his shots. 🤣 Great work and good editing.

Almost a year later and this video is still fantastic.

The pure, real man, angler, human you are inspires me to keep fishing. This video is a great one. Keep pushing brother.

Dang, finished watching now you got me crying

Congrats on the win and cudos to your camera guy! This was a cool video to watch... the whole series leading up to the final. Well done!!

I'm not crying, you're crying..... 😭 Couldn't have happened to a better person. Congrats, DC! This is so, so, so well deserved. You're an excellent ambassador for the sport.

I have watched this 4 or 5 times and I do the ugly cry every time. What a wonderful day to remember for Dustin. God Bless

Way to go, DC!!! You deserved this and more to come! I love watching you and Jaycob Wheeler fish. Both of you guys are absolute legends.

Dustin went into the day with a positive mental attitude and came out with a $300,000 check, way to go bud

Thats one awesome video!!! Congrats DC!!! Your emotion at the end says it all about you. Its in your blood Dude, and has always been in mine also. Your the Man!!!!!

Damm near made me cry. Dc your such a inspiration hopefully one day I will be half the fisherman you are

I have noticed when you are fishing and speaking to God you always have a nice fishing trip. It may not be always but you are having a great year despite COVID.

DC brother couldn't have been a better man who won. You DESERVE this and many more. We love ya big guy.

Just got done rewatching the rest of the series, perfect timing!

Dude your gonna keep going on up my friend. Its the 1st win of the year with at least 2 more to go brotha

Thought I was done crying then u gotta end it with your neighborhood support. You know you are a great man when the neighbors take time to be so supportive. God has big plans for you DC

Intuition is SOB DC roll with it homeboy. I continue to go back and watch this one.

Awesome video and great job! The amount of emotion shows how deserving you are. Take the confidence forward and hoist many more. Been cool if you and wheels went 1,2 but close enough lol MDJ where you at bro? Mark’s turn now for a redcrest trophy. Congrats again DC!🎣

Congrats, when you getting a jerkbait signature rod? I think winning the REDCREST is a good enough reason to have one.

That’s so awesome brother, glad to see you hold that trophy 🏆 . You deserve it, you’ve have been working your ass off All year. congratulations man

Dustin, I was watching all week at home. You even got me "MISTY" and then you turn towards the camera and said "DING"! I LOST IT. Went from misty eyed to immediate laughter brother! Awesome man! Job well done! 👊🤙👍 $$"UHHH...CHA-DING"$$

All I can say is "YOU DA MAN"

You need to get Brett a follow boat now 🏆 👍😃🙏

Who's Cutting Onions 😭😂, His Passion For The Sport Is Unbreakable! Absolutely Awesome Tournament DC Great Job!

You deserved to win that man . A humble man right there

Dang man, had me crying also

Special opps cameraman! #froggtoggs

Man, I’d be lying if I said I don’t choke up myself. What a great video and edit. I unfortunately don’t get live television. But this was worth the wait. Proud of you buddy, hard work pays off and boy does this video get my hyped for open water! Congrats, DC!

Could not have happened to a better guy! Been watching you, Wheeler, MDJ, and Adrian from the beginning. You guys are my inspiration for chasing that dream you just achieved. Lord just blessed an Alabama hamma!! Congrats DC.

me and the camera man would be having a talk. leaning all up on the graphs and pressing buttons.. nahhhh

DC you’re so deserving of that hoist! We cried with you and thank the good Lord for blessing you. You’re our favorite!

The fact his neighbors were waiting on him says it all about DC. We follow these guys on their channels. A lot of us watch the live streams of the tournaments. We pull for them. When you follow Dc, MDJ and/or Wheeler they come across as your buddy down the street. Like if you did meet them you would just start talking like you’ve run into the guy you went to high school with after 5 years and you’re catching up. After watching this series of videos I realized something. It may just be me and my goofy self. Probably a few more like me out there. But, I realized how emotionally invested I am with these guys. I watched Wheeler just dominate out of these 3. I’ve been very happy for him. The whole time DC and MDJ have been there to pat their buddy on the back and congratulate him. I know they’re genuine I their responses to him. But I’m sure it eats them up on the inside. If that weren’t the case they wouldn’t have what it takes to do what they do. When the realization that he had won hit him DC sat down and the emotions (tears) just started to flow out of him. That’s when the above mentioned “emotionally invested” became a realization for me. I knew because my ”emotions” came out for him. We need to be spread the word to our friends and them to their friends that these are the guys our kids should be following and aspiring to be. Sorry this was so long. CONGRATULATIONS DC!!! MDJ you are next bud!

When you cried on that win.. I literally started bawling. You earned it fair and square.

You'll never work a day in your life if you love what you do. DC you can see that you truly love to fish. I shed some tears watching this. Congratulations!!!!!!

Son,you put the boys on the road.Congratulations.God bless you.

man I cried a little bit watching it live and I shed a few more tears watching it again here on youtube. Congrats DC man all of your fans here are so happy for you and so proud way to go! DING!

Congratulations big guy. Keep the lines tight

Little did you know the wife showing up was the good luck charm. 🎣🇺🇸🎣 congrats man 🏆 you deserve it 10 time over.

No one more deserving! Congrats Dustin! The Purdue bass team congratulates you!

DING!!! Thanks for sharing that video. I live streamed it when it was happening, but this was so much better seeing it "as you saw it AND FELT IT". True emotions!!! Great job of not ever giving up, hanging in there. CONGRATULATIONS MAN!

Bro, I know this was almost a year ago, but you had alot people that believed in your abilities to pull this off. Way to stay focused and on your instincts,! Congrats from DC fans everywhere!!!! Proud of Micheal Neal also!!!! I fished against him a few times, he always placed better lol.

This was better than the movies I have been watching. Congratulations!!!

So happy for you man, what an inspiration to me and anyone living and breathing bass fishing. You and wheeler set the standard in my opinion. You said “thank you lord” more time than I could count on the live feed and re watching on here, it speaks volumes man. Stay at it brother! DING!!

Well deserved DC! Congratulations buddy keep it up God has u forsure!

Watched that whole emotional scene like *🥺🥺* then the moment ya said “ding.” My face went to *🥲* That was truly inspiring DC!
