Damn Boy!! Keep killing it! Seen your name come up too many times on Greg’s leader board over the years… so glad you are doing informative videos also!!! Tight lines!
Great job brother that looked like a very fun and beautiful day on the lake thank you for sharing your day! You grinded AB’s got the fish that you needed it seemed they were playing nice today! Much respect for your skills and knowledge out there it really proves you are an elite angler out there you know your game! Tight lines sir take care and God bless!
He was a cool guy. I was the one who came up on him so i was happy he let me fish there. It's much harder for him to stay in spot since he didnt have spotlock so he drifted off his waypoint a bit. He never wanted me out of there lol. He's a nice guy
What was the payout on the first place spot? Entry was $250 for Saturday and Sunday correct? Have to say i really like ur style of fishing. Aggressive with intelligence and focus. Often u see people get a lil sloppy when they start trying to fish fast and aggressively. Obviously that wins tournaments. Congrats on another W has to feel good bro haha. Well done and thanks for taken us along for the ride!
Yes it has, it happened once awhile back on Pine Flat for a Central Valley Kayak event and there has been multiple events where i almost didnt bag a limit because I was tossing them back and not measuring smaller 14-15" keepers
@@wsonphan80 i never saw anyone do that before but i saw someone comment it on a tiktok like 3/4 days ago and then it just so happened i see him do it. Probably not a terrible idea
I’ve been doing this ever since I’ve started using a baitcast reel. I don’t like the drag on the baitcaster so I have my drag tightened down all the way. I prefer to manually give line to the fish. I just have more control this way
Depends on the bite lol. The time i waste measuring a small keeper, i could have made another cast and catch a better quality fish. I knew what it was going to take to do well on that lake and when the bites happen you have to capitalize on the flurrys and try to catch a big one.
i keep my drag tighten down all the way. I like to manually give line to fish rather than use the drag. The drag on the baitcaster is too sensitive for my liking.
I had it mounted on the head awhile back but i was getting too much complaints about head movement. I'm always looking around so the head view isnt the greatest.
That’s guy was super lame 😒 lol he still going to beat his ass competition lmao 🤣 !!!!! Hmong champions best guy out there Greg blanched is not even to his level man 😂😂😂😂😂 Let’s put him on the MAP !!!!!!!
Best hmong yak fisherman. Your room is amazing, brother. I'd be proud as heck to have all those trophies in my room, too. Keep it up!
He might be one of the best yak fisherman in the world rn. Weather he Hmong mong dong or bong he the truth.
One of the best period!
Hmong or not. Damian has been making a name for himself and he’s one of the best in the country right now!!
Walkin the walk isn't he. Its fun to watch thats for sure!
Congrats. Hands down the best fisherman on TH-cam.

Ma Jay yerrrrrrr....
Congratulations as always D.thao 🎉 keep it up
Congratulations on another hard fought victory! Great job out there
Always enjoy watching you kick butt while seeing you fish out of the box in most cases. I could be wrong but either way it's fun watching you.
Best part of the video is at 25:52 🤣 . You're on a hot streak. Looking forward to seeing what you can do at Clear Lake this weekend ! 👍
It’s been so hit or miss, hope it produces for you guys this weekend. I’ll be fishing but not the tourn, but it is my backyard 😁
Every time I watch these vids it makes me crazy to get out on the water… that’s a good thing I guess. Love ❤️ bass fishing
Congratulations on back-to-back wins! Best of luck up at Trinity. That should be a good one! 🤙

🤙👊. Good Job Brother !! Melones is the place I can count on for catching um … when other places are tuff for me ….
Way to find em. Congrats bud! Cheers
Damn killing it on top water. Must be hella fun.
“Can I fish the right side of you ?”
“Yea go ahead”
As soon as Dthao catches, he wants him out of there😂😂
Supa lame
Damian catches fish anywhere, and he got skill
He was a cool guy. I was the one who came up on him so i was happy he let me fish there. It's much harder for him to stay in spot since he didnt have spotlock so he drifted off his waypoint a bit. He never wanted me out of there lol. He's a nice guy
@@dthao92 understood. Just seem like he wasn’t too happy. Nonetheless, you were a great sport, Dthao
Great win! Not new to the winner's circle. Congrats to John Myers as well!
Good job bro. I seen u pass by me in the morning.

Congrats Damian you a stud
I bet that dude was pretty pissed you caught a fish in front of him then finding out you took first place lol

I’m curious has it ever come to bite you throwing back keepers and not measuring them before you have your limit?
Yes it has, it happened once awhile back on Pine Flat for a Central Valley Kayak event and there has been multiple events where i almost didnt bag a limit because I was tossing them back and not measuring smaller 14-15" keepers
Good job man
Congrats!
#GOAT
Need an autograph from you. Such an idol of humbleness
You should try back to back against me on shore. Let's go.
Damian the goat
What weight size jig do you use on the main lake? 👍👍👍
Nvm finally got the chance to see the full vid. Great job out there man!
Does he click in the bait caster when the fish starts fighting and use his thumb as the drag?
I noticed that too. Seems that way.

@@dthao92 makes a lot of sense. I agree im also not a huge fan of baitcaster drag
What's the name of that top water bait you are using?
Congrats..
at the end of the video
It's a Teckel Kicknocker
.25 for the W my guy!
Was waiting to see this one. 🎉 Great Job!
Question for you are you using the Garmin UHD2 version?
Thanks! yes im using the UHD2
When we going fishing need you to show me some tips
Need you to teach me how to fish lol
Hit me up shoot me your number
where can I get your livescope mount?
Home depot.
What brand of football jig is that ?
It's a custom football jig, A buddy makes them for me
How deep were the fish you caught on the jig?
It varies. Usually 15-30ft
What color topwater was the walking one?
It's Chart Shiner
here is your nickname. This is the mother of all the things. Damian "Thoa Cannot be Contained"
Is it me or do you throw keepers back before you have a limit because you know they arent winning fish😂.. congrats man your a beast
Depends on the bite lol. The time i waste measuring a small keeper, i could have made another cast and catch a better quality fish. I knew what it was going to take to do well on that lake and when the bites happen you have to capitalize on the flurrys and try to catch a big one.
Did you make it and can you send the plains
I made it, but that was awhile back. Might make a video on it. Very inexpensive to make
Sheeeeesh ❤
Do you have an affiliate link for that jig you’re throwing?
Sorry i do not. A buddy makes them for me.
What battery are you using for both unit?
I run seperate batteries. I run a Lithium Pros 33ah for my 9" Lowrance and i run a Bioenno 50ah for my Garmin
When the fish are slapping and missing the spook, downsize to a more subtle walker that they'll commit to, like a Lucky Craft little Sammy, etc...
Whats the point of always pressing your spoil release button when fighting a fish? Jw
i keep my drag tighten down all the way. I like to manually give line to fish rather than use the drag. The drag on the baitcaster is too sensitive for my liking.
What knot are you using?
It's a modified cinch knot
Easy money.
Change the chest came to a under hat bill cam. It mIght make the view better for viewers.
