This content is just so great, mix of fishing and travel that is so great. Kind of burnt out of the "gopro" fishing content from other channels so this is refreshing.
Thanks Josh! I’m burnt out on making the “GoPro” fishing content too. Stepping away from tournament videos to focus on some quality stuff that I enjoy the process of!
@@Zaldaingerous I’m here for it! I just think the fishing content world has gotten too tunnel-visioned on the fishing side of things. The most popular creators in the fishing world share the adventure, not just the catch. In the tournament world, we can watch fishing all day on BassLive, we don’t get to see the behind the scenes stuff.
@@ZaldaingerousI definitely hope it takes and gains traction. In the end, you chased it 100% and that’s all it takes to sleep good at night. Hats off 👏👏👏
From the streets of San Jose to a super star in South Africa. Pretty special Chris. Congrats on all the success brother. Don't forget to thank the good lord above!
The BEST comment of the whole series so far, I know my kids went on mission trips and when they returned they realized how good they have it, "IT COULD BE WAY WORSE" after seeing what others go through just to put food on table we grow appreciation of what we have. absolutely one of the best series I have ever watched, the VIDEO/AUDIO is amazing dude!!
You’re living my childhood dream of being a pro angler and spreading the love of bass fishing brother. Now I’m just trying to live out my adult dream, getting quality soft plastics to the masses
Great great content. Thank you. Yes the hippo's are dangerous. The two holidays me and a friend spent there for golf, we had to be careful near the water. Because of crocs and hippo's. No golf after 1700 pm. One time we encountered a croc about 4 mtrs long sunbathing on the cart path. We took the long route around it. Dont stroll in the long grass, looking for your golfball because of snakes etc. My friend was an experienced africa traveller. As he worked for years in several african countries. Drlling for water for the people, for humanity foundations. I was happy to be with him, its not fully safe. You have to know what not to do, where not to be, what hours not to go outside. The camps were guarded by armed security workers. Did a few safaris and saw some of the big 5 up close. Love the protocol of these bass anglers. All in shirt with tie. The green jackets. Like Agusta Gold Masters. Awesome country. Thanks again. Greetings from Spain from a golfer and fisherman
I really enough watching your vlogs bro.!!! You’re definitely a hammer!!!! Anglers that aren’t watching, are slipping!!! You and your swimbait game is what got me doing the same!!! Beast mode!! LFG!!
Dec.18, watched part two, very cool and interesting video.the landscape and terrain reminds me being in Deep South Texas or west Texas, I would have never thought they would have cold weather down there like we do here in north Texas. Can’t wait for part three.MERRY CHRISTMAS TO THE Z. FAMILY
Its like you just made a new family on the other side of the world. They treated you like a king .i wouldnt even think it would have this nice over there. Wow man these are some very beautiful people and take you in like one of theor own.must feel good and im sure its going to be hard to say goodby when that time comes.but they have alot more adventures for you and i cant wait to see all l the videos .wow never would have thought our brothers and sisters are on the othere side of our planet
@Zaldaingerous i don't doubt that for a minute. Just looks like she wants to show them she can fish too. Love that she stuck one on a frog and a lefty reel. Exactly how I felt the 1st time I used my brothers and hooked a fish. Now I own 3 and go back and forth between r/l all the time.
Not gonna lie, you can see the disparity between the people there. I’ve went to South Africa once and it just didn’t feel right me and haven’t been back
More than 40% of the people are unemployed. It is a reality throughout Africa. However, the same disparity exists in every 3rd world nation on earth. Focus on the beauty of all the people regardless of their financial position. It can be a life changing experience.
You only understand the disparity here once you've lived here for a while and know the history of this place . I live here but was born in neighbouring Zimbabwe
I'm sorry but unreal how much you complain and complained about pro bass fishing while you are traveling the world because of pro bass fishing. You act like a victim and jump on whatever the popular bandwagon is. What 9 to 5 have you ever worked? 🤔
South Africa is a powerhouse of all sports We have brilliant sports Wecan show you huge bass…huge trophies etc… Don’t underestimate us. We are ridiculous and we eat the best food. Try us man

This is the most unique bass fishing video I’ve ever watched. Thank you very much for allowing me to come.

It’s an experience I wish everyone who loves to bass fish can have
Funny to watch a bassmaster youtuber and recognizing the area,roads and more
Loved episode 2, looking forward to no3. You have me cracked up after showing you the biggest bass for the day and you ask if Tyler caught it 😂😂😂😂
I knew you didn’t catch it 😂
Charles sure is a slick editor!
He’s the 🐐
What a great bunch of Dudes . And women! Looks like a blast
These people are really cool and they look like a lot of fun.

The look Trait gave him when he said don’t poach our fish. Then she said hold my beer with the frog bite 😂😂.
Great to see you in our home country. Can't wait to hear what you think of Loskop Dam next!!
I ❤️ Loskop… so much I may build a house close by 😉

Enjoyed part 2 so much! Awesome seeing our SA waters and knowing we can fish here between the crocs and hippos. Ps love oom Lenards attitude.
Uncle Lenny’s attitude is contagious! He loves bass fishing!
That one looks kinda like Clunn . Great video. Crazy what they have to deal with on the water. Thanks again.
Dream trip guys

Can't wait for the big fishy footage, and some hunting feedback, hope it lived up to everything you thought it would be and more
Big fan of SA!! Definitely going back annually
Some awsome footage to be added from the Zimbabwe trip next year buddy 😊@Zaldaingerous
Awesome videos of the South Africa trip. Looks like you guys had a blast
It was a life changing trip. Truly.
Its like you just made a new family on the other side of the world.
They treated you like a king .i wouldnt even think it would have this nice over there. Wow man these are some very beautiful people and take you in like one of theor own.must feel good and im sure its going to be hard to say goodby when that time comes.but they have alot more adventures for you and i cant wait to see all l the videos .wow never would have thought our brothers and sisters are on the othere side of our planet
They are now family!
We will adopt him as one of our own here down South . Great guy 😁👍
Hey Chris , were those hippos wild? Are they on a game reserve
They are wild. That’s a public lake. There was a point where we got really nervous in our boat and booked it
That’s how I would have been reeling in them bass Tre!! 😂 I’m no lefty at all!!!! 😅
I forgot to grab her RH reel when I loaded the boat. Oops 😅
awesome video chris
Glad you enjoyed it
Cool video Chris
Thanks John 👊🏽
That plant made Chris miss Cali for sure! 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
4:00 I thought u guys were swerving and that car had to go in other lane to dodge u!!! Then I noticed its all backwards 😂
It’s hard to get used to!
@@Zaldaingerousgreat stuff brother! Can’t wait for part 3!
There are a lot of accidents here it feels like most people did not get their licenses the usual way. It feels like they bought their license.
@Crazyboy_38duplo-cw2ki as we know most have 🤣
Hey Chris do you ever come to Arizona?
Yes, for the US Open. May be there for New Year’s this year
No way! Would be cool to see you at a Meet & Greet. Those Triza rods are sick! Definitely need one for traveling.
is Mexico Culiacan next up? 🤓🤓
Lol Trait looks pissed the entire time. Do the guys know she can fish?
I promise she had a blast!
@Zaldaingerous i don't doubt that for a minute. Just looks like she wants to show them she can fish too. Love that she stuck one on a frog and a lefty reel. Exactly how I felt the 1st time I used my brothers and hooked a fish. Now I own 3 and go back and forth between r/l all the time.
30:35 funny i have photos of those same hippos
I think those hippos are famous
@Zaldaingerous yea we fished that island around them setting down lifejacket on with big motor on if they would storm us
Part 3 is going to be legit

Which model Valkyrie? Sick intro btw

I believe it’s headed in a positive direction with its current president. There’s disparity all over this world
You only understand the disparity here once you've lived here for a while and know the history of this place . I live here but was born in neighbouring Zimbabwe
How was the crime? I heard SA was in Turmoil with riots and violence against the Dutch population?
We had zero issues but like any other country, there are places you know to avoid and ways to do things to avoid trouble.
Last year I watched a documentary on SA was pretty scary. I guess it's settled down alot. Great content guys
I know this is a touchy subject, but i wish you and trait and Milliken will bury the hatchet and do a podcast. Can we please make that happen

He’s not complaining about probass fishing, hes complaining about how FFS has ruined probass fishing in the states.
You are right I don’t work a real job and have never worked a real job. I’ve skated through life without doing any real work.
@@Zaldaingerousignor the idiot's comments 👍
@Zaldaingerous ignor the Haters your side buddy . Amazing how they crawl out of the woodworks !
South Africa is a powerhouse of all sports
We have brilliant sports
Wecan show you huge bass…huge trophies etc…
Don’t underestimate us.
We are ridiculous and we eat the best food.
Try us man
I love South Africa and have never underestimated it…
