I don’t comment often, but I think many of us could learn from your positive attitude!
Appreciate this 🙏 sometimes the only thing in your control is staying positive
“I’m just another human that loves fishing”. That’s what keeps me watching your channel. You always seem to exhibit exactly that and I am happy to watch your approach .
Thanks Terry 🙏
It's all good. That's why they call it fishing not catching bro! Get up, dust off, and get at it again. Still one of my favorite anglers, you're the reason I started throwing big swimbaits. Thank you and the camera man for what y'all do. Appreciate it!
Zaldain is a real class act type of dude! Even though this tournament was tough and frustrating, he took time every evening to talk fishing and interact with his fans!! Good luck the rest of the year and thanks brother!
He really is. One of the most honest and relatable pro bass guys I keep up with. Also amazing production quality, almost has a Jon B. level to this shit
@@317TilliDie’m trying to do a collab with Jon B to an overseas spot to chase some bass. Our filmers plus his, epic potential…
I appreciate that. Least I can do - fans are why I get to do what I love
One reason I am so interested in your content is Johnny. The production on.somenof these videos is epic. Lake Fork swim baits video comes to mind. High quality. Top notch crew Mr. Zaldain
You’re an absolute beauty! I love the honesty and watching you slap fish is unreal! Keep it up!
You don’t suck dude. You’re number one brother! Keep it rolling and give Trait a big hug and y’all keep rolling we love y’all!!
🙏👊🏽
Pure honesty is hard to come by in this world, thank you for sharing it with us. You work hard enough that it will happen, everything happens for a reason, it will lead you to the next…
Love the video editing! They are the best.
Any day fishing is a good day, even the tough days, mistakes, I learn something and am grateful I'm outside rather than sitting down. From one San Jose fisherman to another, keep it up man, love the content.
🙏👊🏽
That first Judge looked like a ton of fun to spend the day with!😂
From one Texan to another, keep your head down and swinging that hammer! There’s a saying that’s been around since the dawn of time, “Good things come to those who wait”! It’ll happen, and it’ll happen in a big way brother, because your grind is out of this world!!
I sure hope so Kyle 👊🏽 trying to stay positive about the season! It’s been a weird one
We have not met. I have marshaled at the classic and 3 elites and have come to appreciate how tough it is to remain positive through tough times. You are a role model, keep on keeping on
Most definitely my favorite fisherman
I really enjoy your videos but the end of this one was even better! Talking about expenses that go along with the sport really touched home. I dished the opens several years ago with the dream of making it big. It didnt take long before the expense started weighing on my mind and sucked the fun out of the sport I loved. I took a few years off and rekindled the fire. Now I just fish regionally within my means. I still love you watching you and hope the money never interferes with your fishing.
When you are in a funk and not cashing checks you are used to, it def can stack up quick. I am blessed on the sponsorship side, but it doesn’t change being used to cashing checks then not having those 🙃
Thanks for showing the real side of Fishing it’s not always catching and cashing checks! Keep your head up and keep cast they’ll start biting for you🎣🎣🎣
Hopefully they start biting for me this coming week at the Sabine!
I appreciate you filming the rough part of the sport. Lots of guys only show the nice catches and none of the struggles. So thank you for keeping it real. Class act for sure 😊
Just keep your head up brother I love love watching your fish
Thank You, Chris for the great vlogs! Not easy to fish for a living and also putting your personal life out there for everybody to see! Hope for better second half of the season! You are one of the best pro anglers, better days are ahead of you!👊🏼
Man we started following you after seeing you with Martin Cantebury and Arey. You are a good guy and we love following you. We enjoy watching you as you are the real deal yes a pro but also a guy who just loves fishing. Come on the second half of the season will be yours. Hang in brother will be praying for your safety and tight lines.
Thank you for the prayers and same, tight lines John 👊🏽
Brother you are a champ! Thank you for all your videos, tips, and effort.
You are one of my favorite people and anglers to watch... You got this Chris! Thanks for everything you do. Your teaching, the excitement and passion, I don't just watch for the FISH CATCHES and I'm sure there are plenty others just like me. So Thanks Bro
Thank you for following along with my vids, Jeremy 👊🏽 means a lot
Keep it up Chris. We are your fans!!! And appreciate your swagger taking the time to connect with us. Taking us fishing with you is a bonus. You are our Champion sharing the love for the sport. Thank you. You’ll get em’…❤
😊🙏👊🏽
Chris thank you for your content and bringing us along on your professional journey. Hit a plateau the last couple weeks throwing strictly confidence finesse baits. Had a solid day today finally getting bit on the bigger presentations. Thank you for the encouragement and positive vibes man. Keep crushin it
That’s awesome Cam!
another dope video dude. love seeing a "inside view" of tournament fishing. appreciate you man.
Thanks for following along Michael 👊🏽
May is just about over,back to home water's. Good luck to a better second half,J.T.
Stay strong, stay focused and just go enjoy fishing and it will come! Heck your job is fishing I wish mine was.
We all have those slumps that make us question everything…. You will prevail!!! You are still on the fantasy team every tournament…
Best of luck on the Sabine River coming up , I will be there in Orange Texas and hopefully be able to meet you in person … Keep Grinding!!! 🤘🤘
I’m sorry for ruining your fantasy fishing season 😩
Fishing can be tough….. life can be tough, but I look forward to your videos!! Good luck always!! Keep up the amazing content.
Thanks bro 👊🏽
Enjoy your videos. You are so versatile in your techniques. You needed all of them at Lay. Davis & Christie did remarkable given the situation. Keep up the hard work. It will pay off.
Appreciate it Jim! I’m just a step off this season but hopefully I get the train back on the tracks the second half
I know how hard it is to stay positive and focused when the fish just aren't cooperating. Keep grinding and keep making the vids! Thanks, just another human being that likes to fish.
You are one of the best fisherman in the entire world. You get to travel the country fishing with your wife and dogs. You are a blessed man. Keep that in perspective.
Word 🙏👊🏽
Keep your head down & keep grinding , you’ll turn it around , love the videos
Thank you for all the inspiration you give to me up here in Northern Wisconsin fishing for bass! You’re a well rounded professional fisherman Chris and I’m proud to support you on your journey as you motivate me to catch my PB largemouth this season. Prayers for big fish for both of us! Keep rocking it brother!!!
Keep grinding and things will turn around. I appreciate the time, tips and entertainment you provide with a the content you put out. It shows your character and that no matter how difficult things get, you can put a positive spin on it and keep pushing on. Good luck in the next tourney, we are behind you 100 percent!
Love your style of fishing! Second half of the season you can rock it out, hang in there bro!!!!
🙌
Summer is here brotha! Best of luck out there!!
Always enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing
You got what it takes! We all have rough days, but you share the good and the bad. Thanks!
The good and THE BAD is right haha thanks Donald 👊🏽
I had the chance to watch you weigh in last year on Pickwick never got the chance to get an autograph but such a humble person and I enjoy your content so much 💯💯
Glad to hear you enjoy our content. It’s hard to tell if what we are doing is what people want
Thank you for sharing the good and the tough times. Arizona lakes are over pressured and fickle. Grinding is the theme. It is real when you love fishing and it’s a grind. Appreciate you sharing. And your wife sharing her mistakes!❤
Next tournament it will pay off!
Thanks Scott! The next tournament practice starts this Monday 👊🏽
Good luck at the Sabine tournament in June.
Headed there Saturday morn!
You da best man! Chin up and keep moving forward.
Im a salt dog and just getting into freshwater. Freshwater helps me realize how much I really suck at fishing. but I absolutely love bass fishing still. I enjoy watching your videos. The Information you provide is priceless and the videos are top notch. Best of luck on your tournaments and best believe I'll support. You're the Man Chris
I really appreciate your support 🙏👊🏽
When you get time come back to California and get some Halibut fishing in the bay is on fire.Thanks for your videos I look forward to seeing you on the big stage Again keep your head up
That grass hero shined at that private lake you and Scott filmed on at the Clarendon club as well as that 6 I caught on your Dangerous Swimbait you gave me 💪🏻
Keep pushing bro. We need this content. You're only a couple bites away, keep going, keep throwing
Rough go out there. But keep it rockin and keep the videos coming. 🤙
Keep going bru... It will come out and happen for you one of the days.
Love from south Africa
❤🇿🇦
Man tough tournament! Hey I love to hear about how you got to that tournament level. Maybe talk about it on a podcast. Thanks, your videos are so engaging
Ya and I'm running down the roads in this semi, buddy. I live for you and Castledine and BTL to make videos so I can make it through the day! Everybody has their bad tournaments, but in my eyes, you will do just fine. I'll be looking for more video's, go get it in the second half of the season !
Thanks Joe 🙏👊🏽
Preciate you showing love to the first responders! Love your content man! Good luck at Sabine!
🫡 👊🏽
Really enjoy your channel Chris good luck the rest of the season
I'm in a bit of a slump with this tournament season as well. And after sitting down to crunch the numbers I'm going to be just out of the cut to make it to regionals with only one tournament to go. But I see the mindset you guys try to keep and I'm trying to keep up the same mindset. By going into the next tournament with win it and I'll be in it mindset. Instead of the my season is already over mindset. So, thanks for not just showing all the good times of tournament fishing. It helps to see the bad times too.
Seeing the bad times keeps us focused on getting back to the good times 👊🏽
My wife, son Bryson an I just mow yard's all day. When Wayne mowed for you, his name was Extreme. There was only 3 Lawn Care Companies to choose from in those day's when you Lived in Boyd. We are still going strong in Azle..
Good stuff brother
Thanks Caleb!
Man your positive attitude goes a long way I just got into big swimbait fishin I’m out here in California and I am struggling that’s all I throw the whole time I’m out just head hunting I’ve caught 1 4 pound fish in the last 22 trips I don’t have forward facing sonar so I feel like I’m just out there fishing blind throwing it in good areas but I have no idea what’s there and I want to give up so bad and have a shitty attitude but watching you and your attitude really helps

You're freaking awesome Chris! Should've just thrown big swimbaits all day lol jk love your videos and everything one day I'll catch you in Alabama!

Would have loved to see you smoke down here on some of my home waters. One thing I’ll never forget and I know it’s tough to think about was the flurry at guntersville on that magnum spoon.. i have watched that so many times over the years.
I’ve had a few good memories with the spoon on basslive - one of my favorite bites
No matter how a day plays out, just keep it real, and honest, and we'll have your back.
Means a ton Mick 👊🏽
never give up, Chris
Never, Jim 👊🏽
Hang in there bro

Thanks for all the support Bobby 👊🏽
i like while your showing your setup your explaining what you use them for and when to use them
🙏👊🏽
Hang in there brother! Simplify. Bass fishing goes in streaks sometimes. It will turn around for you.
I hope to turn it around this coming week and end the bad streak 👊🏽
Love that fiddle sound @21;51
Same 🎻
Hermano is so crazy how this sport is, i following a lot of pro angler and man is hard living
I try to keep calm like ya but I just get a lil upset sometimes.I’ve been competing for 30+ years here in Tn.It’s been tough, so I can only imagine what ya go through or spend!👍🏼👍🏼Keep em coming bro!
The mental game is the hardest part of tournament fishing!
I hear what you are saying. I went yesterday and kept some for eating. Several had eggs still. Tried topwater and nothing, tried cranking, nothing. I put on Texas rig crawl and started tearing them up. I tried all of the things that you are saying and everyone else and it wasn't happening. Didn't make since but that's fishing.
Word jeff, sometimes fishing makes no sense
Good luck in Texas! Give them hell!
I’m gonna give ‘em heck at the Sabine this week 👊🏽
My guy, you're the best!
Even when you suck bro🤙
Keep on keeping on
Let’s go
Go get them at Sabine man 💪🏻
Gonna try 👊🏽
Let’s see you win the next one buddy
I want to win this next one bad!!!
My man if it was easy as the old saying goes it would be called catching rather than fishing better luck next time you will come out on top👍👍☝
Keep going brotha 33:30
🙏🙏🙏👊🏽
