“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 .
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
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
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!
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
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…
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 😊
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’…❤
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.
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 🙃
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
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!!
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.
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, 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!👊🏼
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
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.
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!!! 🤘🤘
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.
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!
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!!!
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
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!
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🎣🎣🎣
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
Love watching every video bro regardless of if your slayin em on swimbaits or catchin dink spots. On to the next one brotha good luck from the 209!!! Shoutout Cali we appreciate you bro
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 💯💯
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.
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 !
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.
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 💪🏻
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
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
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..
I know your busy this time of year, just like us mowing everybody's yard. We can hook up when everything slow's down. It alot of pressure on both of us. No worries 👍
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.
Keep them videos coming from your neighbor by Baot Works.3 Exits down on Eagle Mountain Lake when you an yours are not to busy. Got Rybye's, Loaded Mash Patatoes, Corn on the Cob, Eckredege Smoke Sausage, Asperigus, Salad, it all ready for y'all brother I know you said you shouldn't bring your pest, an that cool. Just let me know after the Sabine. We will be watching 👀 you everyday on Bass Live. My friend Wayne Buchanan mowed your yard when you lived in Boyd Homie..
Hey Chris, got a question on how you approach some situations. Fishing in my local Tuesday nighter I was mainly fishing shallow and looking for bedded fish. From my gatherings, they aren’t quite on beds yet but I see big females cruising an area about a 15ft radius just back and forth. What should I do to try and trigger a bite from these fish
My favorite thing to do when big girls are still cruising is a neko rig on light spinning gear. Mark the areas you saw them cruising and then tournament day blind cast that neko around in those areas. Here’s one of my favorite/most successful days doing that in a tournament: th-cam.com/video/gRUm5L5b8JU/w-d-xo.html
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!
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 🙏

On those blowups where you don’t get a frog hook in them, do you ever go back after a while and try again?

No matter how a day plays out, just keep it real, and honest, and we'll have your back.
Means a ton Mick 👊🏽
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 👊🏽
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!
Hermano is so crazy how this sport is, i following a lot of pro angler and man is hard living
What envy rod do you use for the smaller paddle tail swimbaits? Great video!
The 7’3” Envy Medium Heavy - thought we added that link my bad. I use this rod for the paddle tail and the under spin setup
@@Zaldaingerous okay awesome thank you, looking into getting a couple envy’s just trying to figure out which ones
Good luck in Texas! Give them hell!
I’m gonna give ‘em heck at the Sabine this week 👊🏽
Let’s see you win the next one buddy
I want to win this next one bad!!!
what do you use to store the daingerous swimbaits?
Go get them at Sabine man 💪🏻
Gonna try 👊🏽
