MORE DRAMA: Trait Zaldain Accuses Trey McKinney of CHEATING AGAIN
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 มิ.ย. 2024
- The Bassmaster Elite Series is just about to start on Wheeler Lake and Trait Zaldain, Chris Zaldain's wife has accused rookie angler Trey McKinney of getting tournament information from his old fishing partner. Trait twitted about her feelings and says there is more to come, but shouldn't Trey be innocent until proven guilty? Is this jealousy from the Zaldain's? Is it slander against Trey McKinney? And can we get anymore fishing drama in the Bassmaster Elite Series of Bass Fishing Tournaments?

Chris sets up the questions and lets Trait do the dirty work. Drama gets the clicks and likes.You can tell she wears the pants in that family
You can also tell Taint is so desperate for 15 seconds of fame. She’s pathetic!!
And always says the most asinine shit. Apparently she blocked me from twitter. Once again, proving that when someone has a different opinion, her twat begins to bleed.
You could be right. To be honest, I think Trait asks some amazing questions on the pod. Cheers and tight lines!!
@@GetUrFishOn They try to cause controversy.She can get away with it.Some guest take the bait and others sidestep Trait.
@@palerider3800 I understand that. The drama gets clicks and helps you grow on this platform. Cheers and tight lines!!
You mean she wears the jersey 😅
The whole industry is in the toilet right now. Literally nothing positive is put out
I think many people thought it was all good with BASS, but we are seeing some cracks. Last time we saw things like this, MLF was started. Cheers and tight lines!!
Maybe Trait and Blaukat can start a podcast together. They could could call it "Bitch and Complain Podcast "
OMG thank you for this comment, it is hilarious!! Cheers and tight lines!!
And when they had blauket on their show it was a straight fluff fest. They didn’t challenge him on anything he says.
@@Dirkdiggler520 and that's something ya must do. Getting Randy on, GETS VIEWS!!! Cheers and tight lines!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
HAHA! That made me laugh!😂
If Trey's former partner is fishing a competitive trail for points and said trail happens to be fishing at wheeler the week before bass, then the guy should fish and Trey should abide by the no communication rule in place and everyone live on in peace and harmony. Fish trail schedules often overlap on the same bodies of water and its just part of what we all deal with these days. Not that big of a coincidence that his once partner fished on Wheeler last week. I feel certain that J Lee, Justin Atkins, Kyle Welcher, Hammer Herren, Canterbury and several others have very current and hot info a phone call away but that doesn't mean they will take the info, putting their reputations in jeopardy.
Agreed, and lets hope that this has happened. This is another can of worms for him and this crazy season. Cheers and tight lines!!
Trait is the Yoko Ono of BASS Fishing 😂😇🙏
HILARIOUS!!!! Cheers and tight lines!!
You got that right!!!
😂😂😂😂😂
my thoughts exactly
You nailed it!!
She is way more than just Chris's wife..... She has grew up in the fishing industry, grew up in B.A.S.S. , do ya know her dad? Do ya know her career in fishing, in marketing? Hell, trait is more connected in the fishing industry than half of the anglers are. Good for her!
Shes an awesome angler, but that isn't what I was trying to get across. What her dad, her and Chris have done in the industry is awesome. But shouldn't BASS handle this? I think they should put Trey on a polygraph BEFORE the tournament and tell us the results. Cuz a rule is a rule. Respect your opinion. Cheers and tight lines!!
This woman is a woman is will scream rape if she get caught cheating.
This woman is the new rosewood.
She just says what Chris can’t say because he will get in trouble. Talk about GREY AREA. Anglers cannot publicly speak bad about BASS, but how about having your spouse do it on your podcast sitting 3 feet from you? That’s about the same as some one asking me for tournament advice on my local lake and me saying “well I can’t tell you since that’s against the rule. But I can tell this rock on the ground right next to you and if you happen to over hear it then it was an accident.”
@@garrettsmith6886except Trait saying things Chris can’t say doesn’t give Chris an unfair advantage over the competition. I don’t think anybody is just being goody two shoes here and worried about not bending any rules as much as speaking out against something that literally has the potential of taking money out of other people’s pockets. To be fair though, I would do the same thing as the rookies if it wouldnt get me banned so I don’t blame them nor do I blame the Zaldains for speaking out.
@@Radican1 rules are rules. For an industry that complains about too much “gray area”, breaking ANY rules should result in a D/Q. Gotta enforce all of them. I agree though. I’d do the same thing the rookies did. “Everyone needs the same information”. Alright, then delete the 20 years of waypoints you have. You’ll never have an equal playing field. It’s just not possible. Someone is going to know more than someone at every event. It’s the unfortunate truth.
First off, the zaldine podcast is amazing .. second off, I have only seen your videos pop up when there is drama .. so you are no better than who you are trying to rag on . ..
Thanks!! I’m not raging on them, they asked for this to be public and I commented on it. Cheers!!
i met trey today at wheeler day 2 and he’s a great guy to everyone and it rlly seemed like all the anglers loved having him there 🤷🏻
Petty, Jealous shit is exactly what a certain person does best
I don't know her, and don't want to call her any names. She is sticking up for her husband, though he is having a good year. Cheers and tight lines!!
I think trait needs to cut the crap. This is getting ridiculous. Chris need to put his big boy pants on and but a muzzle on trait because she is outta control
With FFS now being so effective, all veteran experience doesn’t hold value anymore, who ever finds the best area with the biggest fish is winning every tournament now a days, this is why if he is getting info it’s a big deal, I’m ok with this call out
Respect that. It;s a weird situation, and one that is hard to enforce. I think they should polygraph him before the tournament. Cheers and tight lines!!
@@GetUrFishOn I respect the call-out too, but
I'd think you would let him have to hit the water and make at least one cast before you could polygraph... I haven't read their rules in years but I believe it says everyone subject to polygraph during or after the tourney.
"who ever finds the best area with the biggest fish is winning every tournament "
It's ALWAYS been that way lol.
Trait is mad because the better rookies are more successful than Chris has been. Maybe they should talk to BASS officials to see where they stand. Not that asking officials seems to be the final answer - just ask Zach Birge
These rookies are amazing. Do they have the same experience as some vets, NEVER. But they are trying and using the technology to their advantage and the vets should too. The Birge thing is still mind boggling to me. Cheers and tight lines!!
Sorry but I bet some of the rookies would love some of the zaldains sponsorship money. Success isn’t just about tournament wins these days.
They are doing good bc their daddies are buying them a boat and 30k in electronics and backing them.. doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how to use the new technology but if it wasn’t for that these kids would be nowhere close on the circuit, put him MLF with 2 9inch screens and see how well they do..
Bigbuckdown…. If the technology is so freaking easy and catching them with the FFS is so freaking easy…. Just explain to me why the older guys are failing at it? There is definitely a conversation about the new technology but this narrative of slap $30k of electronics on a boat and you just AUTOMATICALLY smash them is for people who don’t know fishing at all! Trust me if it was that simple all the Veterans wouldn’t be crying about the technology they would be smashing them as well. 100% the TRUTH whether people want to hear it or NOT! As fishing becomes more and more of a professional sport…. Ai hate to say it, but the older guys are just going to get weeded out. Legitimately I might add. How many 40 year olds can cut it in professional sports. I understand fishing is a little different with physicality, but don’t argue with me that a 40+ year old has the same hand eye coordination, the same energy levels, the same amplified focus, the same drive as these younger guys. Also as youth fishing has become bigger and badder these young guys are coming out more ready. It seems every weekend these kids are competing in 100 -300 boat fields all over the country. Stop with the narrative that these rookies can only catch fish because of FFS. It’s not true and shows a persons real fishing IQ when someone says that.
So let me get this right…..You’re gonna bash another podcast that you claim to watch and you can’t even remember its name? And you’re also going to bash them for talking “trash”? But your whole video was talking trash about them? 🤣🤣
Did you watch this video or hear someone talk about it? I didn't trash their pod, just said that I don't watch it. I've watched three, but of those three, two were mostly about MLF. If I watched this one and the other one on a consisent basis, I would know the name immediately. I didn't call anyone a name, just said, lets have bass prove Trey guilty before sending out that tweet. I would have said the same thing if the person she mentioned was Chris too. Respect your view and opinion. Cheers and tight lines!!
B.a.s.s bass anglers side show
Both circuits are a disgrace and need to be shut down
Does anyone even care about wheeler, battle of the ffs
Agreed.. more so bass as of
Late
THe battle for FFS is tough to watch. Cheers and tight lines!!
@@GetUrFishOn tough to watch more like dont watch

@@DshaunBirch bass needs to change rhe moto big stage big screens bigger debt
It seems like you might have some kind of love crush for this 19 year old rookie.
I definately do not. I am not a fan of FFS especially from a fan perspective, and I don't know Trey, but you could put anyones name there and I would have the same opinion. Cheers and tight lines!!
MLF in general.
@@kalebbrewer4509 I have been hyper critical of the changes constant with MLF and have said numerous times that BASS is a bigger platform however I try to look at things as evenly as possible in all organizations and give my opinion if they do something right or if they do something wrong, cheers to you
Gotta love them haters !!! Tell her hubby to step up his game !!!😂
I watched one podcast and y’all just complain about anything ! You can’t say BASS because well you sighed the slave contract so leave the dude alone ! I like the dude plus in this industry sad , but truth yall dog eat dog ! Slap dat hoe I would , why the people our watching your wife is killing you Chris !!😂😂😂😂🎉🎉
I watched a couple of "The Bilge" podcast today. It's a good name for it. Chris is a great guy but Trait spends the whole show trying to dig up dirt or sway opinion to her point of view. Anything anti-BPT is her foray. Why else would they interview the ex polygraph guy from BPT. She comes across vindictive and bitter. She used to fish the Opens and a friend of mine drew her as a boater. His assessment of her was not good. Who does she think she is? Got proof? Share it, if not shut up!
I am not saying anything bad about both, but I think we should give the young man a little gap here and allow him to take the polygraph. Cheers and tight lines!!
I think she’s just an angry bitter woman and just slings shit wherever she chooses. Me & her argued on X when Trey was penalized 90 minutes.. she simply is out to stop Trey because they are Jealous. The kid is smoking hot and they are not.
She drives me up the wall. You are correct that is exactly what the talk show is the Bilge. The filth in the bottom of the boat. She talks just to hear herself talk. I like Chris but she is petty bringing up this dumb $hit. She’s mad because he’s beating the doors off of Chris as a rookie. Sounds like sour grapes to me
That's exactly right. It's pretty ridiculous
That interview with the polygraph guy was great. It's nice to see behind the curtain.
Ill talk trash, why is bass promoting that cheater dang i forgot his name it was the young dude that got caught having his buddy hole sit for him in an open
He will fit right in the elites so lets promote him
They are promoting the AOY leader at this point. I know FFS plays a big part in his fishing, and lots of people don't like that, but we can't assume he's breaking every rule at every tournament. Cheers and tight lines!!
@@GetUrFishOn I was talking about the kids who had a buddy hole sot for him in an open last yr. They just had him on their podcast
Dude should of banned for life
@@Theburningseason I didn't catch that one, but that stinks. Was it Trey? Might have to go back and listen. Thanks for the info. Cheers and tight lines!!
@@GetUrFishOn tucker Smith, the next big live scoper lol dude had his buddy hole sitting and got a d.q blatant cheating like that get the f out and don't come back but nah let's promote him cause he sells transducers lol
@@Theburningseasonwow
If Trey's partner has fished every tournament in that series up to the one on Wheeler then by all means he should be able to fish this one, no questions asked. We are still in America last time I checked and he should be able to fish whatever he wants whenever he wants.
With that said Trey should be considered innocent until proven guilty just like in the court of law. I have meet the Zaldain's and even fished with Trait about 10 years ago or so. They were both nice to me.
Now that Trait is no longer fishing any BASS events she has taken it upon herself to bring a lot of these thing to light. Now before I go any further with my comment, I want the Zaldain's to think about something. Back in the day before Chris and Trait were married they roomed together while fishing some opens. So, are you going to tell me there were no info of any kind shared? Was it ok then because it was y’all? I can remember a conversation that me and Trait had and her telling me how she hated all the gossip going around about her getting help from Chris.
Now, that bring me to this next point. I know Trait like making all this public and it is ok because she doesn't fish BASS anymore. Do think Chris is innocent in this, no but that is just my opinion. I also think it give him a way to bring some of BASS’ dirt to the limelight without getting himself in trouble.
However, when you blasted someone online like she has done, all I can say is I hope she has receipts to prove what she is saying. If not Trait will have opened herself up for a potential lawsuit both civil and criminal if she doesn't have the receipts to backup what she is saying, because it is not just slander she has to worry about. There is defamation, disparagement, libel, defamatory libel and more.
Now, that is just against her. However if she goes on their podcast and post something about Trey that she cannot 100% prove and that podcast is in their LLC things get much bigger.
As I have said before, I hand it to Trait for talking about these thing that know one will. I just hope that she has done her homework. I don't believe there should any favoritism or cheating in the top level of bass fishing. I do not care who the angler is. If said angler was caught doing something wrong, a prompt, fair, public decision needs to be made. At a minimum on their web platform but should also be posted to TH-cam as well in a short video from the organization and with angler explaining what happened to educate the rest of the anglers in the field to make sure they do not make the same mistake. Somehow the organization think hiding this info to have it leaked by other sources is a better look on them, has got to be the dumbest business plan ever. You make these thing public and embarrass a few anglers in a group of his peers and things will take care of itself.
In this day and age were thing are so damn expensive and the anglers are already in a pay to play sport that makes absolutely no financial sense whatsoever the last thing the angler needs is a organization that does stuff half-ass. Let’s think about it just a little, at every level the entry fees have gone up and the payouts have gone down. The funny thing to me is when you ask the organizations about that they always come back saying that the operating cost have gone up and that is was the payout is what it is. Well my question to the organizations is do they think we are still paying the same for boats, trucks, rod & reels, tackle, gas, hotels as we did ten years ago?
I believe everyone should make money but for God sake stop rising the entry fees and lowering the payouts every year.
Sorry, I went a little long here, keep posting your videos and I hope Trait has receipts.
Vince
A little long ?
😂😂
Vince you have to much time on your hands.....most people won't read half of your comments
@@Nicholas_Forrester Possibly but I even said that in my post.
@@gregstaton128 I understand want you are saying but it doesn't take much time to put a few sentences together.
Not defending the Zaldain’s podcast here but you’ve labeled it as an overall negative for the sport but don’t know the name of the podcast.
I didn't know the name while I was filming and talking off the cuff, but put it in the video at the exact time. Sorry!! Cheers and tight lines!!
You got it right. Every one of the open anglers has a non- boater in the back who was fishing somewhere. Being an Elite pro requires some integrity and you need some proof before you print.
Yeah, this situation was wrong in a lot of ways. There is a lot more to this story on other channels. Cheers and tight lines!!
Trait said if i Prefished for Chris 2 Days before the Event. Triat fisnhed Dead Last when She Fished the Opens. She's Clueless
Shes speaks for anglers who can't and nothing happened, that I know of. Cheers and tight lines!!
I haven't seen Trait speak out without having some meat and potatoes behind it. Trait is outspoken and pulls no punches. I think she is absolutely right in speaking out. Trey has brought most all of the negative publicity upon himself. Let's see what comes out of this first, someone will have egg on their face in the end. Then they will have to explain their actions.
I’ve never seen Trait NOT talking.
If she’s not talking over everyone, she’s busy stuffing her face.
BASS needs to up raise the cut from 9 to 20 each year. It’s obvious the new fisherman coming through the Opens and BASS Nation are a level above 80% of the current Elite field. I think what we are seeing with these little “distractions and mis-directions” from the “established” elite anglers is a symptom of bigger underlying issues. It’s a good old boys club and it’s getting exposed.
That's an awesome idea
Well said. It is a good ole boy club. Lots of people have thought the Elites were so much better than MLF, but we are now realizing that there is conflict in both. Cheers and tight lines!!
Agree somewhat...but we'll see how these rookies fare when they have to meet sponsor obligations and are not able to spend every waking hour on the lake
@@jimk4267 They won't do as well. Next year things will change, and long term can be an issue. Cheers and tight lines!!
Dude , you do realize that 98% of all the anglers on the elites think that the zaldains is the best podcast out there! They have been all accused of buying waypoints etc
And Trey might have done it, but can we blast a fellow competitor before knowing everything. He might have got more info.....it makes sense, but lets see what happens with the poly. Cheers and tight lines!!
I know Trey and his supposedly fishing partner..I will cover any bet saying that there was cheating...no way and no how any cheating went on....name the amount...
They probably think it’s alright to run up on a spot where a local is already fishing and not say a word to them, and get rude and disrespectful when the local calls them on it!
If it was to benefit Chris, Trait wouldn’t say anything. It’s becoming cringeworthy.
He doesnt have to get info from his partner persoanlly, his partner just needs to record the day on the water and talk on camera and then upload it to some wannabe youtube site, where no one else will see it and its percectly legal for trey to watch cause its on the internet dang maybe i shouldnt give them ideas on how to cheat legally lol
I think anglers are allowed to gather info that way from looking things up online. It gives everyone the same advantage. Cheers and tight lines!!
@@GetUrFishOn yea that's my point its legal, just have your buddy upload it to some obscure TH-cam wanna be app, so the competition don't find it
Hey not his fault the competition didn't know where to look.
They were already doing this in the opens...just saying
It was also stated that the podcast stir up negativity but you also said you didn’t watch it. You know what assuming does
@@jwhittington188 yes I know, however the three podcasts I listened too, two of them were mostly negative. In that case, I’m not assuming, I know. Cheers!!
I just think Trait is sharing the frustrations of a lot of the established Elite anglers and I happen to love their podcast THE BILDGE
I like the pod too, but I think it's a lot of MLF bashing. I understand sharing the frustrations, and she did, but I also think we should give a little grace because he might not have talked to his buddy..... fingers crossed for him. This video is helping get the word out, and very little in the end game. Cheers and tight lines!!
Taint is only venting her frustrations not because of any thing rookies have said or done, or anything MLF has done or said. Her vitriol is a systemic problem ongoing, most likely caused because of performance issues on the water from Chris. Or perhaps she hasn’t seen or experienced the perceived successes other anglers and their families have. They use their podcast as a stage to bash MLF or specific anglers that have more notoriety. The bias is overwhelming. Same with that Luke Dunkin tool.
@@Venandii77 Couldn't agree more with your last sentence. Respect your comment and opinion Cheers and tight lines!!
@@GetUrFishOn
Chris was one of the original 80 anglers to get an invite to fish the BPT and he turned it down because he wanted to stay at BASS
It had absolutely nothing to do with him "not being able to afford it"
Chris and Trait were smart enough to see through the BS that being sold by MLF
Trait has deep and longtime connections to BASS and she is speaking out for several elite anglers, not just for Chris
Is she obnoxious at times, yes but she typically speaks facts with receipts
Thanks for the news you bring and tight lines brother 👊🏼
@@cobra99ization on one of the three pods I’ve watched they mentioned they couldn’t afford it but I could be wrong. I said years ago Chris was gonna be the new face of bass. I don’t think that has happened for a few reasons but this video has nothing to do with his fishing accomplishments. Cheers and thanks for the comment!!
Ummm… may wanna explain..
“Why is Chris “ALLOWING” Trait to speak about this….”
You will get crucified here… shouid she taje the shackles off her too ?
Nah. He had it right the first time. She needs to step off the mic with her asinine comments and work her way back to the kitchen. Those sammiches ain’t gonna make themselves !
( its satire guys )
yea i had a gripe with this too but i get what he might mean with his working relationship with bass but yikes do not like the tone of that wording took me back to the 1950s
He said exactly what he meant. My wife would never get on shit like that talking, women should sit back and listen, not do the talking. Because of exactly what's happening here, she's running her mouth about shit she doesn't understand or have any business speaking on, typical woman behavior. Leave the topics up to Chris, a man, and sit back and listen.
it's about protecting his brand and their paychecks...not a female thing.
Would you want your significant other going to your company party and raising a fuss in front of the boss?
Not about holding someone back...just protecting what you have
If Chris was worried about protecting his brand he would have muzzled trait along
Time ago.
As far as my spouse talking aloud at a Christmas party… our vp’s and upper management are used to mouthy spouses and give benefit of doubt at Christmas party.
Go back years when the elites where at st clair, one pro was half way down lake Erie and another half way down lake Huron ain't no way them dudes found them fish by themselves. It takes for ever finding fish in them big lakes
I agree , and they try to make the argument that waypoints are no good from year to year but the last I checked rock piles don’t move! I guess they should just let them all buy waypoints ! Then you got this guy calling out Chris Zaldain for clicks WTF
@shanebridges4388 I am not calling them out for clicks. I am giving my opinion on something that they tweeted, and bringing more people, probably very few people, more knowledge on the situation. We can have a difference of opinion on this topic which I respect yours but it's an opinion. Cheers and tight lines!!
My question to you..... anglers sharing a house together and all make checks tournament after tournament, they all found the same group of fish? Respect your view! Cheers and tight lines!!
@@GetUrFishOn yea just like when Ike and Ken cook the golden boys of Berkeley back in 2000s found the same school of smallies on oneida lake, both top 10 the tourney , team fishing isn't a level playing field
Elites sharing homes with Guides they are friends with …Is the bigger issue
In five years I'll still be watching trey on the Elite level, probably Chris want be there. I'm alright with that
Maybe, I don't know, he is having a good 2024 IMO. At one time I thought he would be the face of BASS, but for some reason he is not anymore. Cheers and tight lines!!
I have a few friends that fish the elites and I can tell you what she’s talking about is being discussed by many. She’s bringing it to the surface, she’s not making accusations but she’s pointing out issues. So what happens if this guy did find some waypoints during the tournament and he passes them on to Trey? If bassmaster is involved they are investigating and he should be penalized if he got info. I also don’t think Trey is this innocent kid everyone sees, I know Swindle shouldn’t have approached him in front of a media member but Trey shouldn’t have responded the way he did “well, good for you”. You do realize that most rookies do not get the criticism? It’s really just 2 that get more criticism than others. Hell I think the Zaldains have taken a liken to a few of them.
Btw, Wheeler is my second most fished lake and it will most likely be won from waypoints on shell beds, it absolutely sucks this year. The grass is gone (TVA killed it) and the fish will be schooled up and probably in the Decatur flats. Many of the elites fished there last year in the open but it’s fishing different this year. I think this tournament will suck. Just like the hat Jordan Lee wears which represents that lake “This Lake Sucks”.
Lastly, I don’t think they shit on MLF, it’s just they deserve the criticism. Slick Johnson constantly criticizes MLF, and it’s all warranted. Just look at what they did to Watson and most recently with Birge.
Respect your view. I think bass should handle it then discussed in public. Trey isn’t innocent but let’s not make him guilty before they look into, which they are not gonna find anything cuz bass doesn’t polygraph people and they don’t want the golden child to have his rep tarnished. And respect and cheers!!
@@GetUrFishOn I respect your opinion as well, it’s why I watch your stuff. You have a great channel. Just curious, did you see MLF reversed the penalty on Birge? That would make a great video!
Did they? I did not see that!! That’s awesome news!! Cheers!!
Disagree, the Zaldain podcast is probably the most honest and accurate one out there. The sport is in a bad spot currently & they’re addressing it at least.
Respect your opinion. I will say, at least they have the guts to say things, where others will not. Thanks for the comment. Cheers and tight lines!!
He can’t even check in on time unless someone calls him
SO true and it cost him. Cheers and tight lines!!
Trey tried to fish the opens and couldn't make it when it was a far easier way into the elites. She is jealous her husband should be fined and censored for drawing drama to BASS . Since BASS already knows, then it's in their court to deal with. Dragging it to the court of non informed opinion should have conciquenses.
Thanks for the comment and respect!! While she says no jealousy, it doesn't ocme across like that for me. I think Trey should be given a polygraph before the tournament and if good, then remove and apologize. If bad, well we have some serious issues. Cheers and tight lines!!
I find it funny you bash their podcast on yours... .but theirs is negative....right...
Thanks. I try not to bash and I consider these a vlog more than pdcast, but appreciate the comment. Cheers and tight lines!!
He's just telling the truth, I've watched most of them and trait does nothing but instigate negativity in the podcast which is bleeding into the entire fishing world.
She just stating a fact, should just be looked into
ANd it should be done before the tournament starts. Cheers and tight lines!!
And her tweet clearly says that BASS is aware of it.
It’s a shame you can’t generate original content for your show.
Maybe you need to focus on making genuine connections within the fishing industry instead of compiling clips from other creators.
Thanks for the comment. In this video which clip did I use? It’s okay, you don’t know anything about me or this channel. Cheers and tight lines!!
Honestly they're not looking for info. Their mad because they say the rookies have been setting brush piles on the lakes that their going to. That's what i heard about a month ago
Yeah, couple rookies got info when the elites can not. I’m but that’s been changed. Cheers!!
In my humble opinion, if you have an issue or even a suspected issue with another angler it should be taken to the tournament director. Blasting it on social media does nothing good for the sport. This is a community, and that community is like family. You don't talk crap about your family to strangers.
Enjoying the content. Keep up the good work.
So I agree with you completely, but these days many people are quick to bash. I have heard it on this video, but I am trying to get the opinion out without talking a ton of trash. But that's tough too. Hope your doing well. Cheers and tight lines!!
I think you’re shooting the messenger. Trait is getting her info from other anglers. She is part of the industry like all wives are and has a right to put her two cents. She did not say Trey was cheating. She is questioning his judgement. The purpose of their podcast is to get people to open up and say it like it is. Keeping it honest is the Zaldain’s “Trait” 😊
You are correct, her thoughts and voice is from what she is hearing from other anglers, but lets wait until BASS does their thing before hurting another anglers rep. Cheers and tight lines!!
I just like to catch fish 😂😂
#takeakidfishing
Me too!! Cheers and tight lines!!
Just don’t go during a tournament or one of the pros will throw a conniption fit saying they are gonna come and disturb you at your workplace. 😂
@@Larryrandom2549 I think this was an 'anglers' version of a Seinfeld bit. Cheers and tight lines!!
Half the anglers in the elites know someone that has fished most of the lakes fairly recently. Her jealousy is getting ridiculous. One comment said something about her career as a fisherman...I'd hardley call it that. Bottom of barrel every single derby.
She speaks for the anglers who can't, and that's the real issue. Cheers and tight lines!!
It’s not just Chris she is speaking for brother, there is a whole slew of veteran anglers that want these things out in the open but don’t want a target on their back. If she is wrong i guarantee he will apologize. It may seem a little unfair to the rookies but clearly BASS won’t address the whispers behind closed doors so the only way to get these controversies looked into is to go public. If nobody stands up and speaks about shady things then they only get shadier as time goes on. I don’t think it’s fair to accuse people of spewing negativity when they are just relaying information that has come to them.
I hope someone apologizes, but as of now we haven't seen or heard anything about the situation. BASS doesn't want the negative stuff, EVER, but they need to be more transparent. Respect your opinion. Cheers and tight lines!!
Didn't Becker get caught up in that mlf (#FBD) deal on one of the great lakes last year? Where they were using ffs and repeatedly catching the same fish. I'm pretty sure that Luke Dunkin covered it on his Low Budget Live podcast.
Possibly. I’ll check and ask others. Cheers!!
You can listen to information but you can not ask for information.
McKinney has got info from friends,it stretches the rule
That rule is the toughest to enforce. Cheers
@@GetUrFishOn so true
It's pretty easy to see why she is mad bass knows what is going on and they haven't done anything about it....
Hopefully BASS is looking into it and does something if true. Cuz a rule is a rule. Cheers and tight lines!!
First BASS has held Trey accountable and did penalize him when he actually broke a rule.
Second: BASS isn't going penalize anyone for not breaking rules and just hurting people's feelings because they are getting beat.
@scottlopez7622 why would she be jealous....and your going to tell me his partner fished the same lake he has a tournament at and they never spoke about it....come on......
@@mikel.4885 I do t see why that's sooooo hard to believe. Trey knows the info rules used them to his advantage and I am sure he isn't breaking them.
Honestly it won't matter either way if he passes or fails the polygraph test because of he passes folks will just say it's rigged and they "know" he's cheating: I just hate it for him because he's living his dream and getting so much hate: I just hope he's getting more positive feed back privately than all the hate he is getting publicly. You're all just jealous.
@scottlopez7622 I could care less about him no jealousy here....
First not one veteran on tour is hating on Trey . He’s opened up the door for people to talk by playing in the grey area . Remember integrity is what you do when no one’s looking . Nothing against the kid myself but some things I’ve heard other pros say about him off camera and out of sight is worrisome . You talking shit on the zaldains is plain jealousy to the point your using their name for views. See he should t be putting himself in a position for anyone to talk yet he’s doing opposite . Who’s to say his partner isn’t using one of his units and just dropping waypoints on it . I mean come on man
Integrity is CRUCIAL!! I am not talking shit about the Zaldains, giving an opinion on a tweet the was released by her calling out someone before BASS or anyone said anything. I didn't call them on name, didn't call their pod anything bad, just noticed it's a lot of bashing of MLF. I am giving my view on something that they did while targeting one angler, and you could have put Chris's name there and I would have the same opinion. Cheers and tight lines!!
Considering how he disrespected Swindle he seems like the typical spoiled rich kid type. I wouldn't put anything past him. This seems to be a pattern with younger guys in their first year dominating. Becker did it last year on MLF tour. They are great with FFS and along with the extra knowledge they got with that loophole really helped. We'll see how many stay on top after the first couple years. I would hope BASS is staying on top of this info issue. MLF is WWE now-anything goes if Boyd likes you. JMO
I hope BASS stays on top of this, but I am going to assume that we will not hear anything else about this.... they don't like negative stuff, and they don't polygraph people enough. Also this is the toughest thing to enforce. Cheers and tight lines!!
So you say all facts should be gathered before making judgment, but you are making judgment by taking Trey's side before all info is gathered. You are also talking, as you word it, shit about Trait. You are a joke.
Thanks for the comment. I am giving an opinion on something that was written before proven guilty. And he might have done it, but they also wanted this to be public. Cheers and tight lines!!
It is very difficult to enforce the no information rule. I've seen some things that really make a person question things. Like I saw 2 different guys run to an area on a 180,000 acre lake, turn at the same stump and start to fish at the same jug on a trotline. I find it hard to believe it was a coincidence. To add a little to that, the year before; another guy stopped within 100 yards of that spot too. It ain't a community hole.
It's impossible! And the anglers talk amoungst themselves, share houses and more, and they talk about the fishing. What else will they talk about? Cheers and tight lines!!
@@GetUrFishOn The no info rule is enforced with polygraph test, right?
@@rickyphillips2552 If the angler is selected, maybe. Not every angler is picked or polygraphed. Cheers!!
Honestly with livescope pro fishing is lame. Learning curv is gone, experience means nothing. When guys are winning in the pros who couldn't catch a cold without it im out. They should have a league that doesn't use it and people would watch it alot more. If rather watch feider flip then watch a guy stare at a screen.
They will make some changes HOPEFULLY, but I do agree and with you. I am not a fan of watching angler fish while using FFS. Cheers!!
If you break any trash talk down far enough it will 99.99% come down to JEALOUSY. It’s human nature and we as good humans have to fight against it and learn to keep our mouths shut and if you can do it long enough you will win the battle and learn to be TRULY HAPPY for anyone including strangers that do well in life
Awesome comment. I am doing this exact thing right now. Cheers and thank you!!
I 100% agree with you, her saying it wasn't jealousy was basically her saying that it is jealousy/envy.
AGREED!! Cheers and tight lines!!
This country has completely turned everything into guilty first. It’s sad and for clicks
And he might be guilty, but we have to have some sort of way to know before bashing someone, IMO. This isn't the first nor will it be the last. Cheers and tight lines!!
@@GetUrFishOn completely agree. The assumption of guilt is crazy
Didn’t Poche forfeited an MLF event because he fished the same body of water like two weeks ago for another trail? This is the right way to go. There has been role models already showing these young angler how to deal with similar situations, why not follow? Agree Trait might have sound negative, but she is not just crying for Chris. Doesn’t matter if Trey got info purposely from his partner or not, it is unfair to everyone else in the Elite. And, if the same young angler becomes the focus of multiple recent events, I don’t think it is the jealousy from the old boys club, I look at the young angler himself. Don’t forget, when Jordan Lee won two Classics back to back, nothing dramatic was around him like this. Lear how to be a good person before craving that trophy too much. After all, it is fishing.
Trait is speaking for a group of anglers whom can't say what they want or should, which is an issue. This rule about information is the hardest to enforce, and I think, and I could be wrong, but we should allow BASS to find out if Trey did or didn't before putting out that tweet. Appreciate your comment and view!! Respect it. Cheers and tight lines!!
@@GetUrFishOn Given the new development from the Smith event day 2, the Trey team needs to take a step back and assess their path forward in the fishing industry. Associate his name with DQ and controversy this frequently is not going to make him look good by any means. Sponsorship will also see damage. Criticism is good for him now, not unconditional protection.
@@fishybassvon5752 I'm thinking about doing a video titled, most controversal rookie to join the elites? whatcha think? Cheers and tight lines!!
She apparently can’t shut up .. any normal person who is suspicious of something would sit back and see how the tournament unfolds before making accusations that could make her look like an ignorant c u next Tuesday … this is a shining example of when a man should advise his wife to refrain from reacting to emotion
She is talking for anglers who can’t talk. She has a lot of insight. Cheers!!
I disagree with you. I do not feel it is petty. She may not have the best of intentions but I believe the major tours have swept too much under the rug for years. I don't even watch MLF anymore and it has nothing to do with what Trait Zaldain has said. Boyd started it all when he let it be know he wanted to destroy BASS. Competition is a good thing and there is plenty of room for 2 major tours. But the way MLF has done things is a joke. And you even mentioned that many anglers have an issue with how this rookie crop went about things. I take it that Trait is just saying what no one else can. If it was all just petty jealousy why has she not done it in the past?
I respect your opinion. She’s mentioned Trey numerous times, but she knows a lot and hears a lot. Cheers!!
Bass fishing tournaments starting to sound like the WNBA with all the hatred against some rookies
You don’t even know the podcast name and want to bash it? I have listened to it quite a bit they don’t say anything that isn’t the truth. And not to beat a dead horse we wouldn’t even be talking about these video game kids unless it was ffs? Nope not a chance.
But did I bash it? Ive listened to three of them, two were about MLF mostly. If I listened to the podcasts more frequently, I would know the name quickly but I don't. They speak the truth on many things, but in this instance, nothing happened and we don't know if it was true or anglers truth. Respect your view!! Cheers and tight lines!!
I dont think chris cares i think he is gonna leave and just focus on youtube i dont think he needs the peasant change payouts from the elites, chris diesnt need the views from bass for sponsors he gets plenty on his yt
I think you are right. Chris hasn’t been relevant in a while. Yes sitting 14th in AOY… but lets be real. He has no shot at top 5.
His moron wife Taint, is nothing but a MLF bashing drama queen and she always brings up Jacob wheeler … like some type of infatuation. Pathetic really
He is a great angler and good dude, I know that personally. I think I interviewed him years ago a week or two after getting married, but my brain is getting old and forget things. Cheers and tight lines!!
Drama talking about drama - thought the narrative was how to catch more fish!
I still attempt to do that also, but covering the sport is what people watch. Respect your view. Cheers and tight lines!!
Sorry I agree with Trait. She is exposing everything and saying what others are afraid to say because of contracts. I'm so glad I have moved away from the bass fishing industry and do my own thing. Bass anglers are the biggest babies in the fishing industry.
Respect your opinion and agree, she is talking for a group of anglers, but at what point is okay to talk about an angler before BASS has done their research. And she is probably right, just wanna see the organization say something before someone who is hearing second hand perspectives. Cheers bro!!
There is an easy solution, open it up to any information that the angler can get. Everyone knows they are getting info from any and all publicly available posts. So just take the rule out and make it where you can get information where ever you want or can.
The rule is almost impossible to enforce, and its something that needs to be looked at. Great idea!! Cheers!!
Trait knows a lot more than what she posts id be willing to bet she knows something we do not
She knows and hears a lot from the anglers they hang with. She definately knows more than she can say. Cheers and tight lines!!
I think you over stepped in saying chris needs to tell her to shut her mouth. She is Chris's wife and I know he has more respect in how he would have talked to her about it than just telling her to shut her mouth. If I was chris I would be omw to teach you a lesson on how to get your point across and not be disrespectful.
Respect your opinion. I think that Chris and others say something and then Trait repeats it because she can't get into trouble. I never said 'chris need to tell her to shut her mouth", though I said "stop talking trash" & "stop talked shit" but never that Chris should tell her to shut up. I'm sure we will see each other and I will hear about this at some point, but she asked for this to go public, and I gave my opinion and did my research beforehand. Cheers and tight lines!!
Or, Trait spells out/calls out things Chris is thinking and isn't allowed to say. She's very well informed about the bass world... She knows what most don't. She just chooses to talk about it, which is exactly ewhy should be done!
She speaks for anglers who can't, and that's the problem. She catches a lot of grief because of this. Cheers and tight lines!!
Zaldangerous is the best fishing podcast! They just shining light behind the scenes on the BS
oh you just wait till after the weigh-ins the butt hurt is gonna be so bad your gonna see some meltdown like hot soft butter. would not be surprised to see 3-4 rookies in the top 10, lettttsssss goooo.
This will be another FFS tournament so we might see a bunch of em in there. Cheers and tight lines!!
The zaldains (sorry for misspelling) figured out a way to voice the opinions of the bass anglers or a group of them and speak their opinions that will get heard without anyone going against any sort of contracts. That part I love. They do have some great guest on the pod and one of my favorites is the guy that used to run the lie detector interviews. He basically got pushed out because he was to good and took his job very seriously
I’ve had others say that’s a great pod, I might try and watch it. They have every right to speak up but let’s do it after the person has done something wrong. They have the anglers well being in mind, because there is some shady things happening. Cheers!!
I think you're doing the same thing she's doing. She voiced her opinion, and you voiced your opinion about her. What does it solve? Nothing
Very true. Respect your comment!! Cheers!!
How do you Watch pod cast Several times but You Don't Know the Name of it ?
I’ve watched three of their podcast so it isn’t one in my mind at that point. And I’m old. Cheers!!
She is trying to cause a distraction for Trey. Same thing Lance Armstrong went through when he was in his prime and battling cancer. He went on to another yellow jersey and passed all drug test in the process. A lot of whispering in the ranks though. I have watched Trey for last 3-4 tournaments and have nothing but respect for the young man. Go get’em Trey!
Everyone I know says Trey is very respectful. He and I talked for 1-2 minutes during an Open and I didn't think anything negative of the young man. Cheers and tight lines!!
You are gossiping about her. I had a negative interaction with Trey while on the Harris Chain locking through. Fishing should be drama free.
What did I say that was gossip? I didn't make the original twitter post, did I? Sorry you had a bad interaction with Trey, I do not know him, just know that we have to allow BASS to do their thing before thrashing his name. And you could have put anyone's name in the tweet and I could have said the same thing, even Chris's! Cheers and tight lines!!
I like the content and loving the drama🤗🤗🤗 Loving the soap opera🤓"The Fish and the Fishless" 🤪😜
She is talking about waypoints. You obviously didn’t listen to the polygraph expert they had on that the show. Bass hired him to administer polygraphs then basically said he wasn’t doing them correctly. He was an expert in criminal polygraph tests and taught other agencies to administer them across the US. Also you’d have be naive at best if you think they aren’t sharing information. You can’t get butthurt about them calling out the white elephant when there’s a white elephant in the room. You’re making a TH-cam video stirring up propaganda for clicks. The problems exist because these organizations tested the waters letting pros use unlimited electronic technologies no other sport get to use.
Did I post the original twitter post? I commented about it, that's all. I didn't listen to that expert, you are correct about that. And the organizations need to improve, but that rule is almost impossible to enforce, not to mention, the odds are against Trey being polygraphed. He was allowed to do what he did during the offseason, plain and simple. And they changed the rules recently, but if he wasn't fishing and doing so well would anyone have this conversation? Respect your view! Cheers and tight lines!!
These rookies are doing good because of livescope its that simple
I can't say anything here, I agrere...... but the vet anglers could and should learn it and have had more time than some of these younger anglers. Cheers and tight lines!!
Lol who want's to watch the elite anymore. Take away forward facing sonar and see how good these young men do .
Why everyone talking about lie detector tests? Y’all know they are a joke and not accurate, at all, right?
@@matthewwoodard9810 yes but it’s something they can use to do some sorta help. Cheers!!
what do you think you are doing? pot calling the kettle?
You’re somewhat right however I didn’t put out the original tweet blasting someone for something that could not or has not been proven. Cheers!!
The reason MLF was formed and everyone jumped ship is because BASS had issues. The people that stayed thought they'd dominate with all the guys leaving. That didn't happen. Now both BASS and MLF have people braking rules unchecked and nothing is happening unless its on video. Management for both organizations should be changed before it is irreversible.
Agreed!! I think we are seeing some cracks again in BASS and it's been all rainbows and puppies.....don't know if that works, but it's a crazy thing right now out there. Cheers and tight lines!!
Trey must have turned down a guest invite from their show? I guess you can “assume” every angler has the potential to get info from someone if they tried? 🤷🏽♂️
LOL Stopping at a local tackle shop you can see and hear info. It's tough to enforce, but having a buddy go fishing there is a little easier. Cheers and tight lines!!
God, Trait is insufferable
The whole Bass fishing profession needs an overhaul. When both leagues (BASS & MLF) let the sponsors dictate the business end, make calls to the tounament directors and make rule changes that benefit current market trends they're getting fat off of (i.e. FFS) while professionals are struggling to pay entry fees and have to find the perdiem to pay for traveling, lodging, and food expenses and by the way they are not on salary, trying to maintain their gear and keep up-to-date with new tech trends, etc., etc, etc., yeah I would say this profession really needs to be rebooted. When you have to spend $125k to $150k for a boat to include electronics and then entry fees, and as I stated before lodging, fuel, food and other expenses, you got to ask yourself why?
I’ve got a video on Monday about is the grass greener with bass or mlf and spoiler, it’s shocking what a few anglers make per tournament. Thanks for the amazing comment and insight. Cheers!!
I think trait is making noise for the elite anglers (not just Chris) that can’t say these things publicly. Sure she’s obnoxious but she’s not under any contracts. I’m sure it’s hard on Chris but he’s willing to take those hits for the rest of his cohorts. Props to trait and chris for making these things public.
While she might not speak for the group in whole, she is speaking for them and the things that she hears and sees. If it's true, I give her props also. Cheers and tight lines!!
@@GetUrFishOn it’s definitely true, they funnel info to trait and she at least has the guts to do it while using her actual name. Randy Flowers, Slick Johnston, and Luke dunkin are other examples of this sort of “information leaking”. It’s a dirty job but glad that people are doing it.
@@ClayWilliamson I respect that. Cheers bro.
Totally agree, she is using her voice to say things others cant because they do not want to be black balled. I see no problem with her calling people on their shit. I would do the same thing. Everyone is trying to hide and she making the noise that needs to be heard. Pro Bass angling is so political now, someone has to say something
The rule is screwed and Trait is not wrong.
The rule is TOUGH to enforce. She speaks for a lot of anglers that can't. Cheers and tight lines!!
Chris is sitting well in aoy she’s her own human being like I don’t get why you have to form the narrative that she wears the pants when like everyone can think what they want just because you are married doesn’t mean you have to form the same opinions 24/7 like what are you getting at?
She is speaking for anglers and that’s okay, but let’s have B.A.S.S. do their thing before a tweet? Cheers!!
A lot to unpack with the 'drama queen'. They had the ex-polygraph guy from MLF on and he insinuated the person they replaced him with was no good.
She jumped all over that...but how do we know the BASS examiner is doing a proper job???
If you listen to that podcast, the examiner clearly states you cannot pass or fail. Only show possible deception.
She is all about taking down anglers who catch them better than Chris
I like the guests they have on, but Trait is insufferable. Chris attempts to reign her in. Honestly, at this rate i believe she is doing more harm than good to his career.
I agree. I have not watched that episode, but you are in the majority. I think she has an MLF issue. One of the three episodes I have watched, I think she had a 'duckett' or something shirt on. It's things like that, that I disagree with. How can you be level or have a discussion when you already have something on that shows how or who you support? Cheers and tight lines!!
She’s cost her own husband sponsors with her mouth, obviously she’s not going to care about slandering other anglers. Saying “this isn’t jealousy” is the same as saying “no offense” before you say something offensive.
Agreed. I really was trying not to be offensive and to give my opinion and stand point. If I did so, I’ll apologize. But this is going to be swept under the bus cuz this rule can’t be enforced properly. Cheers!!
@@GetUrFishOn I think his former partner is entitled to fish wherever he wants. Keith Carson and John Cox are a perfect example of this. No one would say boo if they overlapped lakes like this.
@@fishingthe262 exactly right. Both are friends and live near me. I’ve fished in John’s backyard together. Cheers!!
Chris and Randy have to try to find away to make some money. They ain’t making it in fishing industry anymore. They are feelings are hurt y’all bare with them farts 💨 🤣🤣💯❤️
TH-cam is a tough business also, you must have some big hits or else it's really hard to make money. Cheers and tight lines!!
If BASS would have regulated the new technologies coming out in the first place. This topic all would be a non starter for bs….
No one said anything about Wheeler getting info from a guide on Wheeler lake before a tournament.
I have not heard about this, can you tell me more? Cheers and tight lines!!
The drama is a big turn off she needs to stay in her lane
Respect!! Cheers and tight lines!!
They all cheat in some form or another, especially at that level "pro" bass fishing had lost all dignity at this point
She's upset that there are better fishermen than her husband. If he spent his time on the lake graphing and perfecting his craft instead of a girly podcast, he'd probably salvage his career. That whole pod is nothing but crying, bitching, whining, pouting, its hard to stomach it. Like the "View" fishing edition.
Enforcing this one is the toughest. Cheers and tight lines!!
You used the word "slander" multiple times. What in the tweet is untrue?
What’s been proven? If nothing is true, then doesn’t that tweet cause him reputation damage? Cheers!!
Trait just fires off the hip. She’s right on most but not all. If it’s slander the McKinney kid should sue her for such! I do think there has been some shady stuff going on but you got to prove it.
I think many people and anglers make it look like it's SO MUCH BETTER with BASS than MLF. And it probably is better, but it isn't all roses. Cheers and tight lines!!
Sounds like a jealousy assumption to me. Had a lot of respect for Chris until they bashed every rookie on the circuit. Just mad they are getting destroyed. Now, I do agree if this is an assumption with potential evidence by many he should be put on a lie detector and get this taken care of. But pros slamming a 19 year old kid on social media chasing his dream. RIDICULOUS! I want to make the elites as much as anyone else, but these pros are making me feel like I would not be welcome if I did make it fair and square...
A couple of things here that Im seeing. One, the tournament has not even started so technically he hasn't cheated yet. Even if he received information, at this point no fish were weighed or anything so no cheating has occurred. Second, why in the world would she go on social media and post this crap before the tournament even starts? If you have proof that an angler is getting information, turn that proof over to the organization and let the organization handle it. In order for him to be cheating he will actually have to fish in the tournament to be able to use the information that he acquired to be considered a rule violation or cheating. Trait should have waited to post this stuff. Let the organization have a chance to investigate the claims and do what it needs to do. She also says that there is other stuff going on at that tournament. Again why would she post something like that and the damn tournament hasn't even started. Look if someone is violating the rules then fine let the organizations handle it and once that happens wether it went the way the complainant wants it to go or not then they can go out make their post and have a field day. Steve, you named this one perfect " More Drama"
Thanks. Catching a little heat, but I agree. I think BASS needs to be on top of this more than anything and possible polygraph BEFORE the tournament. If it comes back clean, then we have more issues. Cheers and tight lines!!
Her tweet said it’s known by BASS and there are many issues going on at wheeler right now so stay tuned….
Ill say, if he is cheating then they need to address it. However, i do not care for the zaldains because there is always some sort of drama around them. Partnering with googan shows even more. However, if people are enjoying the drama in fishing then they do not care for the sport but to find something to be outraged over.
Nothing happened to Trey that I know of, but they won't share that info. We probably won't know the end results, but we know the allegations. Cheers and tight lines!!
