Great story by the the Marshall and what a memory on that guy! Cool vid hearing all the details and seeing behind the scenes a little.Thinking that was a televised catch on your lost swimbait and someone was out there the next day diving
Me and my brother fished that tournament this year. I heard you was at the owners tournament over the radio and almost headed to the marina to get a pic, but was all the way across the lake. I told my wife to get me a autograph and pic, and she said she never saw you. I watch this video, and bam. There you are, at one point, 3ft behind my wife and 2 kids under the tent. She is a big Trait fan, I'm sure she could have picked her out of the crowd a mile away.
Next year I’ll stay for more than a day trip! Trait stayed at home with the dogs. We adopted a third dog during the tournament so she had her hands full in Fort Worth.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 your freaking awesome Chris!!!! Kevin VanDam taught me how to fish, now you're teaching me how to fish My Success goes to you too and the passion I have for fishing!!!!
Thanks for doing this video, great to see all the stuff and vendors etc, one of the best videos I've seen. Its different and talking to all the people that is basically behind the scenes!!
Man cool video, was routing for you, and was routing for you at U.s. open, wish i was not so shy or like to give celebrities their space. Managed to sneak few photos of you. Good luck next season, say hello to Trait
Magnet is a good idea, also a casting net would work to. Even if you didn't land the casing net directly on the bait you could drag it & it should grab the hooks. I kept my old casting net just for that purpose. so if I loose a good swimbait I could try to retrieve it & not care if I rip the net up doing so ..
Man as soon as you said something about loosing that glide and someone seen where you where at they where there on the first good calm day and got it but nice you get an A for effort another A for the great video brother and most of all a great big ole fat A+ for showing the hole hunt even though you didn’t find what you wear looking for brother keep up the good work
I don’t think you explained it what was the deal with the little 2-3 pounder you had when you were swimming around was it connected to the tree with line?
Hey there Chris, I’m a big fan of yours from Northern California. Thanks for the great video I loved it, you’re so funny. I would do the same thing if I lost that bait. Maybe you can get a diver to help you with finding the swim bait. Well best of luck with getting that bait. I hope you have a successful season!
I was watching this and it disappeared 😂 Nice that was your old Marshall she's when he pulled up that 11 and said that's a new Skeeter boat, potentially- I gotta giddy like that was my fish 🤣🤣🤣
We were camping Father's day weekend at the same place as you. We never ran into you at the ramp or at the campsite, were you just fun fishing or practicing for an event?
Great video. I never knew the behind the scenes workings of a tournament. Good luck with the swim bait recovery. I've gone over the side for many a lures. I always carry my Gerber folding saw, goggles, snorkel and fins. My lure value / I'm getting wet threshold is a lot lower though. Best of luck in the season man.
This is an awesome video man. A for effort for sure on looking for the swimbait! I believe that about the line. I kayak a river a lot and that's usually what I get stuck on, line.
Hey Chris I'm a huge fan love your content would love to be able to fish with you. I live here in Panama City Florida if you're over on this side give me a holler
That was a good try, just too much area to cover. Well, now you can start your new channel magnetic fishing! Great job in the last tourney! Keep it up, Chris!
Man great vid. I think I live pretty close to ya. Lets give it another go trying to find your swimbait. If nothing else we can if we come up empty handed.
Sorry you lost your swim bait, that sucks. Very enjoyable video though. Side bar --- I'm jealous you have that 2022 1794. Ordered mine in March and still waiting. :-(
The wind was blowing left to right really hard when you lost it. I bet it drifted up to 40 yards away before it finally settled on the bottom. I know this happens from losing rods....they dont go straight down.
Unless that swimbait was waited to be an extremely fast sink it would never have stayed on the bottom right where you lost it. In 5-6 ft of water your bait as a slow sink would have never been on the bottom but barely the hooks touching... bouncing up and down. With the wind and movement of the water its probably 100s of yards in a different area.
I know this was a wile ago you lost it but if you lose another one you should do a collaboration with jiggin with Jordan he is a TH-camr who does alot of waterway cleanup with dive gear " treasure hunter"if you will !! .
You need a stronger magnet I don’t know what yours is but it needs to be like the highest they got it I bought one that was I think around 800 I was like 400 of pull on one side 400 of pull on the other side that’s not even strong enough grab the hooks you should ask that guy Jake that scuba diver Show him your video and ask Never know he might be close enough to where he’s at I think he’s in Florida
@@Zaldaingerous you see this guy posing as you telling me I won a prize? Here I am thinking I'm texting you and we're about to be swimbait bro's ripping lips together and holding up huge trophies we won co-angling bass tourneys while we're spraying champagne on our fans.
We a bunch of crack heads for our big baits !!! Luv it y’all, I’ve had to drag huge treb’s on uber to retrieve lost Gan-Craft n a Roman a buddy had to throw to show his sack was draggin. Wicked DD 22 story man, keep in givein to our next gen brah. broke off $155 in cranks in one day on cars sunken by farmers for erosion. Gotta be in it ta win baby. Crazy mineral content in da fork

@@theperfectpaintertoolreview You can do whatever you want, it is widely accepted that keeping a calm demeanor about what your doing is very important. You’re using a lot of money as an example, how about we compare to something even more valuable like a human life. In life or death situations do professionals promote emotional, erratic, behavior based on emotions? No! Of course not. They tell you to keep calm and think through the problem for your best chance at survival. Overall there are very few benefits if any for acting out of anger and emotion.
This was like watching Bevis and Butthead meet fishing. 😂😂😂 That whole segment of you on the life jackets was hilarious 👊👊🤙🤙
We were all pulling for a glidebait reunion, but still a great video. You're a genuine dude, I appreciate that!
Thanks Willy 👊🏽

Lol yup
Thanks for doing this video, great to see all the stuff and vendors etc, one of the best videos I've seen. Its different and talking to all the people that is basically behind the scenes!!
Best content ever...the hunt for lost lure!
Haha thanks!
Excellent video, we love you man thanks for all your hard work and time to make these videos 👍😊
Thanks for always supporting 👊🏽🙏
I don't live in the USA so I don't know if I qualify for it 🙂
Man cool video, was routing for you, and was routing for you at U.s. open, wish i was not so shy or like to give celebrities their space. Managed to sneak few photos of you. Good luck next season, say hello to Trait
Been waiting for your videos . Keep it coming!!! Post more !!!!
Love your channel
Should have one upload a week for the next few weeks🤞
Silly question but what swimbait is that?
have u been there since they dropped the lake. Could find it if someone else hasn't already

It’s ok we know the Magdraft is your all time favorite. 😂👌 great vid!

Weird flex but my dad held zaldanes dog at the 2022 classic at Heartwell while he signed my hat, made both of our days 😂
LOL which one? The little chubby dude or the Malinois??
The Malinois I think 😅
Front of that boat looks like a Star Trek Enterprise lol
I don’t think you explained it what was the deal with the little 2-3 pounder you had when you were swimming around was it connected to the tree with line?
Johnny was fun fishing a topwater around me while I was looking for the swimbait
A very entertaining video indeed! Good luck on the northern swing, see you at LaCrosse.
See you there, Jack!

We had a little bit of a glitch and had to re-save and re-upload 🙃
@@Zaldaingerous it's all good! Great content.
I hang around to the end!! Great behind the scenes look at the tournament, too bad the manger did not work, I would have done the same thing
Appreciate it 👊🏽
That sucks not finding your swimbait I was rooting for you dude!
I may give it another go. My marshal says I was looking in the wrong area ha!
Tried watching this earlier glad u uploaded it again
Sorry we had a hiccup we had to fix!
@@Zaldaingerous losing the swimbait footage right? Not as bad as losing your boat and watching it fly over the median!
Dammit Chris I was really hoping you would find your glide bait after going thru all that. At least you can say you gave it an honest effort.
Maybe I’ll give it another go at some point. It’s so hot rn 🥵
Great video Chris. I was hoping you found it. Good luck up north.
Thanks Greg!
Hey Chris, what’s your favorite reel and line for 8” magdrafts and glide baits?
25lb Abrazx (Seaguar) & a 13 Fishing A3 reel
Great fun 🤣 👊wonder how much one can earn spending one season searching for lures instead of fishing 🤔
Looking forward to more of these videos Z! Post often man!
Should be dropping one a week for the next few weeks!
We were camping Father's day weekend at the same place as you. We never ran into you at the ramp or at the campsite, were you just fun fishing or practicing for an event?
Just fun fishing and took a sponsor’s client out one of the days who lives in San Antonio.
Great video. I never knew the behind the scenes workings of a tournament. Good luck with the swim bait recovery. I've gone over the side for many a lures. I always carry my Gerber folding saw, goggles, snorkel and fins. My lure value / I'm getting wet threshold is a lot lower though. Best of luck in the season man.
LOL I guess snorkeling lake fork never popped into my head
I was a marshall in 2014 as well and remember seeing that branch sitting on the deck of your boat when we all got back in
It was crazy looking. There’s a pic floating around somewhere of it
Good video need to try a cast net, good luck
This is an awesome video man. A for effort for sure on looking for the swimbait! I believe that about the line. I kayak a river a lot and that's usually what I get stuck on, line.
Happens sooooo much!
@@Zaldaingerous for sure. I get out what I can.
Hey Chris I'm a huge fan love your content would love to be able to fish with you. I live here in Panama City Florida if you're over on this side give me a holler
I haven’t fished a skeeter owners tournament YET but she’s almost ready 😎
It’s pretty cool what all they do for their customers at that event.
hope u like the camper shell
That was a good try, just too much area to cover. Well, now you can start your new channel magnetic fishing! Great job in the last tourney! Keep it up, Chris!
Lol I’ve conceded I’m terrible at magnet fishing
This guy is hacking zaldaindangerous' account! TH-cam take care of these hackers! I have gotten 3 of these responses to 3 different channels!
Best videos of any pro 💯
🙏👊🏽
Man great vid. I think I live pretty close to ya. Lets give it another go trying to find your swimbait. If nothing else we can if we come up empty handed.
I’m pretty exhausted from the first search lol this heat is getting to me!
@@Zaldaingerous I hear ya.
i was halfway through watching this and ya'll took it down lol, glad its back up!
Johnny said there was a hiccup in part of it so we had to do a reload - our bad!
Sorry you lost your swim bait, that sucks. Very enjoyable video though. Side bar --- I'm jealous you have that 2022 1794. Ordered mine in March and still waiting. :-(
I’m absolutely loving the 1794!
@@Zaldaingerous Good to hear, can't wait to get mine.
do you still look for that swimbait
Lol I’ve given up
Go snorkeling for it
What swimbait did you lose?
How well does the new Tundra tow your boat?
I’m loving it!!! It’s got a knob I can turn to “tow plus” and it lets me really get on it. They built a solid truck.
cool, a Tundra will most likely be my next truck
Chris, thanks for the giveaway prize!!
Need several them magnets on a bar and make a drag cover some ground I bet you’d get it with little time that’s like looking for needle in 2 haystacks
It’s so hard with all the timber
@@Zaldaingerous no doubt fork it’s stumpy stumpy and more stumpy lol 😂
Man call the water dragons 🐉 😎😎😎 it will make a great video bro 😎
You are the second person to mention “water dragons”… guess I need to Google who these people are!
@@Zaldaingerous they are friends whit the googans bro Jordan . yappy and jake 👊🏼😎🎣
All that work and luck to catch the winning fish and then the boat is burgundy, that would be my luck 😂 I need a new boat but can't do burgundy
Lolololol
The wind was blowing left to right really hard when you lost it. I bet it drifted up to 40 yards away before it finally settled on the bottom. I know this happens from losing rods....they dont go straight down.
Possibly!!

You the man zaldain!
👊🏽
👊🏼 thanks for the IG love on the fishing with my son post 💪🏼💪🏼 kiddo freaked out
700 is mindblowing 🤯 When is your new swimbait dropping?
Icast 😁
I know this was a wile ago you lost it but if you lose another one you should do a collaboration with jiggin with Jordan he is a TH-camr who does alot of waterway cleanup with dive gear " treasure hunter"if you will !! .
I still may call Jordan up
Hell hey it's got to be in the same general area probably hooked on a tree stump or limb
Running an old closed up used casting net your will To
Rip up more thru there would get it
🔥🔥🔥
You need a stronger magnet I don’t know what yours is but it needs to be like the highest they got it I bought one that was I think around 800 I was like 400 of pull on one side 400 of pull on the other side that’s not even strong enough grab the hooks
you should ask that guy Jake that scuba diver Show him your video and ask Never know he might be close enough to where he’s at I think he’s in Florida
Bummer u did not find ur bait man
You made me laugh that’s a plus
I tried dragging a lure retriever with a lipless tied to it Friday for a shaky head that snapped off so I have no judgement...
That’s a lot of work for a shaky head!
@@Zaldaingerous trying to get the worm back, gotta protect the juice haha
You lost your mind way before throwing a $700 bait
Hey Chris!
Hi 👋
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 sucks for u maybe don’t thought a 12k lure
he doesnt find it
Awesome 👏
👊🏽
So there’s still a chance I could find it 🤔🤣
Yes lol unless someone else found it before both of us!
@@Zaldaingerous 🤣🤣
Get your boy Lunkers to call the Water dragons they'll come find it for you
What are the water dragons??
Thought the Hog Father was like $300- bait
Did you watch the episode??
If anyone can afford another one, you can brotha. That's part of fishing 🎣
LOL
Lost my car keys fishing tournament at the California delta....went swimming for 4 hours....no luck...
Ouch!!!!!
Chain link fence drag
Should have some sort of fan prize to retrieve it. Be cool.
That would be my dads dd22s from way back in day
Lol a whole tree branch of them
Cast next
Super cool
Thanks Reagh!
I know I lost a ton of dd-22’s in the same tree through the years. Could very well have been mine.
I’ve got a picture floating around somewhere of the branch
@@Zaldaingerous was it was over by the east end of the dam ?
time to learn to magnet fish
I’m bad at it lol
700 on fishing equipment GREAT... 700 on 1 lure with treble hooks made to swim UNDERWATER AROUND DEBRIS STUMPS LOGS.. REEEEEEE
great vid
👊🏽
I can't see spending that amount of money on a lure to catch a fish that I can catch on a much cheaper lure
I'll climb a tree for a chatterbait so I understand your pain. Awesome video. I like you more now.
I’m glad you like me a little more now 🤗
LOL I can understand climbing a tree if it’s for a jackhammer. Those things are expensive!
@@Zaldaingerous you see this guy posing as you telling me I won a prize? Here I am thinking I'm texting you and we're about to be swimbait bro's ripping lips together and holding up huge trophies we won co-angling bass tourneys while we're spraying champagne on our fans.
@@Zaldaingerous I guess he deleted it.
drop the way point
This is why I don’t throw $700 swim baits
Nice vid
👊🏽
Seriously 700$ for a swimbait dam you got money to lose man lol never I gone pay 700$ for a stupid lure
Who in the hell would spend that kind of money on a swim bait.
Me, Terry. Duh.
Its pretty shallow, why not get a mask and snorkel and dive for it???
I didn’t really think it through
You you probably got another one made
Oh yes a few more were made lol
Really needed a mask, drop the poles and swim around slowly!
I’m not very good at slowing down at anything in life lol
I’ve had better 🤔🤔🤔
A better swimbait????? 😲
Straight dumb dumb move...if you didn't flip the bait forward it wouldn't of snapped
LOL ok “River Hound”
Not even close to $700. They can be had for 200-300. Oh well, you should have plenty of money now that you sold out to the clown squad.
You seem to be the 🤡 in MY comment section 😭🧂
You should hire a local diver to find it!
I’m not sure they’d see much in that place!
