Big Swimbaits on Lake Fork

Chris Zaldain locks a big swimbait in his hand on Lake Fork for the Bassmaster Elite Series event. He commits to a glidebait-style swimbait as the shad spawn picks up on Lake Fork. See what Zaldain looks for on Lake Fork during a shad spawn to entice fish with his giant swimbait.

This video is the best angler perspective video of Lake Fork for 2021. The style of editing is beast level. To combine interview with actual footage in that style was flawless. Congrats to the Zaldain team for the success.

[@Zaldaingerous]

Thank you. We all have been working our rears off to bring something of value to the table. Again, thank you 🙏 - Chris, Johnny Z, & Trait

@@Zaldaingerous it was a pleasure. I’ve recently started sling big swim baits. Watching you do it while Tool is playing in the back ground……Priceless. I edited my comment. Because I meant to type “This is the coolest tournament (VIDEO) in the history of KZbin. And I’ve watched 1000’s and 1000’s of fishing videos.

I was going to say the same thing, the amount of TOOL we got, combined with swimbait action was Epic! Best Elite channel hands down. Also I totally spaced and didn't realize this was 10 months ago 😅 Keep it up Zaldain.

It's crazy because only anglers throwing big baits understand that rush when you get a hit! Pumped my fist for you numerous time throughout this video for ya Zaldaingerous.

You are the reason I got into fishing. Thank you. It saved my life.

Wow. Fishing changes lives. Tight lines 👊

[@thequixoticangler3364]

@@Zaldaingerous totally saving this. In 2016 you were on a timber patch at bull shoals near the Dogwood lodge. I doubt you will remember me but I was the lone guy on the bank and I was transfixed by you. Spent 4 years learning about this. Grew up in a very bad place. Was working thàt tournament as a caterer. Had to go back to the ghetto. Bought my first Abu 3 months ago and I caught 5 fish yesterday in 1 hour. You saved my life because I became so obsessed by fishing that I wouldn't go bang anymore. 3 weeks ago, 2 of my good friends were shot and killed in a gang shooting. I would have been there if it weren't for fishing. And it's all because you decided to fish that spot. If you are ever in Arkansas please let me know. I'll buy you dinner. Thank you Chris.

I've watched a ton of fishin shows and seen you all over them but this is the first complete video of yours I've watched and I gotta say you're one of the most exciting anglers I've watched. I probably log about 20 hours a week watching bassin videos and I'll be rolling through your entire page shortly. I don't have much confidence nor the $$ to throw big swimbaits but this video's got me so pumped up I'm gonna buy a couple. My home lake's average bass is just under 2lbs but it's got bigger girls there too and I'm headed out tomorrow to try some bigger swimbaits because of this video. Normally I'm runnin from the wind but damn I'm hoping there's wind tomorrow. You're an absolute beast dood.
