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.

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

[@Zaldaingerous]

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.

[@benjaminbroom9514]

U may or may not remember me from California. My grandfather Don Payne raised me and we fished the northern CA lakes like Don Pedro, Clear Lake, the CA delta all with swimbait and heavy jigs deep for the big largemouth. He thought me that old school way of catching fish when it gets tough and when to adapt when the weather makes a change for the better. You are one of the greats from this generation. Your style reminds me of everything I had been taught as a young child years ago!!! Keep on whackin them !!
