The last 15 sec was the best thing I’ve seen in a while!!!!❤

[@Three-13]

Another great video and what a BANGER stringer on that last day of practice! Thanks for taking us along

[@Zaldaingerous]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@andybrode2507]

Charles is the bomb! Awesome reel vibes!

[@Nate_Higgins]

It was super cool seeing The Bildge live. Damn, that Jimmy Houston can talk.

[@Zaldaingerous]

I got 3 questions in with him in 45 minutes. He’s a talker for sure 😂

[@christophershelton1735]

Another banger. Thanks for letting us watch.

[@Crawford515]

Chris love the channel how real you and wife are … time to walk the dogs classic love it ! Keep up the good work brother much love!!!!!!

[@Zaldaingerous]

Thanks 🙏

[@zeppelin1n4]

Trait is so smart, all she said was, "Stop swinging on em'"

[@duckhunternjm94]

Finished 36th place caught all his fish in practice 🤣

[@jamesspurlock5136]

It was great speaking with you at the classic. I had a unit patch I was going to give you but forgot them in the truck. Hopefully next event around Oklahoma area I’ll catch you again

[@Zaldaingerous]

We will be back in the area soon I bet 👊🏽

[@rolandogarza5771]

Always enjoy watching all your videos. I bought one of your swim baits, looking forward to trying it over here in the state of Washington.

[@rodthigpin1682]

Best day of fishing ever(dogs are happy to see you)! Worst day of fishing ever( dogs are happy to see you) 😃 man I love my dogs🐕 Just watched hanks pod cast. Mentioned you several times. Thank you for helping people at least discuss FFS and not have to hide from the discussion!!!! Something has to change!

[@Zaldaingerous]

You got that right! Dogs are the best

[@craiglayman751]

I'm headed to Fork next week thanks for showing some patterns. I was hoping to see some Daingerous swimbait action. Maybe I'll get a few shots to share with you.

[@Zaldaingerous]

The weather is starting to get right for some better swimmer action

[@jd8745]

Some bigs! Loveur vids! Handlin those gar w/ trebs is flirtin w/ disaster!

[@geraldbalser4581]

Another good video and what a day of fishing!!!

[@Bnicebassfish]

This vid made my week. And hey I caught my pb on my the Zaldain top hook. Crazy week so far.

[@Zaldaingerous]

Niiiiiiceee 👊🏽

[@JAMESJONES-gn8wq]

I watch a lot of practice you tube videos. You seem to stick way more fish in practice than most. Something to consider. I know it’s Lake Fork but you caught like 5 - 8 lbers on day 3 of practice.

[@Zaldaingerous]

My thoughts were more fish would be moving up as the week went on. More of a pattern than targeting single fish

[@chrissparks6380]

​@Zaldaingerous hit um and enjoy it man. Love when people say they are on a big bag because they had the bites and come in saying it's all smalls now. If catching 5 in practice kills your derb then there wasn't enough there anyway

[@MusicCityAngler]

Heck yeah you know its a good day when Chris uploads.

[@Zaldaingerous]

🙏

[@charliegimmler1014]

Man I was so pumped when you caught that 8 first thing during the tourney

[@Zaldaingerous]

Me too 🫠

[@unkierich]

Chris, I hope to see you at Lake Ray Roberts next year and watch you collect that 300k first place check.

[@johnm2617]

😮 The old lady is as friendly as a cobra < God bless ya fella < Your a great man < O and you can catch em 😮😮Peace 😅😅😅

[@Zaldaingerous]

I drove our RV in a ditch and it didn’t make the edit. She was not thrilled 😂

[@CritterTheBassGetter]

Hell yea brother!! Cathchin some tanks!!

[@edlowe4910]

just curious where you got the remove before flight tag on the key? I have mine on the motor toter

[@thetravelingmongo]

That “prototype” looks like the Geecrack Bellows shad… Not again man🤣jkjk And I see you’re still killing it with the Megabass oneten 8:30

[@Zaldaingerous]

The President of Megabass asked me to dinner a few days ago. It ain’t that deep bruh 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@academicmailbox7798]

Speaking of building igloo's type of weather, I was cracking ice in buckets this morning in western Europe, and it's almost April. I'm playing around with a larger timber prototype (Cod guys here in winter use em). We'll see.

[@Zaldaingerous]

Cracking ice buckets 🥶

[@academicmailbox7798]

Did you see Ivan Nastic and the 200 kilogram Tuna? Makes Zaldaingerous look tame, I harvested a supply of wood this winter and am going to develop a Cod, Tuna bait. However, judging by Ivan's attempt with his tackle, he's sorely out-matched.

[@joelhutchinson4281]

Great Show 👍🏻

[@randysiler7458]

Kudos to your family. That was cool video!

[@Zaldaingerous]

We are a bit of a hot mess on the road

[@datsjusticersrl4208]

This was insane‼️🎣🔥

[@Zaldaingerous]

The North wind had them chewing

[@danielkinn782]

Cmon chris....you need to talk about old school days about float tubing and kickboating. It will show where you came from.and inspire new and young guys a new way to fish if you cant afford a nice boat! Would you take Lake Fork over Clear Lake?

[@Zaldaingerous]

Talk about float tubes during practice at Lake Fork?

[@scottehrlich6653]

Tether ball. Love your dogs

[@johnhelems721]

Does your nitro ride as good as your skeeter did.

[@NatureProsOutdoors]

Don’t let the wife tell ya any different brother 😂 “fuck that ditch, that’s what a 4x4 dully is built for” 👏🏼 keep up the good work man 💯

[@Zaldaingerous]

Hahahah the hour leading up to what you guys saw was pretty bad. Had to detach the RAM from the 5th wheel. I can laugh about it now 😅

[@Ryan_Baldwin]

What wind guard do you use for your osmo action 4? Need to get one for mine!

[@nikolamilosev7839]

Lets get the MB stuff back in your hands so the Force balance shall be finally restored! Really hoping they can take care of you and you get back home!!!

[@Zaldaingerous]

I’m happy where I’m at and left for legitimate reasons. I am flattered by their offer to send me rods, Trait’s remained friends with their main guy for years, but I’ve had a lot of companies offer to send rods. Maybe we build rods at Bass Mafia?

[@NamathCB]

Wow wouldn't want your fuel bill. Great caravan man

[@shipwrek4388]

What are those gloves you have on?

[@christianmicheau5004]

I vote James Watson for the Bilge!

[@MengLor-sh4rt]

Action on the jerk rod? I need to know!

[@Zaldaingerous]

I prefer a 6’8” medium

Bassmaster screwed me. I asked for Charles to be in the boat and they said no 🤷🏽‍♂️

Seeing that progressive hat makes me sad I just got a letter in the mail saying I’ve been dropped I guess it’s because I claimed my lower unit last fall 😭😭

Sickkk

And then the tourney started and they all swam away. Day late, dollar short.

[@Zaldaingerous]

Still made the cut and a check

@@Zaldaingerous I was rooting for you. Trying to see you get a blue trophy and clinch that classic on Roberts.

When can we expect the show about Bryan New’s DQ. Want to have Feider tell him he should be suspended for a year.

Did you lose a sponsor bc you “bad mouthed” ffs?? If so that’s crazy! That’s them trying to control the narrative

[@Zaldaingerous]

The fish can handle it.

[@CrankCaveBaits]

@Zaldaingerous I’ve had these same people beat me down on social media before too for taking photos in a parking lot during weigh-ins. These fish swim off perfectly. Keep up the great work pal. Look me up if you’re ever through Southern Indiana.
