Lost my $700 Swimbait

[@robbogin482]

This was like watching Bevis and Butthead meet fishing. 😂😂😂 That whole segment of you on the life jackets was hilarious 👊👊🤙🤙

[@KissmyBasss]

We were all pulling for a glidebait reunion, but still a great video. You're a genuine dude, I appreciate that!

[@Zaldaingerous]

Thanks Willy 👊🏽

[@dontnonowuno9953]

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

[@Zaldaingerous]

Lol probably!!

[@chrisbusby9206]

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.

[@Zaldaingerous]

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.

[@kevinwebster688]

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!!

[@woefman9467]

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

[@thehedgeknightnc3681]

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.

[@Zaldaingerous]

LOL I guess snorkeling lake fork never popped into my head

[@brianpierson7708]

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

[@mattwiederholt7258]

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?

[@Zaldaingerous]

Johnny was fun fishing a topwater around me while I was looking for the swimbait

[@MBR843]

Silly question but what swimbait is that?

[@maxcole3930]

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 ..

[@rossespinoza768]

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!

[@kylecampbell3]

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.

[@Aynalwartz]

🔥🔥🔥

[@Glock-1]

What swimbait did you lose?

[@ggw7948]

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!!

@@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.
