Now this is a fishing video!!! Fantastic work being done!!! Takes alot of work for both of you to put out a video of this caliber. These are stories not just a 10-15 min fish catching video and I would much rather cast this onto my TV and watch it. Keep up the awesome work guys!!!!

[@Zaldaingerous]

Thank you 🙏👊🏽

#1 boat flipper on KZbin 😮

[@PSPSALES]

without a doubt..... THE BEST FISHING VIDEO, I'VE EVER SEEN. .... I watched every second of it, and was in AWE of Johnny's fantastic filming. Even though this was an hour+, it flew by and I stayed up until 1am watching it ! What an absolute eye opening experience to that body of water, as well as quite a bit of the behind the scenes stuff (which we love!)... Congrats to a Fellow TEXAN !!! Can't wait for 2023 videos !! ZALDAINGEROUS 2023 !!!

[@Mjones8383]

Chris your editor is the best in the game, I mean better than television or KZbin. Whatever you pay that person, double it!!!

[@spintowinstradic6067]

I was a spectator boat for all 4 days of that tournament. I’ve fished up there for many years and have a house there. I’ve never seen the weather that perfect 4 days in a row like that. It was amazing.

[@Zaldaingerous]

It will probably never happen again, too!

[@secretbassrigs]

you lucky bass! 😁

[@chriscarroll3635]

That looks amazingly fun yet absolutely stressful at the same time. Great job ripping lips!!!

[@keithpinkerton2933]

OMG cant imagine how fun that really was because it was awesome watching

Awesome footage! I soak all my plastics on BaitFuel. No grease or bad smell. Gets bit big time! Best fish attractant out there! Smallmouth are the absolute best!😁😁

Chris you caught the heck out of them. Bait Fuel is the deal, I use it a lot. Keep bringing the heat!!!!

[@andylewis7982]

Chris, try the double, triple hook set for the great lake small jaws. Was fishing next to an old timer a couple of years ago on Lake Erie was losing every other fish. He was landing every bite. I watched him and noticed that he would set the hook 2-3 times every bite. I strated doing it and have never looked back. Hopefully, it will help you enjoy your videos.

[@daltonlawson7081]

This is what keeps me going! Don't stop. Can't wait to fish tomorrow!

[@kargylefishing]

Had a few airbourne smallies at the US Open. It was great seeing you there! Scent is a huge player when the fish are finicky or pressured. I almost always use some kind of scent when throwing a jig.

[@Zaldaingerous]

Anytime smallmouth or spotted bass are on the menu, scent plays.

I won a Toyota on Erie in 04' and was one of the first to drpshot. I employed both, but gradually moved to more of a PowerShot with the baitcaster for better fish control.... May have been beneficial!

[@fighttheskunk]

That baitfuel stuff looks to be zaldaingerous. Can't wait to see how it worked for you at Lake Mohave.

[@Bassman74]

#ZALDAINGEROUS is at it again with another killer video. Using those Optic Nerve Shades along with the absolute best scent BaitFuel and all that other amazing gear to dominate those smallmouth bass. But wait if you act now we will double that order and all we ask is that you pay a small fee to cover shipping and handling! Honestly I only dream of having a day like this on the water!

Catchin Tubs that are eaten Good! No scent added is Good, Scent Added is GRRRREAT!!

Very cool to see you excelling in the game. Still have the DS rod you sold me at CBnT. Need a replacement for the flipping rod lost at Middle River. Any suggestions? Moved to FL. If you are ever in the Pan Handle look me up. J.Castro is here too. Good luck on the next one!

[@kylewright7882]

Damn that drone footage was beautiful at the intro. I’m not use to seeing water that clear out by me in SoCal. You’d think you were in the Florida Keyes with that clarity.

[@Zaldaingerous]

It’s like flats fishing but freshwater. Bucket list type stuff.

[@PHATBASSASSASSIN]

I will say I am huge believer in this stuff, we were on chicamauga on a Sunday during this past summer and I was doing everything to get a bight I said hang on Jordan I got that bait fuel. Had a 3/4 Berkeley football jig dragging bottom and popping it through grass, couldn’t get a bite. Took bait fuel put it in my zoom ole Montser bag let it sit for a few and litterally next cause caught a 5.5-6 pounder in the same area on live scope they weren’t even giving it a chance before. I will Always have some on me! An I’m not one for gimmicks but I believe I have other instances where it has helped me but this was the biggest. #zaldaingerous #googansquad #chriszaldainisthebesteliteagler #baitfuel
