Thanks for the video Chris, where I live there is not much grass. However, there is some and this video helps me to get the right gear for punching 👊😎

[@rickwalter9509]

Thanks lots of great information,good luck at the classic!

[@corymeyer1162]

Thanks, Chris.

[@smittyboi1755]

Mr.Z spits a lot of serious game in this video. He is super knowledgeable in this video. Somethings that you talk about, I wouldn't even think of thinking about. That's why you're the pro, and I'm not. Lol. I love your KZbin channel, bro. And also love watching your glidebait videos. I'm going to start trying more of the glide bait fishing this year. Great video

[@nwtreasure5983]

Great, now I have to wear a helmet while punching 40ft in the air. Good stuff, sir. Thanks!

[@Reel_SD_Outdoors]

Loved this video very informative man this is why your my favorite angler you always crush it man keep it up can’t wait for the next king video next Tuesday!

[@Zaldaingerous]

Gonna be a very veggie filled video Tuesday

[@Reel_SD_Outdoors]

@@Zaldaingerous super jacked man! Watched this video and it definitely showed me some stuff! Thank you Chris!

[@Ardeact]

i'm definitely going to try blacking out my braided line

[@lesserkey]

Man the camera ya'll use in some of this footage is baller af! Especially the shots of you flipping and the water splashing.. wild. Great advice, I don't punch often... just never was something I did. I''ll have to check it out. Great vid Zaldain. I hope to see you in the top 10 in the classic. I'll be watching live. Safe travels brother.

[@Zaldaingerous]

I hope to be there. Last time the Classic was there I had a shot at 😉 things just went sideways the final day. I like the place 😁

[@FullTimeFishing]

Love a good punching bite! Good luck at the next event!

[@Zaldaingerous]

Thanks!!! And yes it’s one of the funnest bites to be on!

[@codyjohnson-pu3kw]

Great meeting you at bass pro yesterday! My kids are STILL talking about how nice you were to them and how they can’t wait to try the new swim baits!!

[@Zaldaingerous]

Appreciate y’all playing along, Cody! The video from that day just went live

[@randywunderlich6315]

Great stuff, punching is certainly productive here on Toledo Bend!!!

[@Zaldaingerous]

I hear fishing is getting better on TB? Is the grass back?

[@randywunderlich6315]

@@Zaldaingerous yes sir… lots of grass down south mostly on the Texas side!!!

[@JoseMartinez-dq4km]

Good tips good video

[@Zaldaingerous]

🙏👊🏽

[@squatchfishin9461]

Never thought about coloring the line 🤔 - definitely gonna give that a go.

[@Zaldaingerous]

Yessir 👊🏽

[@wesleysmith6018]

Amazing vid bro. Get out there and win a tournament!

[@Mjones8383]

Definitely need to get into punching, I live 1 hour from Guntersville and it can be thick mats towards the late summer

[@Zaldaingerous]

It’s a fun bite kinda like frogging and swimbaiting. Quality over quantity

[@jstn05]

its addicting. More fun than a frog for me.

[@magicworldbyjorg]

[@kumaboyy.7443]

Thanks, Chris! Very detailed video, will have to try some your tips on the Delta!

[@emarmy00]

before today I didn't know punching existed...I will be spending some money!!!

[@basschaser9356]

Having the right setup will make punching more fun. Get the lightest rod and reel combo dobyn dx746 curado mgl

[@Zaldaingerous]

Are you trying to push other brands on my page? 😆 broooooo

[@bamadondon0495]

Finally got 6 box's of Bass Mafia swimbait's coming. I'm using the Owner belly weighted 6/0- 8/0... Yay or Nay!? I got some 8/0 in the flashy swimmer and then some 6/0 just weighted... Tell me your input!!? Thanks.. stay safe this year. 🔨🔨💪💪🎣🎣✌️

[@MrPhoenix1800]

Thinking about converting my perfect pitch Levante to a punching/frog rod. What’s your opinion on that?

[@garyschmidt924]

Dude Chris have you ever watched the bass professor?

[@efishnseetv2082]

Im right handed and ive never not had a right hand retrieve ... especially with punching in mind ... should i switch to left hand retrieve or ... ? would like to know your thoughts ... ?

[@emarmy00]

I want to use this in Oklahoma

[@tylerwallace9887]

Great video Chris. One additional question I have for you is what knot do you tie for the oz and half and bigger? There’s a big debate here in Florida between snelling and a traditional palomar. Thanks!

[@Zaldaingerous]

Bro, I’ve always “stuck” with the snell. The only advantage I see with a traditional knot is the slight 1/8-1/4” “setback” behind the wide tungsten weight. Could be beneficial?

[@benconolly4163]

Such a big secret 😂

[@bwspacity]

Da man

[@Zaldaingerous]

👊🏽

[@MikesFishingAdventures]

Now I wanna go to California Delta

[@Zaldaingerous]

Me too me too

[@davelsnell]

Where/what jig skirt?

[@SpookyRedz]

Try freedom tackle weights for punching they work better the line tie is on the side

[@Zaldaingerous]

Never seen one. I’m pretty simple on my weights

[@SpookyRedz]

@@Zaldaingerous it almost acts like a swing head but say u rig a d bomb on it the tip of the d bomb touches the weight when u rig ur soft plastic un like the 2 wires coming out on both sides of the football head like a regular swing head , it rigs like a bullet weight slides down on a tip of a soft plastic

[@joeys7519]

Still hits weird when they announce you as being from Texas on stage

[@jbertran1972]

Nothing better than pulling an 8 lb'er out of some junk! Love punching down here in Florida!

[@Zaldaingerous]

Yessir - got a little bit of it in while down there this last month!

[@TheFishinMortician]

To bad the highest weight the closest bass pro had was 1oz...

[@Mr.Higgs.]

Use any tungsten around enough rocks and docks, all tungsten paint chips away sooner or later. Every brands says theirs doesn't chip.

[@Rusty____Shackleford]

Typical googan. Giving tips on techniques he used to not cash a check in the first two tournaments “2.0”. 👎

[@TheREELBass_Dad]

Maybe a rattle inside the nuke punch so I can stop robbing them from my neds 🪡
