TEXAS SHARELUNKERS: A Fishing Film

[@keenanmoore264]

Love it when Chris starts getting his giddy laugh. Pure joy

[@Zaldaingerous]

😁🤭🤗

[@paulbourcq]

Awesome film. Makes me wonder what lake is simmering and about to blow up. Shout out for the drone eat at 15:35! Those don’t come easy.

[@Zaldaingerous]

Johnny’s got that dog in him. He sat filming a 15lber on a bed for two days. We did not succeed with that one….

[@jeswright35]

I love this man.. Seriously I could watch him fish forever.. He gives it to you in the manner you can understand.. He tells you like it is. A class act!!

[@Melanzyk]

I'm not a Bass fishermen, there is no Bass in Ireland but I love watching your videos. Discovered your channel 3 days ago and spend hours watching you. Great work! An awesome video.

[@seanhaugen2492]

Such a Great program you have in TX. Keep bringing the great content.

[@MarkD02]

Really liked the movie format! Looking forward to future productions!

[@Glock-1]

I'm from Ohio and I would love to hug that share lunker lady, because I plan on fishing in Texas one day!

[@elijahxiong7991]

This banger of a video is what we want as an audience. Keep accelerating your content and fish on.

[@501fishing]

I see some other states following suite and it’s a beautiful sight to see. Bussey brake in northern Louisiana and my new favorite lake and they drained it and had it shut down for over 10 years. They turned it into a trophy bass lake and since it’s opened up it has been spitting out. We went and fished it for 3 days and caught three 10+ pounders. I know a 15 got caught and in the week I was there 28 bass over 10 pounds had been caught. It’s incredible to see. If you put the effort you get the reward!

[@Zaldaingerous]

That’s awesome to hear.

[@chaseshiver6956]

keep killing it man this video is sick. More of these please! seen where you posted you were in a slump in the elites this year but then you put content out like this for us to enjoy! Bad ass man!

[@Zaldaingerous]

Appreciate it, Chase! Making content like this during my off time helps me process the slumps better - keeps my mind right

[@ron2893]

I'm glad I could watch this , thanks for sharing

[@atamagashock]

I love these movies… so dope!

[@yakin_fishin_livin3598]

Just watched this on my TV with my daughter and well worth it brother. She wants to find a big bass now. Keep up the hard work! Your content is superior!

[@Zaldaingerous]

Glad you two enjoyed it!!

[@rickysilva8897]

I’m not gonna lie the production on this video is next level! Gotta appreciate the effort put in man Cali 2 texas

[@haydenfaviere4030]

Man, Zaldain, I live up in Canada and can only watch and drool when I see bass like these....

[@vuexiong6087]

15:56 on that hookset, I knew it was a double. Nice buddy! Now come back to the delta and catch these teeners over here lol

[@dontnonowuno9953]

Dang your videos and commitment to making them have gone thru the roof.Only a matter of time before your channel really explodes🙏

[@Zaldaingerous]

[@grayainsworth1839]

Well done and so much fun. Thank you and welcome to Texas.

[@bobbyhogan9207]

Y’all made a nice, informative video. I liked the making of the video, video too 👊 My PB is a 9.25 but I keep chunkin and windin hoping for that teener. Unfortunately I do not get to travel to those big fish lakes. Maybe someday…I have begun my glide bait journey and perhaps that will help 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@donalddavis5598]

What an amazing video Chris! Loved it so much I watched it twice! Maybe one day I’ll make it back to Texas.

[@bryand956]

Props to the filming and editing on this. Really good to watch.

[@jddarby007]

You DEFINITELY should have more subscribers for your content. Top notch.

[@Zaldaingerous]

This is the first year for us to be consistent with vids weekly so maybe the channel will start to gain some traction

[@natepatton1305]

That's pretty cool to see the lineage that the Sharelunker program can track from each fish.

[@ClearLakeFishingTV]

Great video! Very well done. Thank you for investing your time and energy into making this for us. You hit some things right on the head at the beginning regarding Texas managing their fisheries and California letting theirs do what they do. I will take it even further and say that Clear Lake is being irresponsibly managed in that there are way too many tournaments. Almost every weekend and some weekdays as well. Its just too much pressure. Anyhow, thanks again and keep up the good work!

[@Zaldaingerous]

We are heading back west this fall to film and hopefully shine a light on what’s going on out there good and bad

[@ClearLakeFishingTV]

@@Zaldaingerous hopefully the right people listen and start taking the future of the fishery seriously. Thanks again! Tight lines 🎣

[@HydroHowTo]

Television can't compete with the quality you're putting out! Sick video and I really enjoyed the segment that talked about the Texas Sharelunker program. Literally have goosebumps rn.

[@davidblake5199]

Chris Z this was your best video you’ve ever made… I have to watch it again lol😎🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

[@cgriff840]

I think everyone here already spoke for me.. killer video dude. I dig this content . Keep ‘em coming. I’ve been eyeballing Texas for a move. There’s nothing not to like in that state , especially the folks. I live 2 minutes from Casitas and fish it at least 3 times a week. Talk about tough fishing and a big loss of what it use to be. But the lake had been on a serious drought for years and just filled up to 74%. It’s a complete new lake. So I’m curious what will happen. California needs fishery management and new politicians 😂

[@davidblake5199]

Z. Great video One of your best 🐟🐟🐟

[@vincentgelles3805]

Such an amazing video! You guys put together a fantastic piece of entertainment with this one! I’m fascinated by O.H. Ivie and the share lunker program. Even though I’ll probably never get to fish there I’m just obsessed with giant bass. Great job guys!!

[@kyleheinz6785]

I’ve only caught one at 10.03 when I was 14 yrs old. 25 yrs later, still chasing to beat it!

[@flippingwith65poundbraidpu86]

[@Zaldaingerous]

Glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks for tuning in 👊🏽

[@jtrealfunny]

*Excellent* This thing is packed with good, interesting, information. There's a great comparison between Texas and California fisheries AND fishery management. It's also a window into some of the genetic stuff that is going on as we speak so to say. Trying to develop bigger more sporty bass. I don't really know any counter arguments to this endeavor but I have a general opinion that humans always harm the natural world when they try and do clever things, like build dams or farm salmon. But it's not like bass are some endemic natural thing either, so I'm not tripping. Really great episode.

[@DannyBFishing]

Perfect timing for this! Moving back home to Texas this weekend!

[@Zaldaingerous]

Safe travels moving back!!

[@DannyBFishing]

@Zaldaingerous thanks man! Good luck the rest of the year!

[@ricksandoval7653]

I live in DEL RIO TX. throwing giant swimbaits in search of that illusive giant. Keep fishing

[@skippeel4219]

David Campbell, the Texas Parks and Wildlife fisheries biologist and original manger of the Share A Lunker Program told me that genetics was the key and that habitat was secondary. With limited Florida bass for stocking, the early program focused on habitat but it soon became obvious that if you prioritize genetics big bass could be grown almost anywhere. David was a great ambassador for the program and for recreational fishing. RIP.

[@rastasquidd]

Type 2 is the only fun I like to have!

[@Zaldaingerous]

Same 👊🏽

[@jimmyrogers1490]

Do you guys think that it is a certain lake's fish population (like Fork or Ivie) that is resulting in these huge bass or is it the fact that these giants are hitting these huge swim baits that have pretty much just become popular for finding them ? Could you take that same 8" or 10" lure and catch giants like that at Ray Roberts or Choke Canyon because they will only chase that size bait ? Just curious whether it's the fish population or the lures being used to catch them now.

[@primaljpc254]

[@poe4130]

Every single lake that has bass tournaments on it should be stocking share lunker genetics. It’s a no brainer.

[@benconolly4163]

What is the brand and model of those glasses??

[@Zaldaingerous]

They are called the “zaldain is not a pro fisherman anymore KZbin wannabe” frame in the Verbatim line Did I get that, right? 😉

[@Fishingwithfaithoutdoors23]

The world record bass is in Ga. Huge bass are being caught in Ga that no body is recording. Monsters son! Ga can give Texas a run for its money, you just got to know where to fish in ga. And I know just the spots.😎

[@roberthern1111]

Let’s goooooo!!

[@Zaldaingerous]

🙌🏽

[@joeys7519]

Can you imagine the bass that would result from managed Lunker programs in CA with trout stocking 😮

[@ronaldbryant8457]

I bet Choke Canyon has a state record in it too...lots of big fish never documented. Conroe as well.

[@Zaldaingerous]

I bet there’s several Texas lakes with the state record swimming around tbh

[@jacobzachary5631]

Maybe choke… there are a few others I would put ahead of it… lake austin for one

[@funkymojo111]

Glad Chris pointed out how California fisheries are mismanaged.

[@fujiyaj]

Here in Cali all the fees collected from most lakes goes into the states pocket. They’re doing nothing about taking care of California lakes and fisheries.

[@funkymojo111]

Here in San Diego our dwindling funding source for the city results in their managing of the lakes less and less; losing staff and can only clean the bathrooms and empty the trashcans with the resources they have. We have like 3 City enforcement rangers and 3 game wardens for our zone 7(?).

I can't imagine how good our fishing would be here in Alabama if the state gave a damn about out lakes

[@Lowdowndirtybassin1978]

It happen to falcon the water levels dropped and it was over fished. I’ll give maybe 5-10 years before it becomes Falcon. It will become even harder to catch them from all the pressure.

[@Zaldaingerous]

Heard it’s fishing pretty bad right now, that true?

[@Lowdowndirtybassin1978]

@@Zaldaingerous Lakes levels are at an all time low, and the fishing is not what it used to be . I don’t think they ever will.

[@TropicalGardeningCyprus]

Does anyone know what percentage of Florida bass genetics exists in these fish? Last time I was interested in this stuff it was around 2008, so I've lost contact. I remember something about hybrids going sterile after F7 stage? So, these are what exactly? Pure largemouth with no Florida bass in them? Is this even possible?

[@nachopretzel3533]

Virginia needs a share a lunker smallmouth

[@nextlevelfishingentertainm3423]

IMO California in the 90s is a result of stocking Florida strain in the late 70s and 80's. It was the first time they were introduced and after some generations caused a massive influx of genetically superior fish. That genetic diversity has now been diluted and today there simply are not near as many fish with genetic potential. It was a phenomenon "similar" to what is known as the new lake effect.

[@garysims4491]
