Frog Fishing the Best Swamp Lake in America (Caddo)

[@FISHERYIN]

Well said about the whole “getting too technical thing”. Back when I was interviewing anglers at the Classic last year, you were by far one of the most caring as you took your time to actually have a conversation. Keep this YT journey up brother!!

[@269Angler]

Love you and the channel Yin🖤🦾 keep growing and spreading the word brother!! Been subbed since you had 12k keep being great!

[@Caddolakefellowship]

This is “ the Skeeter Guy” , glad you took shelter at the camp and did not get caught in the storm. I also guide out here so really glad to see you out here having fun on Caddo Lake. We love it out here God bless sir

[@bradleyhavard8955]

LETS GO ..... Zaldaingerous seriously, yall were there to where I live... I had another heart surgery about that time and almost done recovering. But we could have gone or at least met yall. But health first sir. Keep it simple while fishing.

[@rwc408]

TFIT baby! Could listen to Bobby tell stories all day long. Delta legend

[@baylorlandry7650]

Best fishing videos on YT!

[@sdurst411]

Nice work, Chris. For what its worth, I most enjoyed your enthusiasm and obvious love for fishing.

[@augiefishes]

3:08 that dudes bowl cut is wild

[@BassHead1322]

Love it!! Bobby is a kick, his energy is infectious. I’m sure a day on the water with him is something you will never forget. Great one.

[@kingcolejc]

The FrogFather Bobby is a true legend! So thankful I had the opportunity to get out with him several times before he left for Texas. I have Bobbyisims etched in my brain. “Wounded.. Wounded… wounded… Cool you can cast far Breaks breaks Reel reel reel That’s the program we’re running today. Awesome video!

[@jonboatjake]

love listening to/watching your videos when i’m getting tackle ready for tomorrow, right on time 😎

[@Zaldaingerous]

Good luck tomorrow, Jake!

[@nickher83853]

I love Bobby.. I learned tempo.. casting (the figure 8).. the guy is a legend.. he should have been your title.. you would have had a million views.. AWESOME video

[@Zaldaingerous]

We actually did a whole film together 😉 it’ll be dropping in august

[@bonesdc1]

That lake will humble you. Great video. I wish more would film on Caddo.

[@Zaldaingerous]

We’ve got a full film on it that will be dropping in a couple of months

[@theoriginaltech019]

Proud of you man! ALWAYS the right thing to work on our weaknesses. Thank you for taking us along. Good luck at these next events!

[@Zaldaingerous]

Thanks bro!!!!

[@rippin_lipps_doe.8006]

That outro beat is so humbling, another dope video bro.

[@kurtrindgen4708]

Great looking Aussie.

[@randymcgee9176]

It’s good to see Bobby on the water again I miss seeing him on the Delta. I’ve been painting frogs for Christian Olstrander here in California he’s sacking them on them.great video

[@Zaldaingerous]

We are going to sit down and knock out a podcast with Bobby in two weeks on our way up to Detroit

[@justinminor1059]

Awesome video!!! That last lake though I grew up there and use to work at the shutdown steel mill. It has some bigs in it they’re just few and far between

[@fullsendfishing2363]

I dig your videos consistently more than anyone else’s. Packed with useful info, non-apologetic, excellent production, a lot of “off the water, this is my jam” stuff, I just dig it all. I also like that you are constantly pushing to learn more, be better. No complacency. Anyway, just wanted to shout out some appreciation for your vids and channel. I’m off to get my tackle sorted for a little trip to Ivie….. hoping to catch a giant ! AC

[@jase_baits1702]

Love this whole video. Great guest as well. Keep it up

[@My_Fishingjournal]

This is probably the best video ever. When Bobby walked down that ramp chills bro. Just seeing two of my NorCal cali boys hanging out was heartfelt. 🤙

[@Zaldaingerous]

He’s my absolute HERO.

[@My_Fishingjournal]

Same here. He taught me alot fishing the Dirty D when I was a kid. I'd be on his guide trips at 12yrs old. There's no one more humble and full of knowledge like him🤙

[@tunadood]

Love it - that was fun! And good to see Bobby - haven’t seen him since I moved from the Delta. Keep ‘em coming Chris!

[@jamesmims5850]

Stayed at the same place. Launched at the same ramp and fished the same places as you last June. Was a great time glad you made this video. Was fun to watch.

[@richardbumpuscjf347]

If you ever get a chance again have Bobby do his Gary Dobyns interpretation. Totally hilarious!

[@Zaldaingerous]

Oh it’s coming!!! We did a long form vid with him. Amazing story teller

[@mikegardiner3934]

love your channel, Chris !

[@Zaldaingerous]

Thanks for the support Mike 🙏

[@F.Ronnie]

Great video. Thanks Chris.

[@Zaldaingerous]

No prob 👊🏽 thanks for watching the vid

[@grayainsworth1839]

I absolutley love your approach to improving your swamp-savvy.

[@MikeSchmidt-qr1gb]

Got to love frog fishing!!!! Good stuff dude!

[@jodyrhea]

love the dog art on your car window!! mine looks the same usually...

[@jimb7304]

I have a Bassmaster kayak tourney on Caddo this weekend so doing some researching - I've got that same cabin reserved! 😂

[@joshwagner8468]

Lets freaking go 👊 love your channel Chris.

[@Zaldaingerous]

Always appreciate the support Josh 👊🏽

[@shonmckinney8240]

Bobby is the Denny Brauer of the delta! Straight og gangster!

[@chucktaylor4519]

Thanks for showing the humbling portion of this great adventure. I've had the pleasure of fishing with Bobby a couple times. I still rave to those that will listen his ability to get that frog in places few can! Keep your head up and your line wet, if its meant to be you'll shorten the ride on the struggle bus! Good luck!

[@slimsbaitco]

Absolutely love Caddo. One of my favorite places to get lost.

[@orensmith7705]

Happy 4th texas was good for me for fish but still looking for the big bass that you hook in to I'm think texoma next weekend to see how it works out

[@kumaboyy.7443]

Enjoyed another episode! Nice to see two pro's from the bay area just out fishing! .Thank You, Chris!

[@bobbyhogan9207]

Cool bites 😎 Money casts 👊 Probably see more of those in the future 👊😎

[@jeffers0420]

Awesome video! Everybody knows Caddo and I know that second little lake. ALOT of the grass is gone now. Woulda be pretty sweet to run into you out there!

[@rabidbeaver8442]

I thought that storm clip area looked familiar. 😂 when I was kid (which wasn’t that long ago) my dad lived out in the country down some old gravel road in a little farm house. That little farm house used to be located right where that stadium is lol

[@Zaldaingerous]

Small world!!!!

[@byronhendrixfishing8393]

I like these videos but what are the long form video’s coming out?

[@Zaldaingerous]

Once a month. Usually the first Tuesday of every month, but this month’s one won’t be tomorrow, it’ll be in a couple of days. Aligning it with the drop of my spoon 😜

[@PatrickC63]

Great stuff once again, thank you 🙏🏻. I was hoping to see a response regarding the knot you used. I need to see a close up of it.

[@Zaldaingerous]

I’ll do a knot video on it for my next how to. I’m in Europe rn for a derb then Florida for icast. Will try to do one the week between Florida and heading to Detroit

[@PatrickC63]

@@Zaldaingerous I appreciate the reply, but you have always been consistent with that. I’ll look forward for the video and I hope to make it to St Clair for the final day weigh in! You’re due to have a great tournament!

[@robbiebrown4653]

​@brianlilly5022 i think its a trilene knot

[@1302inc]

The knot that never breaks 😂

[@Zaldaingerous]

😆

[@marnuserasmus486]

I learned so much in this vid! Thank you so much!

[@motorcycleislife8296]

Chris, was there any fish out in the middle of the creek? I have a hard time believing they are only shallow. All the lakes here in texas the bass are deep. Wish i could show you offshore bass fishing and how i catch 20-30 a day

[@Zaldaingerous]

The hard part was we were trying to make a frog only film - for our film series

[@motorcycleislife8296]

@@Zaldaingerous Even in the shade bass would still be hot in the summer. Probably very few shallow. I wondered the same thing on the sabine was any of the pros fishing offshore? If you come to east texas, its like the whole lake the bass go deep and chase shad schooling. We just had a shad spawn and the shad are everywhere deep

[@Three-13]

I love all the Zaldain videos. Keep it up dude! Happy Independance weekend

[@Skintbackfishing]

Caddo is one of those you need to book an extra day just to drive around and look at stuff. It’s massive but oh so beautiful.

[@Zaldaingerous]

It is beautiful!!!

[@michaelneu1805]

As a redfish tournament angler myself I feel this, always gotta work and adapt on your game. 🤘

[@dipster14]

Love this video bro. I personally always favor the longer videos. And those gem that coach dropped were solid. I've noticed that about the shadows when bass fishing.

[@TheAverageAngler]

Bobby, man do we miss that guy out here. Good stuff.

[@MB-fk5ip]

I have always called that the Trilene knot and I use it for everything

[@Zaldaingerous]

Yup it’s a Trilene

[@davidkwiatkowski4762]

Love the content, question...do you trim the legs on your frogs at all or have recommendations?

[@charlessaucier3108]

Badass video! Down here, if it looks good just fish it. It’s more of finding which areas have life as opposed to running a pattern. Most times, if you can find just a couple of good areas you’re getting bit in, just stick with it because they’re usually reloading daily. 😎 -Charlie from Puglias, New Orleans

[@ehjfishing4245]

good ole caddo lake. grew up on this pond giant fish in it!

[@antongoatlord6860]

I learned to frog 🐸 fish from Bobby Barrack in the early 90’s. Luv U Booby enjoy life in Tejas baby

[@rogerwilliams977]

Cypress lakes and swamps are the best!

[@rigorocks23]

I have trouble on cypress lakes when it cools off.any tips?

[@rogerwilliams977]

@rigorocks23 look for deep holes, old channels or creek mouths. If u study Google look for small hidden ponds, that's my money hole in the winter Good Luck!

[@Mr.Higgs.]

Even with a double palomar knot you are suppose to pull the mainline tight only, it will pull the tag end down to almost nothing. Considering most frogs are only 3 1/2"-4 1/2" you aren't losing much on a spool that holds over 90+ yards of braid.

[@jjfig86]

Hope coach gets his own channel! Would love to learn from him aswell! Thank you keep up the great work!

[@BaldisBasic123]

Chris zaldain is that the brand new trolling motor from minn kota

[@solaricons]

Awesome video man!

[@jtrealfunny]

I'm at 14:30 and enjoying hearing about the mental/tactical side of bass fishing. It's so foreign to me fishing that way but it's a real thing and I would guess there is always opportunity for someone to fish 'outside the box' and do better.

[@Zaldaingerous]

Thanks bro. The struggle in your head can be real

[@roberthern1111]

Love to see the effort to improve!! It’s gonna happen Z!!

[@kensimpson8581]

Can't go wrong with a good ole Palomar knot

[@Zaldaingerous]

You waste braid tying a frog or topwater with that one vs this one

[@cjr4497]

Pro tip - Chunk a moving bait till you get a bite. Then circle back and hit those stretches with a soft plastic. Easy peasy. Most cypress trees are worthless. Mark the ones you get bit at on gps. They are the only ones worth hitting again. A pattern will also emerge with them.

[@ericwakeman6665]

Good stuff man

[@lanekennedyfishing2050]

I’m from east Texas. Been fishing Caddo and Lake o the Pines my whole life! Just about anywhere around here, if you don’t have 20 pounds on tournament day you might as well just throw em back!

[@taylorjohnson9035]

"Im gonna show you a great frog knot" 😂

[@bamadondon0495]

Do you have any tips on switching to left-handed reels?.. I'm right-handed and I work the rod with my left hand and reel with my right hand.. always cast with my right arm.. and then have to switch the rod over into my left hand.. I've been thinking of buying a few left-handed reels to try to force myself to fish right handed and reel left-handed!! You got any advice? Because in theory and in your head it sounds so much more logical to use your stronger hand and you're stronger arm to fight the fish and to set the hook.. but I started throwing a baitcaster when I was like 9 or 10 years old and I never transitioned into reeling with my left hand except for spinning setup's!! Which I have no issues doing which is weird..

[@Zaldaingerous]

My only tip is just to buy them and force yourself to learn. It’ll feel weird at first but you’ll eventually get used to it. My wife uses right handed reels but casts with her left hand and keeps the rod in her left

Chris what is that Gopro mount you are wearing? I like to see if I would like that more then a chest mount. Thanks. Great video. I as well need to work on my frog game.

[@kellymoore4517]

You tied the Trilene knot.

[@ChrisB-bg3jp]

Yep! I’ve been using that knot for close to forty years. I use it for almost everything. It’s never failed me. Not once.

[@randycope5826]

The knot at 10:00 is a Trilene knot if I'm not mistaken.

[@brandonmerideth5450]

Feeding the spider the chartreuse caterpillar wacky rigged 😂 and as far as being so technical it’s something I struggle with also lol I fish from a kayak and sometimes I just turn off my electronics and just look at the bank contours lay downs transitions and keep my eyes off the screen

Chris, what weather app are you using?

[@justonemorecast]

That's the old "TRILENE KNOT". I thought that braid would cut itself with that knot. I use that knot all of the time, but not with braid.

[@corymiller5353]

Looks exactly like a trieline knot.... My personal favorite... But i could be wrong

[@Zaldaingerous]

Yup - it’s a trilene

[@stevenjohnson6998]

Thanks Chris, for dumbing down the art of bass fishing. There are so many baits, so many fishing lines, what your supposed and what your not supposed to use. Sometimes it can be overwhelming and confusing. I was wondering if you would ever do a video fishing for big cats? Love the videos keep it up.

[@rabidbeaver8442]

The video starts with a storm where I grew up. Then you end it at the lake by house now😂 you were fishing on the wrong side of the lake. You gotta get back there on them pads by the dam
