[@Zaldaingerous]

Thanks brother 👊🏽

[@instaphippsyfishing]

I need more froggin’ content!!! This is my favourite tournament video so far. Such precision through those thick weeds.

[@cross_fire_]

Chris you’ve become one of my favorite guys on the elites. Just keep doing what you’re doing. I appreciate your work as well as the work from Trait! By the way, your casting is a thing of beauty, like watching a master marksman.

[@Zaldaingerous]

Appreciate the support brother 👊🏽 I always looked up to Bobby Barrack’s casting skills and tried to mimic that level of preciseness

[@BassFishingHQ]

That was great to watch!

[@Zaldaingerous]

Appreciate it brother 👊🏽

[@1212onfire4jc]

Love the Buildge, but at the end of the day just like to see you smashum! Live in the moment and know you’re blessed!

[@msg2myson1]

It's great to see some old school fishing that pays off. That was super cool of the campground to feed you all and that BBQ looked tasty.

[@Leelandz]

Man your content, storytelling and format are just absolutely great to watch! Big props to your editing camera guy!

[@anthonybenoit222]

One of favorite guys fishing and 2 of the best ways to fish

[@Zaldaingerous]

Feels like the opportunities to flip and frog to a decent finish are getting smaller and smaller schedule wise

[@hollowayoutdoors8713]

You are by far my favorite pro to follow! Love how you explain what you're doing all the hard work you and Trait put in! Hoping you get a win this year, you deserve it man!!!

[@Zaldaingerous]

I appreciate that!

[@hollowayoutdoors8713]

@@Zaldaingerous keep up the hard work man! Gunna be taking some of what you did in this video to try on my lakes around my house! Moved to Florida from Colorado last year and been quite a learning curve to figure out how to fish pads and grass down here compared to back in Colorado where we didn't have pads and only cattails for emerging vegetation lol

[@FishingwithMorelli]

He’s one of the worst pro anglers around. Terrible attitude and treats the rookies like garbage. Do some homework.

Looks just like my home turf at the CA Delta. I know Chris knows his way around a tidal fishary. Nice job brother!!

[@jimcantu5238]

Chris that was great fun to watch buddy, love what you were doing, old school power fishing. I can watch that action all night long. Good luck man. I'm a California gut who loves frogging and pitching. Scoping sucks! Follow Bilge Pod, Great content. Jim Cantu.

[@386bassintv2]

I like how instead of telling us what your doing , you explain what your doing , that’s key ..

[@jacobjohnson-hr2ip]

Neat to see you using a Bates reel. Really excited about the tranectory of that company. Big step in the right direction for another great TX based fishing company and glad to see you aiding them in their success. Best of luck this season!

[@arocosadventures724]

First season following you in the series. I’m already hooked love your positive attitude and your love for the sport and fishing. Angler in its purest form 🇸🇪🎣🤘

[@BigMoose2b1ask1]

Chris when you unzipped looking for hooks for a second I thought you were going to pull out a mixed CD out of that case

[@Zaldaingerous]

L O L

[@cross_fire_]

I chuckled, we all have to admit our generation was the best! Nothing better than partying in our younger days with a loud sound system and a case full of cds.

[@mikeschwallenberg3456]

Hey Chris....I heard you say you were dehydrated, so here's a tip from a health nut lol.....when you are drinking that bottled water, it's purified which means all necessary minerals have been taken out (potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium)....those minerals are what gets water into your bodies cells and "hydrates" you and makes your bodies organs work like they should. So an easy way to combat that while you're out on the water is to put a good quality mineralized sea salt (Redmonds Real Salt is a great brand) into your bottled water all day long OR better yet, instead of drinking that cheap bottled stuff, get the glass bottled "Mountain Valley Spring Water" and drink that throughout the day as it's not been stripped of minerals and just add a bit of salt to that. I live down here in Florida now and I'm always able to outlast my buddies out on the water because they are dehydrated & I'm not.💪👍

[@gumslinger11]

Great stuff chris! 4oz deduction isnt too bad. My club does half a pound and u cant cull, so killin a 1 pounder in the morning is a real bummer.

[@Zaldaingerous]

Yup, you can’t cull in ours either because it’s against State regulations.

[@bryanfranks6327]

Great video, looked like fun! Chris how do you determine what color frog you are going to throw?

[@nancyzipperer8819]

Fishing, Florida, top water bass, paradise?

Pretty much!

Did this yesterday!!! Fished Roland Martins tournament out of clewiston. We were 2 3/4 lb of getting a check! 😢frogged and flipped literally 95% of time.

The crazy thing about this tournament is your quality of fish was so much bigger than everyone else. Watching this one on live was painful unless you were watching Cory, lots of very small fish.

[@Zaldaingerous]

I definitely did not get the bed fishing springs memo 😂 but I still had a blast!

[@Mjones8383]

Is that the Bates reels?, been looking at them if it is, just never heard anything about them or do I know anyone personally that has 1. Are they good if it is?
