My Last Bassmaster Tournament Video Ever.

[@jamesrice304]

How does this video only have 496 likes with over 11,000 views?!?!?! Some of the best editing in the KZbin world!!!!! Thank you for what you guys do...always love your video's!!!!!

[@tdrum3374]

No one is more knowledgeable and willing shares that knowledge with everyone more than you! Love you videos, especially St. Lawrence and Champlain ones! Thank you Chris!

[@instaphippsyfishing]

I didn’t think I would enjoy professional tournament fishing content, but this was awesome!!! I went back and watched like 10 more of your tournament videos, the quality is insane. Great job by you and your team.

[@Zaldaingerous]

Thanks man! I'm glad you enjoy the tournament vids 👊🏽

[@richardc8695]

Say it anit so! Man, you have some of the best produced videos out there. Going to miss them for sure! I'm hoping there is another part to this story that will fill this void!

[@Zaldaingerous]

More to come!

[@joshharvey9926]

Going to miss your tournament videos but im sure whatever content you put out next will be awesome and i will be watching.

[@stevencroft4850]

Wow, videos don't come any better than this. I'll still be following you next year regardless of the location.

[@ronaldd932]

Whatever your plans are wish you nothing but the best. A flutter spoon has become one of my favorite ways to fish, so versatile.

[@SuperJohnny365]

You are a great fisherman Chris! The way you can figure out the bite is amazing. And I got to see your dogs!! All the best for the future.

[@patdarling2036]

Your the best dude you and the wife put 120% in all you do i keep following you no matter where you fish your my super hero in bass fishing

[@jg_fishing4897]

:( We will miss you Zaldaingerous your videos will definitely still teach me to fish your techniques

[@rickystapleton8120]

I don't blame you. These promote them as much as they promote you. Focus on only promoting yourself, and all your marketing partners. I think you'll see more pro's going this route. Good luck man!

[@curt3533]

Great video and year Chris. Sure hope this isn't your last VLOG, you have the absolute best and would really miss them if you stop.

[@patdarling2036]

Am missing something here I watch you for years I know with all the changes in bass no entry fees but low pay out don't really make it worth the risk to cover expenses so you stopping to fish bass and fish different clubs

[@jeb4836]

Good luck . Life is long. Make good decisions. Don’t get caught up in the hate cycle that your bilge show seemed to project this last season. You are the brand.. good luck.

[@613BASS_N]

Agreed, the constant drumming up drama really deflated what could have been far more positive.

[@SammysBaits]

Man, I sure hope there is something being held back. I would really hate that this is the last tournament video from you. But, having said that, if you have to end them, there (to me) is no better place to end them. But hopefully there is maybe something better coming. Edit: I wasn't a subscriber because I just float around and watch what I want to watch each day. But the kid at the end did it. He told me to subscribe and I am now subscribed. The kids at the end were the best, and you giving them some time is worth so much. Thank you.

[@Zaldaingerous]

Haha thanks for subscribing! Not as much tournament content in the future but I promise I’ll bust my ass to make sure we are uploading quality fishing vids

[@stevenboyko9176]

These are better than watching live tournaments. Sad it’s over

[@MikeSchmidt-qr1gb]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos dude!!!

[@jeffreymathers1632]

Great video man, thanks for all the time and energy you put into these, very informative 👍

[@haroldrogers6566]

Love watching you boss. And the interviews with you n Trait. Keep ‘em coming boss.

[@geezersbassin2567]

Another great video! Thanks for all of these!

[@jeffreyyoung8605]

Glad to finally see some videos from you again!!

[@Zaldaingerous]

👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

[@jeffreyyoung8605]

@ can’t wait till you get back on “The Bilge Podcast” kicking again

[@joffrechampagne7908]

Hey delta rat - been a min. Seems appropriate today A huge thank you for everything you and Chris have done over these years 🎉 😢

[@RadioactiveFisherman]

Love the content and the mindset. Keep grinding brother!

[@edmracingteam]

Love these tournament videos! Gonna miss the st Lawrence event next year

[@CrankCaveBaits]

We need some bilge in our lives!!!! Awesome season bro!!!

[@Jrthejourneyman]

That intro is amazing. sweet video

[@G8AR]

Great video Chris. I live on the St. Lawrence River so recognize some of the areas you’re fishing from the landmarks. The Great Lakes is an incredible fishery especially for the Smallies. Those waters at the mouth of the St. Lawrence and east end of Lake Ontario can get real gnarly, real quick. I’m surprised you hung in there with 8’ breakers, I would have bailed the second I got to Wolfe Island and Cape Vincent. Good luck in your future endeavours.

[@craigtaylorfishing]

Notice how the boys all let Taku go weigh his fish before them, because he said they were dying. That shows how well he is liked. Great show of sportsmanship!

[@Zaldaingerous]

Taku is a great guy

[@ElitexxChicken]

Love your energy and passion you carry for our sport. You've helped me become a better angler with the swimbait side of things. I live on Tablerock Lake and remember you fishing the Elites on Bull Shoals/ Norfork Lakes. That tournament is the one that I got hooked on with the megabass swimbaits. Now I've got the whole line up of BassMafia Zaldangerous swimbaits. Shallow and deep!! Lol. Thank you bro I wish nothing but the best for you and keep the videos coming!!

[@Zaldaingerous]

That tournament was one of my all time favorites. The first time I showed the world my secret weapon 😁

[@toulonglor6243]

Zaldain on a Megabass Destroyer spinning rod?! Looks like the Addermine. Started using Megabass because of you man! Goodluck next year bud.

[@Zaldaingerous]

Yes, good eye!!! Broke out the golden oldie 🤘🏽

[@501Bassin_SWarb]

Looking forward to what to future holds for ya bud! Atta boy to Jordan for stepping up for Taku to get him weighed up before they died. True commaraderie! That’s like the Kenny Chesney song “Nothin but the good stuff” rt there! 👍🏽👍🏽

[@charlesvaszily-fm2lf]

Great season keep it up. Hopefully next year u get that classic win 🏆 that’s all that matters. You should bunk up with Scott Martin at the classic and kinda work together since you two are buddies and slay the classic good luck and tight lines.

[@christophershelton1735]

Good to see a video from you. Love them.

[@dipster14]

Crazy that this is your last one. I subbed and got back into fishing About 4 years ago because I caught a bluegill on my buddy's ultralight and loved the feeling, I did research and watched plenty of videos but YOUR CHANNEL!....WHEW first time I seen big swimbaits and catches with them WITH amazing video quality that keeps you PINNED! Great to have seen the many videos you've put out, thank you, wish you well with everything brotha! 🙏🏿🤎🎣

[@Zaldaingerous]

The channel isn’t over 👊🏽

[@dipster14]

@Zaldaingerous hell yeah! 👍🏿👊🏿

[@lillieursua4614]

The split part deux, NPFL is the future baby!

[@ranbrown15]

Excellent video and congrats on a great season! hey I do have a question for you regarding your bait fuel. It looked a little bit watered down... Have you added something to your bottle Or has it just gotten more watery over time?

[@Iriesushi]

Thanks gor your vids and good luck in your future endeavors. Time for a new Allison XB21 to fish that leg for a huge advantage. 😊 I run 86mph fully loaded and make 100 mile runs only sipping fuel. 17 gallons for 100 miles at WFO. The rougher the water, the better the Allison performs. You could have fished for 2 extra hours and not had to refuel. Only problem is you can't buy the talent to drive one.

[@lpbass8369]

I like watching you fish bro.Cant wait to see whats next.most people dont get it but balls the size of church bells to go out in 8 fters.

[@Zaldaingerous]

🏄‍♂️ 🌊

[@AustinMeyer-i3e]

The videos are getting better and better congrats! Always pulling for you. When is the next podcast?

[@kyleheinz6785]

Just started watching! LFG!!!! Tight lines bro bro

[@Zaldaingerous]

Appreciate it broseph!

[@arandomperson1019]

Hey man I am so grateful for your videos and am so sad to see your no longer doing them they are the best thing ever and are such great videos

[@Zaldaingerous]

Still doing fishing videos but not necessarily bass tournament vlogs

[@FractalFishingUSA]

Best tournament videos, hands down

[@613BASS_N]

100%

[@mikedolbee2282]

Chris what rod do you use for Spybaiting? I saw that little bait hanging out of that one’s mouth haha.

[@wesleysmith6018]

Not on my watch Chris! Keep them coming man. God Geace to your family.

[@Zaldaingerous]

I appreciate that

[@wesleysmith6018]

@Zaldaingerous I'm watching you like Bad Santa either way. Go do what you love, make some kids with Trait. And Happy Thanksgiving

Hells yea!!! 2nd day was fire bro.!!!

[@Zaldaingerous]

Yes it was!

[@PHATBASSASSASSIN]

Are you fishing the elites next year ?

[@Azamorafishing]

That was cool how everyone let taku weigh in before them.

[@tranzformedyouthtn]

Why does it’s say last bassmaster tournament? For 2024??

[@benthompsonfishing1119]

I have a question brother... do pro anglers donate their gear to veterans? I'm part of wounded warrior project east texas . I know they always do skeet shooting for out door or mtb rides... if we had some good fishing gear we could take them out fishing...

[@NamathCB]

Great job man. Hope this won't be your last tour vid. Love to watch what you do on my lake Champlain each trip

[@BKreisch]

You used a Steez Real Control in the last Video. Is this the MH Model? 🤔

[@northernbassalliance1442]

Whens the next podcast!

[@andyd834]

Are you not with 13 fishing anymore? The rapala buyout seems like it wasn't a good thing for 13.

[@chrischrist7982]

Great video

[@geraldbalser4581]

Tournament videos are the best, practice thru tournament but that is my preference so i can learn by watching doesn't matter what professional angler i watch but your content is up there with martin, wheeler and livesay.... hell you average at least 13 to 15,000 views on your tournament videos

[@Zaldaingerous]

Still going to post videos but feel like my viewers deserve better than videos at the same venues over and over

[@matthewhairell849]

I want to know how many yards of line you go through in a season. We need a line yardage counter.

[@Zaldaingerous]

Miles!!!!

[@StephenByrd-tg7dm]

[@lucasnunes5216]

At minute 15:19 what do you throw in the water? Spirulina?

[@mmmkay7729]

Need more bilge podcasts

[@EK99_00]

Why have background music while fishing? This isn’t a music video. Hearing nature, the reel drag, and just the action of catching a fish is all that’s needed. Come on y’all are pros.

Always great videos. Thanks Chris. When can we expect a new bilge episode?

[@Zaldaingerous]

Very soon!

[@EricRomines]

It’s so freaking hard to film and focus on fishing without worrying about cameras. Especially how unreliable some of these action cameras are in the heat. Camera & editing people are not cheap either!

[@Zaldaingerous]

It is more work than most people realize

Well if this is your last then we wont see a classic video? Also can i have your spot on the elites lol 😝 ill be your fill in 😅

[@charlesvaszily-fm2lf]

Hell yeah hopefully 2025 u kill it let’s get a 1st place win next year it’s is anyone game with the schedule not any of the popular smallie lakes which could be game changer let’s see more giant swimbait lakes at the right times of the year keep it up the dangerous swimbait catches donkeys one of the best or the best soft swimbaits out and the colors fire 🔥

[@byronbrush9030]

at least you didnt throw up😂

[@TheZeppelin14]

They need to start weighing them as they are caught and let them go, it's a shame big fish like that die when they don't have to.

[@anythingoutdoorsgulfcoast7617]

No more tournaments or switching to another Trail

[@davegwiazdon8450]

Yeah those hundos are the deal. I’m a machinist so I’m biased.

Smallmouth are so easy to catch. That poor marshall.

[@dinkdynasty]

Hopefully those idiots at Lake Murray tournament arent the cause of you not vloging. Those guys where jerks. I enjoy your perspective out ther. Look forward to seeing you at the classic in March. I live in Denton and i hope i get to meet you some day. Grew up in cali and fished against arron martens. Anyways enjoy your off season!

[@Zaldaingerous]

Lol nah. Tired of filming at the same locations every year, over and over because the schedule stays the same. My viewers deserve better.

[@russfinley7674]

Instead of wasting time in Lake Ontario, why don't you fish Wheathouse Bay, Lighthouse Point, Oak Point, and Blind Bay?

[@Zaldaingerous]

Cory won where I was. He figured out how to present the bait in those waves and execute better, probably bc he’s used to fishing in those conditions there.

So did BASS take so much out of your potential winnings that it doesn’t make sense to hire a cameraman anymore? Also, very much miss The Bilge.

[@Bass_Fishing_101]

You need to fizz your fish

[@gregbarnes4660]

so this ONE boat takes 5 fish 75 miles away from where they're caught just to weigh them in and release.... I appreciate the skill, money and effort this takes but there has to be better way ... for the fish.

[@Zaldaingerous]

It’s not ideal, but it’s a part of tournament fishing. Weighing fish on the water especially in waves is not reliable. Too much on the line for scales to be off by ounces
