Chris Zaldain locks a big swimbait in his hand on Lake Fork for the Bassmaster Elite Series event. He commits to a glidebait-style swimbait as the shad spawn picks up on Lake Fork. See what Zaldain looks for on Lake Fork during a shad spawn to entice fish with his giant swimbait.

👍🏼swimbait is the way to go lol
Good stuff!!!! Gotta love Fork in the spring!!!!!
I know it wasn't the finish you was hoping for but that was still a hell of a tournament your definitely the Goat of the big baits
Ayo tool at 18 minutes LETS GO
Great video, but I hate when people claim weights of fush they didn’t boat.
“That was a 9 pounder!”
Was it though? It’s like when people guess the size of bears or Atlantic Salmon (hunting and fishing outfitter here), take at least 1/3 off the top.
I’ve been trying to find this video for a minute
The animation gets a little old. Nothing excitement, but the grunt picking up every time flipping it in the boat. Personally, I appreciate a lot of your videos, but the drama is killer.
Well that took about 5 minutes on Google maps to find that "sea wall" point. Looks good !!
I love throwing swimbaits but for some reason after the swimbait craze fish here literally wont bite one anymore 😂 been a fan for a long time just discovered your channel. Great videos hope you and trait are doing great
Juuuust could not get those this year 🥹…a very good day 👊😎
Hawg hunting on lake fork lets go dude
I’ve learned so much from this video man it’s my favorite video of you grinding it out and attacking all the right points all at the right time! You’re a Legend in my eyes✍🏾🔥
Unfortunately the big swim bait bite here on the east coast is very hit and miss.
Hands down the best fishing video I’ve ever seen! Well done to all!
Production video quality, absolutely amazing!
Could you imagine being in the tournament with him? He would CRUSH the comp!
I feel like shit if I lose a 3 lber when I'm fishing for fun. Can't imagine what it's like to lose a 9 lber during a tournament. BTW, can't wait to get my hands on your new swimbait!
Hell yeah, lovin the tool! Puts this video together very well!
Good stuff man 🐟
Great video! Awesome putting Tool in the background too 🤘🔥
110jr is excellent for that shallow still catches giants and you don't have to jerk up!
Genuine question. As a bank angler, I tend to lose a fair number of fish trying to flip them out of the water. I've learned through painful experience to use my net for landing. I'm just curious if Chris ever has the same issue? Seems like he has confidence in his hooksets, lol. I would just constantly be worried that the fish is going to flop off on the way to the boat.
I have watched alot of video's But this was one of the best , Congrats !
Fantastic editing! Great video!
Tool?? didnt think I'd ever here them as background music on fishing videos..
How the hell did you get rights to use tool songs?!?! Freaking awesome but not something I figured Maynard would be ok with.
Bro, I know I’m late to this video, but this is the most epic shit I’ve seen. Between the monsters caught on the big baits and Tool backing the video… legendary!
I literally just sat in my jeep for 45 mins watching this with the audio pumping through my system. Fucking epic
Such a classic video. This should’ve been a movie 😂
awesome! your video quality has gotten very good. it looks like @bmpfishing has a new rival for tourney videos!
Great video
Man I appreciate this video he doesn’t just show the good times he lets us know tht there r some bad times and as wonderful of a professional tht he is he still makes mistakes. He is by far my favorite angler but he may want to have someone laser sharpen those hooks 🪝 🤦♂️
DOPE ASS EDIT!!

What's that bait?
SWIMBAITS, TOOL, BIG BASS, you have my upvote !!!
What was the final standing?
Best tournament video I have ever seen !!
