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!!
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.

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….
This banger of a video is what we want as an audience. Keep accelerating your content and fish on.
Really liked the movie format! Looking forward to future productions!
This right here. Passion. Love it
I love these movies… so dope!
I'm glad I could watch this , thanks for sharing
Well done and so much fun. Thank you and welcome to Texas.
I’ve only caught one at 10.03 when I was 14 yrs old. 25 yrs later, still chasing to beat it!
Just amazing

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.
Great video Chris thanks
That's pretty cool to see the lineage that the Sharelunker program can track from each fish.
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.
Amazing Video!
Man, Zaldain, I live up in Canada and can only watch and drool when I see bass like these....

Like no other vid I've seen -- outstanding job, Mr. Z (and company)! So instructive, informative, and EXCITING, from beginning to end. Well done, sir -- can't wait for the next one (and I've gotta book a trip down to 'O-H' soon)!
Z. Great video One of your best 🐟🐟🐟
I'm from Ohio and I would love to hug that share lunker lady, because I plan on fishing in Texas one day!
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!

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 🤷🏼♂️

My guy great video learned a lot and fuels my desire even more to catch a 10 +
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.
Amazing content

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 😂
Just finished the first video! Hell ya brotha, I love this type of content. I will meet you someday! Thanks for everything you’ve e done for bass fishing.💪🏽

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!

*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.
I always figured Mike Long would "snag" a new world record in California 😂😂😂

Every single lake that has bass tournaments on it should be stocking share lunker genetics. It’s a no brainer.
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.😎
What snaps do you use for glidebaits? You are my favorite Elite Series Pro because of your enthusiasm, out of the box thinking, and passion for catching quality bass. Keep the great content flowing!

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.

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(?).

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.
Here in Georgia I’m on a quest for a 10 pounder Have three at 9 pounds and I throw back eight pounders back left and right lol
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 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.
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.
