Its wild the production of these videos. His team is consistently putting out the best made fishing videos, its better than watching tv or a movie at this point.

This is probably the best video I’ve seen of your tournament career Chris! I’m not saying that because of the large number of fish you caught, the great information you shared or the place you finished in the tournament, but rather your overall joy and happiness that is so infectious! I had to smile myself just watching, as it made me genuinely happy for you and lifted me up as well! I have always enjoyed your content, but this one is even more special because everyone can feel how much fun you are having here and it’s just a great moment to share.

I bet those old Megabass rods are looking pretty good right about now.

You’re joking right? I broke more Megabass rods than any brand in my career. I’m very hard on rods, which says everything about how well my 13s are built. I assume you didn’t watch the video but when you high stick a rod that’s not made for the bait you have tied on because the trolling motor came down on the butt of the one you brought- it will happen 😜

@zaldaingerous proud dad moment of the year over here ! I can’t thank you enough man you made my boys day gifting him that rod he already has it hanging above his derby trophies!!! Such an awesome video man keep doing what your doing brother you make an impact on a ton of kids and my son was lucky enough to be one of them someday he wants to be on that stage fishing against you !!!! Big bass Big stage big dreams lfg

I’m just glad to see someone catching them differently

3:50-3:57 THE LAKE CHAMP MONSTER! 😂😂

I have always appreciated the education during tournaments that Chris offers. He takes time out for those of us that are not tournaments fisherman. Thanks Chris from Central California. If you make it out here to do some fishing again I would sure like to meet up and have you teach me some things.

If i had to pick a dude to go fishin with it would be Chris! such a chill dude...hope he is the same way off camera!

Thank you, Chris, for including the clips of you breaking rods and not cutting that stuff out to avoid disappointing your sponsors. It adds some realism to your videos and for those of us that watch your videos not only to be entertained, but to be educated, that helps us to understand that this stuff happens to pros too. Thanks again! Keep it real 👊🏼

Find the size of thin walled aluminum arrow shaft, cut a foot piece and keep it in the boat. I am fishing with a custom rod that broke in the same exact place. I cut it with a dremel and cutting wheel, put just enough tape on the arrow shaft (2413) to keep it secure in the rod, and taped the shit out of it. Feel’s actually good. So I’m still using it lol.

Them northern fish probably only see a spoon when the lakes are frozen. Great move in my opinion on breaking out the spoon that is what separates real fisherman from the regular crowd that is doing what everyone else is. You are all ways trying to do something different and that’s what I love about your style. Keep it up. I know better days are coming for you next year. Now it’s time to just go have some fun fishing with Tate!!

Another B-B-B-B-B-BANGER video!!! Appreciate you, Chris

Thanks for high quality vids; great production. Enjoy the pics of what some of the bait fish look like. I have not been able to travel and fish other areas than California and Baja California. Struggling here in urban San Diego city lakes.

Not gonna lie been watching Scott martin Matt are scott caniberry . Anywho love the giveaway at the dock getting a bait from the fan was priceless . Till next time tight lines buddy

Great Show 👍🏻🌶

The Zaldaingerous one! Lets gooooo!

It’s fun watching you have fun again! Keep grinding! Get some!

You are so good with big baits and spoons. Love watching these vids!

Damn dude, I hope you have a pile of spare rods in one of the storage bays of the RV! Otherwise I guess an emergency run to Bass Pro would be in order to get some temporary rods until the sponsors can get new rods in your hands. Hell of a day. Good luck on the St. Lawrence.

At 22:35, you just about had a spoon in the hands😮. Smallmouth and small spotted bass scare the health out of me when I'm fishing treble hooks.

Chris I love your positive attitude. One of the best videos I’ve watched. Your pod casts are great too. I will try your attitude witch is contagious with spoons coming up in a local lake. Thank You

What a day rod busting action! Pun intended. A spoon is one of my favorite baits.👍👍👍👍👍

great video

Great video, Great Content as usual. Shout out to G.Loomis/Shimano the only Rods I break are when my buddy steps on one or let's the rod locker door slam on one. Love my fishing Buddies. However, they have broken 3 of my Rods so far ! Again... Great video Chris !

Brotha! Freaking awesome video. Straight up slay fest in this vid. Awesome job.

When points dont matter and the money is the same no matter where you finish, makes for a fun ass time. I know youd rather been weighing each fish for ounces so you could be in that top 10, but damn ghat was fun to watch

Real sportsman right there. Releasing multiple fish that are larger because of the health of the fish. I don't know about anybody else but I find that truly respectful and responsible. A true representative of the sport.

Chris Custom rod handle , Id buy it

Love your content and educational instruction on the water. My dad could work magic with a spoon. I was in the boat with him one day and watched him catch 8 for 56lbs and change. It was something I've never seen before or since. I do have a question, though. Why are you still using a puncture cull tag?

lol..."genuinely excited..."

60 degrees is nice warm day up north here in ChiRaqlol. We be breaking the jorts and cutoff t’s! Looks like you caught a glimpse of Champ! Love the new content! Then again…. 60 on open water is cold as shit 😂 with that spoon technique, is it applicable from shore if you are casting into deep water? Or is it really vertically focused and target oriented?

4:18..HE SAID GOBIES! UH OHHHH...

Don’t show people smallies eat things besides drop shots 😂 haha keep up the good work!!

great video. the only company known for non breakable rods are uglystick. i broke my 6th sense lux early this summer on a 2lb pike i was 😡 it broke, but its also feels kinda good when ya rod breaks with a good size fish on it. tight lines Chris.

How many Meanmouth or Smallmouth have you caught from Ray Roberts? I know you fish it at times. I’ve only caught 3 Meanmouth and no smallmouth but I also fish big baits most of the time. I live 5 minutes from the ramp. The only smallmouth I’ve ever caught were from Texoma and I was targeting them.

Wait…..hardware stores?? Are those just simple generic spoons like in a kid’s kit or camping kit? If so ….PLEASE tell me now!! I so need that info! Lol

I dont think you gotta worry about what your tourny standings are. I mean i get why you wanna be first, but you already do a lot more than 99% of the guys on tourny trails. What i think is the coolest about you and Trait is no matter what people say or how they act, you guys keep doing your own stuff the way you want.
