How does this video only have 496 likes with over 11,000 views?!?!?! Some of the best editing in the RUclips world!!!!! Thank you for what you guys do...always love your video's!!!!!
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
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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! 👍🏽👍🏽
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!!
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?
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! 🙏🏿🤎🎣
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.
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
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...
Even better if all u pros come down and fish with us in texas... lake conroe.... it would be great... wounded warrior project always looking for better venues for our warriors....
Those waves were like 2-4 foot MAX lol. I been in true 6-8 footers in a 33t contender and i can promise you all your money those were far from 8 footer my guy. Love the content but quit playing around hahaha
Ur pointing amd saying "over there" But to me at least it lioks like your in the middle of the ocean.i dont see any land whatsoever. If you could showing us how close you are to the shore would be killer
I mean, you ain’t wrong. A stick like him could fish Texas trails, build a big channel and probably do better than fishing the elites 🤷♂️ had to have that resume bling to do it though.
@@MyChaoticFishing his resume is THICK and plenty good enough to fish anywhere he wants.. I was just saying if he didn't fish the elites anymore I'd get it . Make hella money fishing in Texas. Hell Todd castledine make a killin fishing Toyotas n Texas derbs
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!
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 🔥
@Zaldaingerous well you're always in my top 5 favorites so please don't leave the content space bc I live on your content and pods! All love Z from IN!
Dude can't keep up with the young guns, lights them up on social media and podcasts, then dips. I became a fan after the swimbaits on lake fork video but it's been a clown show since then imo. Left megabass, duplicated and rebranded the magdraft and wasted a bunch of breath trying to justify that it wasn't more or less a duplicate of their bait. Would've been a lot more commendable to just admit ya fell off

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
Whatever your plans are wish you nothing but the best. A flutter spoon has become one of my favorite ways to fish, so versatile.
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.
:( We will miss you Zaldaingerous your videos will definitely still teach me to fish your techniques
Wow, videos don't come any better than this. I'll still be following you next year regardless of the location.
The split part deux, NPFL is the future baby!
Love watching you boss. And the interviews with you n Trait. Keep ‘em coming boss.
Going to miss your tournament videos but im sure whatever content you put out next will be awesome and i will be watching.
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.
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
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
Glad to finally see some videos from you again!!
👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

These are better than watching live tournaments. Sad it’s over
Great video man, thanks for all the time and energy you put into these, very informative 👍
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!

Zaldain on a Megabass Destroyer spinning rod?! Looks like the Addermine. Started using Megabass because of you man! Goodluck next year bud.
Yes, good eye!!! Broke out the golden oldie 🤘🏽
Love the content and the mindset. Keep grinding brother!
Always a pleasure to watch your videos dude!!!

That tournament was one of my all time favorites. The first time I showed the world my secret weapon 😁
Hey delta rat - been a min.
Seems appropriate today
A huge thank you for everything you and Chris have done over these years 🎉 😢
Just started watching! LFG!!!! Tight lines bro bro
Appreciate it broseph!
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?
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.
🏄♂️ 🌊
Chris what rod do you use for Spybaiting? I saw that little bait hanging out of that one’s mouth haha.
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! 🙏🏿🤎🎣
The channel isn’t over 👊🏽
@Zaldaingerous hell yeah! 👍🏿👊🏿
Incredible video and edit
Not on my watch Chris! Keep them coming man. God Geace to your family.
I appreciate that
@Zaldaingerous I'm watching you like Bad Santa either way. Go do what you love, make some kids with Trait. And Happy Thanksgiving
The videos are getting better and better congrats! Always pulling for you. When is the next podcast?
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.
Awsome look forward to the new year
100 views and 10 likes. 😢 Come on now y’all!!! Just hit the button. It’s pretty easy.
That was cool how everyone let taku weigh in before them.
Best tournament videos, hands down
Hells yea!!! 2nd day was fire bro.!!!
Yes it was!
Great video
More info for the Fort worth event in march?
Great video. Makes me want to go out and fish in 35 degree weather. Lol
last? for this year, aight? u got me, 😖
😉
I want to know how many yards of line you go through in a season. We need a line yardage counter.
Great video!
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
Still going to post videos but feel like my viewers deserve better than videos at the same venues over and over
So Sad Chris- Hope its only a pre April joke🫣
Are you not with 13 fishing anymore? The rapala buyout seems like it wasn't a good thing for 13.
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...
Need more bilge podcasts
Awesome video!! Good luck in 2025
Are you fishing the elites next year ?
Why does it’s say last bassmaster tournament? For 2024??
You used a Steez Real Control in the last Video. Is this the MH Model? 🤔
Even better if all u pros come down and fish with us in texas... lake conroe.... it would be great... wounded warrior project always looking for better venues for our warriors....
Whens the next podcast!
No more tournaments or switching to another Trail
What's your hook of choice for crig
I want to know how many yards of line you go through in a season. We need a line yardage counter.
Miles!!!!
At minute 15:19 what do you throw in the water? Spirulina?
I’m gonna have to google that later lol
It's Please Release Me. It's to help keep your fish alive.
Idk why everyone hates on sponning reels honestly think personally they are better than bait casting reels.
Always great videos. Thanks Chris. When can we expect a new bilge episode?
Very soon!
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 😅
Very nice content
Yeah those hundos are the deal. I’m a machinist so I’m biased.
The level of quality that Bates has committed to is refreshing.
Promise?
Those waves were like 2-4 foot MAX lol. I been in true 6-8 footers in a 33t contender and i can promise you all your money those were far from 8 footer my guy. Love the content but quit playing around hahaha
It’s very easy to look up the tournament date and the conditions for that day on Lake Ontario… the event was aired live on Fox Sports 1.
Ur pointing amd saying "over there"
But to me at least it lioks like your in the middle of the ocean.i dont see any land whatsoever. If you could showing us how close you are to the shore would be killer
Last ever? I wouldn't blame you, you could make more money fishing in Texas
😅

Lol nah. Tired of filming at the same locations every year, over and over because the schedule stays the same. My viewers deserve better.
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 🔥
You need to fizz your fish
😢
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.
Last😢 say it isn’t so!
Don’t worry, Brett! Good things to come 🫡
Smells like a clickbait title…
Nope, no more tournament vlogs.
@ bro….bummer! I’m sure you’ll be bringing some good stuff
It says last vlog not fishing last elite tournament. And he finished top 20. lol he had to cash checks to finish top 20. People really are idiots
Retirement?
Not quite yet. Want to show other stuff around derb fishing 🤘🏽
@Zaldaingerous well you're always in my top 5 favorites so please don't leave the content space bc I live on your content and pods! All love Z from IN!
We'll find you!
Dude can't keep up with the young guns, lights them up on social media and podcasts, then dips. I became a fan after the swimbaits on lake fork video but it's been a clown show since then imo. Left megabass, duplicated and rebranded the magdraft and wasted a bunch of breath trying to justify that it wasn't more or less a duplicate of their bait. Would've been a lot more commendable to just admit ya fell off
You’re right. 14th in AOY is not keeping up and the Loaded is a duplicate.
Truth
this sucks
