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.

Love it man. You are a animal. Big baits big Bass
What an epic video, absolute masterpiece!
Love you bro and love the content. But 8 footers aren’t 8 footers unless you see them standing up and break horizon. Just a solid
This was the best fishing video I have ever seen today. The focus and determination was so real man. I felt like I was on that boat with you lol. Amazing
Its funny how we know exactly how much fish weighs after we loose em he lost 7 and 9 they had scales hooked on their mouth when they jumped
so sick
What size line you use throwing baits that size? I’ve fished fork it’s a awesome lake but haven’t tried the big swim baits
Fishing big baits and TOOL…friggin badass!
You all even understand what “underrated” means? He left Megabass for Googan… gtfo with that underrated nonsense
It's two years later bro and I still watch this video so often. You're a badass behind that glidebait and I absolutely love your content. Keep rippin' lips man
I feel your pain I lost a 9 7 and a 12 yesterday. Prove I didn't lol
Awesome music selection for this video
. Nice size fish caught and lost on the glides!! The video edit is sick Chris.
CZ a TOOL fan confirmed????
It’s just becoming a mockery at this point. Let the best anglers in the world use live video to catch fish…… awesome idea.

This might be the most entertaining and cinematic fishing video I have ever seen.
pneuma was a great song choice.
What size swimbaits cstch numbers? 3.8, 4, 6?
20:00
The Tool background started to dig in hard.
is this where i say "sorry T ?"
it worked
Geez I guess I’m going to have to spend $2000 to get my swim bait / giant glide game lined out now . lol
Damn… I watched the entire video ( great action ) and never found out what place he ended up in

Don't even get me started that TOOL is the choice of music for this. Insane bro.
I'm watching your footage from Fork a couple years ago and having a heart attack watching you casually boat flip 6 pounders all day. Awesome!!
I can’t believe I am just now seeing this video. Wow! You guys have been working hard! The editing and the Tool music got me so fired up! I recently retired and broke my collarbone a few months ago. I am just now considering going out on my home lake. After watching this I got my boat on charge. One of the best fishing videos I’ve ever seen. Thanks and good luck!
Digging the tool music bro
Prob the #1 bass on Swimbaits video on YouTube! You’re the man Chris!
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!
