    Wow, Chris and Trait, having Zona, KVD, G Man, on recent podcasts. You can see the momentum building and excitement to hear about the life of anglers.

    Chris & Trait absolutely loved this pod! I save them all to watch, but Mr Swindle is one of my favorite. Seen very little of his socials but DAMN! Much respect to this guy. Absolutely awesome gentleman

    This is truly an ELITE level podcast - Real feelings, real ideas, and real people. I admire the Zaldaingerous one immensely because even when things aren't going well, he represents his sponsors well and always gives the appearance of positivity, plus the "if I go down, I'm going down with the Swim bait locked on" mentality will eventually pay off in a Big Trophy!! Thanks to "The Bilge" for keeping us bass needs entertained and informed!

    The last 3 episodes have really elevated in production value. The lighting, camera angles and framing changes that were adjusted in the last 3 episodes have made a huge difference. Great work guys. I have watched 3 episodes tonight, and they were epic!

    • @Zaldaingerous
      @Zaldaingerous  Před 11 měsíci

      Charles has been editing it live using a switcher which is allowing everything to edit in real time instead of Trait going back and doing it one camera at a time in post. Been huge for us. We added another light for the Hackney podcast that goes up tonight to hopefully help with the hat shadows without ruining the overall lighting.

    Omg we need more G men!!! Being a southern man myself, hearing him talk about complete focus on goals and working for them with all you can muster, really hooks with me. And I think he hooks with most people who listen to him. His life and journey to fishing for a living is so relevant to achieving ANY success in ANY profession. A damn fine man that has done so much for our sport. One of the biggest inspirations I can think of is the one and only…G Man. God Bless you brother. Congratulations on 24!

    @tylermims Před 4 měsíci

    G-Man’s take on the rules is spot on! Any result of any sporting event should be determined by the skill of the participants. Pure fishing skill, interpreting electronics, boat control, knowledge of you boat (i.e.: fuel consumption running to remote areas), reading current conditions and adapting to them.

    • @TLong-lp7qu
      @TLong-lp7qu Před měsícem

      Yes, Gerald is a great fisherman but he has never been a closer. Yes 2 AOYs is great thing but he never won getting there. Never a Classic! Gerald thinks more of himself than the media ever thought of him. He always holds himself in the highest esteem and never dogs anyone by name but dogs them by association. G Man deserves respect but no more than all those publicly belittles in his little tirades. He couldn't make it in the BFL so they can't be all that. No Gerald, you ain't all that, nuff said.

  • @brianrothrock8230
    @brianrothrock8230 Před 11 měsíci

    1ST off great show. I believe Gman's message regarding the "careful throwing ROCKS in a glass house" was so spot on. The industry is relatively small. Always remember the anglers that paved the road before you. Who knows maybe in the future there is one large dominate league ???? (Note: Chris Zaldain is one of the most approachable & kind anglers you will ever meet in person) . Keep grinding Trait & Chris - your killing it

  • @martygillette3764

    Again, my hats off to you, Zaldain. You and Trait have such an incredible podacast! This would go over well on live television like ESPN2, FoxSports, and others that carry fishing programs. I mean seriously, they have discussion shows on Horse racing. I live and was born in Ky, and I know FAR many more anglers than Thoroughbred owners!

    Swindle is a real dude. Met em years ago at an outdoor convention at Rockland community college in NY. We got to talking about jig skipping and he ended up spending a lot of his seminar time on that subject. What you see is what you get. A cool brother

  • @jtrealfunny
    @jtrealfunny Před 11 měsíci

    I'm 30 minutes in and this is a cool conversation, great guest and the insider perspective is solid. The guest will help you understand how things are way different for people depending on their particular situation and time. Excellent.
    38:00 Discussing governance. I haven't heard you mention transparency. I think the fans deserve to know how stuff is controlled and dealt with and that the organizations want to do their stuff more privately. To me it's a sign of real sport that all that stuff is a 'story' like deflategate with Tom Brady. Transparency. Take it from the man.
    It's cool to hear a top competitor saying how he wants good rules and good governance. Strange you don't hear more people just saying that; it is a great indictment of the current situation and doesn't break any of the pros contract rules.
    44:50 Gerald Swindle gets real on who succeeds in pro bass fishing, "It is a hustlers game."

    Y’all are on a great roll. I am glad y’all talked a little bit about the ding boys but didn’t dog them and kept it respectful. To many people in the outdoors talk trash about other outdoorsmen when we should all be coming together to help our resources, hunting or fishing. Keep up the great work.

      She made one little jab. They didn’t spend the whole pod cast on the issue like those other boys did. Besides that jab they didn’t get angry like those other boys did. Don’t get me wrong I watch them as well but we got to stop pointing fingers and getting mad. People are trying to take our resources away.

    Great hearing from G-Man and as always the double interview that you and Trait conduct. I love Bassmaster and MLF. Everyone is an angler trying to succeed. I dont think the issue is with the organizations, more with the companies that organized the conference. They know what is going on in both trails... if it was flip flopped, there would be people pissed at MLF. Just wish there was more positivity and support for the anglers, who ultamitely suffer.

    I watched the video with connell, wheeler, MDJ, and Avena. IDK if y'all just seen a short from the video or if your interpretation was wrong, but in there defense they said multiple times they're not bashing the anglers and wheeler admitted twice that he learned his lesson early in his career on Kentucky lake about having respect for anglers on the water during a tournament.

      Both points addressed by G in the podcast
