Chris and Johnny " Serpico", you are both Blessed with amazing talents. You are boh living testaments of the American Dream, where with hard work and dedication, you can be or do anything you set your mind to. Thank you again for including me in this project. Thank you Mr. Serpico for making it look like I can still catch a fish. Chris scorched me with my bait during this shoot, and I was OK with it.😅😅😅 . Back in the day, I would've went into isolation and counseling sessions...
God Bless both of you! TFIT
Dude I can't say enough!!! This is EPIC! The information and the video edit . The views and action is Awsome !!! I can not express how good this is !!! I mean it's like I am there !!!!! Thanks Zaldaingerous TEAM !!!!!
Awesome video 👏
Damn this made me smile! Learned almost everything I know about fishing from mr Barrack on the CA delta and we all owe him for the modern day frog and what it can do! Bobby isn’t just an amazing frog fisherman but an tremendous source of knowledge and true og pioneer of bass fishing! Miss him since he moved to Texas….
Nobody tells stories like Bobby, just the absolute best. Love when he imitates Dobyns voice, laugh every time
Absolute hands down best story teller. So vivid.
Wow TWO of my favorite guys. Bucket list boat partners!!! Bobby is a legend, and Z is my FAVORITE host of all!!
Let’s go fishing! 😉
I could listen to Bobby talk about fishing a frog 24 hours a day. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have had hours of conversations with him. So much useful knowledge in this video!
I just started fishing last year. After a while I made it my mission to catch a bass on the frog. It took a long time, but when I landed my first one I was so happy! I've been landing them on the frog pretty well ever since!
Thanx again Zaldy for the coverage. I’m honored to have had 4 days in the boat with the Master Blaster Bobby Barrack. I learned more listening & watching than I would have in months of fishing. Replicating his total approach & feeding off his knowledge is priceless. Luv you Bobby for making my addiction healthy & transferable onto my granddudes. Total respect
Thanks Ant!!! Haven’t been called Zaldy since my hockey days! Love it
awesome production. more please
Bro your production is up there with the best!! Keep up the good content. I’ve been following and you have a badass channel. 💯
I appreciate that B.A.S.S. assassin!!
One of my favorite frog fishing videos I've ever watched Bobby is the man!!!
Imagine a frog with a camera on the belly. So you could see the fish approach, set up, and strike. My god that would be amazing.
Like when they put a fake seal out with a camera to capture great white strikes!
Having grown up in the Bay Area and getting into bass fishing in the 2000s seeing you help bring Bobby Barrack mainstream is so awesome and almost nostalgic! Not only a wizard with a frog but his casting skills are absolutely insane. His quotes alone make him a national treasure. My 2 favorites being "she shamooed it" and "I gave her the bad news" 😂
Hope a part 2 comes out and especially a video of him demonstrating how he casts!
The Gary Dobyns Impersonation was absolutely spot on!!😂😂
I miss THIS kind of frog fishing being from south Arkansas. Living near Table Rock and Bull Shoals now, my frog fishing is a little different, but still love it.
Awesome Video. Bobby is the OG frog man
That video was a masterpiece! A lot of work, time, ,,and your lives went into all of it and all I had to do was sit here and watch. Man, I enjoyed it…,, thank you. Very cool, great energy!
One hell of a video! There’s no other way I’d rather catch them than a frog.
Very cool, thanks Bobby and Chris.
The Zaldain content (across the board) is leading the way and really setting the standard for what UA-cam should be.
Love this! I need more content like this, I think learning about the history of something helps you, to understand where it goes next or how to apply these principles today.
I remember when the original tournament frogs came out in the 90’s. Me and my buddy bought a bunch and added brass beads, glass beads and inserted other noise maker things in those frogs, and we would absolutely kill the fish, because nobody was doing it. We’d trim the legs and kind of get them to walk, but Bobby was right when braid came out it was a game changer. At that time just being a high school kid, I couldn’t afford the braid when it came out, but when I finally got my hands on some, it changed my game. Favorite frog set up was a 7’6” MH flippin stick with a quantum pro 3 reel.
Incredible content sir!
We're blessed to have BB still as the master of ceremonies out here at the CA delta!!! 🙏
Can't be a more knowledgeable and enthusiastic ambassador in the sport!! True LEGEND!!
Tight lines from the San Joaquin Bassmasters 🎣
Absolutely crushed it on production and editing! Just like that this is one of the best frog vids on UA-cam!
Lessons the Frogmaster are invaluable!
I feel so blessed to have been able to go out with Bobby for Striper and froggin trips. Arguably the best delta guide ever. His stories, and persona were worth the price of a trip but the knowledge he dropped to help you get better and understand what/why… he could have charged double!
I watched it twice to soak up pearls of wisdom
You could do an epic series of BB lessons on the delta!
Zaldain is my spirit animal.
Love me some Bobby B frog talk!!!
I can listen all day.
Frog fishing, swim bait fishing dam I can't get enough...
Well done guys!!!
The greatest to ever do it! Cap'n Bob is in a league of his own. Thanks for this incredible video!
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen good stuff yall!
Born and raised NCAA Delta We salute both you boys I've had the privilege of shaken Bobby barracks hand and listening to his seminars he's a legend so are you let's f****** go
Dude you and Charles are killing it. This was awesome. Well told story.
Excellent work! Thank you! Enjoyed this way more then most of fishing related content on UA-cam these days. No B.S. just entertainment!
Great content. Gotta love frog fishing!!
Thanks!
Prob the best run down detailed lure video I’ve seen crazy too see the evolution nice video man
Sooo SICK! Really! A+ Film!!
One of best fishing videos/films I have seen. Awesome production and content. Well done.
Best one yet!
That was awesome video, Chris! Thank You!
Bobby B is the best! Thanks for watching
@@ZaldaingerousBoth of you guys are delta legends in my book!
As a kid around 12 years old we'd go down to the mud hole, tie trout flies on and catch a bucketful of live frogs. Then take them to a farm pond we fished, hook them through the lips with a #2 weed less hook pitch them out and they might get five feet kicking across the surface before they'd get blown up. I still reminisce about those days 50 years later. Frogs catch giants
Found your vids and love the way you are giving us a look under the hood of bass fishing. I would love to see bass fishing explode into a mainstream sport the way Nascar, F1 and Supercross have done and well produced content like this is what does exactly that. Keep it coming! Podcast rocks too!
The quality of this video was absolutely epic. 110% cinematic in effect, you'd think you were in a movie theather watching a documentary. Killing the YT game with the quality and execution of videography and engaging content. Best of luck in 2024 Chris!
Hard to beat froggin for big bass!
the content & production value here is amazing...+1 subscriber
Bobby is the man that taught me all I know about frogging years ago watching his videos, 👍
Yessir, same!!!
Greatest show 🐟🐟🐟
Dude what a cool video!
Love this!!
That intro was 🔥 bro.
Great video. Great production.
Much appreciated!
Taking it to the next level. 🔥🔥🔥
⬆️⬆️⬆️
Man that was awesome great video and even better info. Thanks again for sharing all you do with us great to see and hear from Bobby he is the man . Wow. Late.
You bet Blake!!!
Just subscribed to your channel. I’ve been listening to The Bilge podcast daily for the last 3 weeks. Awesome video, very cinematic and entertaining. I recently bought a few Bobby’s perfect frogs 🐸 but didn’t know who Bobby was, what a stud! Frog fishing is my absolute favourite technique.
Awesome!
Excellent
Freaking killer! This is Netflix material🤘🏻
Super cool vid
Hell yeah..keep it coming...this is the real
More to come!
A couple of West Coast hammers! I'm glad to be friends with these guys. A Must Watch - Awesome Video! Share away...
Wow! Bobby. The OG of frog fishing. Soooo many people don't realize the impact Bobby had on the fishing world. I had alot of Bobby's Perfect Frog. It's even tattooed on me.
Thank Chris for mentioning the Belly Boat club.
No doubt!
Great Video Chris!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Ddddaaammnnn!! Now that was a good vid! Nice freakin edit Charles, my ggggaaauudddd that was dope!
Appreciate it Chris! This one was Johnny Z with Charles’ support 🤝
Incredible what braid has done for some techniques.
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Fantastic
Gotta talk about that senko follow up bait,cause they dont often come back and smack the frog twice.I like to throw a black and blue(for my black frogs) and a baby bass for my white belly frogs.Your videos just keep getting better
The goat!
Like the title states the OG ! Thank You GREAT video
Epic!
It’s about to get right down here in FLA!!!!!!
cool ass video do this with every old school bait ! badass
I flyfish with frog patterns usually a smaller size cause the spots i often fish the fish only get about 3 or 4 lbs max. And i do pretty well with the bass and sunfish that are big enough to eat it. My personal theory is they think its a grasshopper because there's alot of them and have watched panfish gang up rip an unfortunate grasshopper to shreds. And the subtle bite is exactly what ive always experienced on topwater when i used to expect giant explosions😂
Yessir I completely agree 🐛
Damn the production quality on this video is crazy! Also it made me want to go out and toss a frog around the pond even though it’s November almost December lol
Thanks Brandon!
Such a good video..
Glad you liked it Marcus!
Dude!!! Love it. So is he guiding out there? Love to see if he can take my son and I out there to catch some hogs.
I remember going to TB and as I kid and never been to Sam Rayburn so me and my dad went and fished and I got that book and red it on the drive back to TB riged 2 frogs with the top hook and caught a 10lb 3oz a 5lb 8oz & 2 that where 4lb 1oz&9oz I seen a couple people fishing like that but not many. But I know 4 people who fish a frog this way anymore and I showed 3 of them and the other is an old man his 78-82 years old I guess and he’s still a hammer. And fish’s his frogs on a Pistol grip old rod that has to be 3lb’s with the old Abu Garcia reel with the Flipping button and the other one has the Hook set button. Before you time I believe but man the good old days I miss
Uhg. Makes me want to go frog fishing so bad.
As I watch this, its funny that the pros aren't teaching one really important thing when fishing a frog. When a fish hits a frog you cant just set the hook, count to 2, then set the hook. When I learned this I haven't missed a fish on a frog yet because of this simple little lesson. Count to 2, then set the hook. It gives the fish a chance to get the frog deeper in its mouth.
While i don't have a tatoo
You said frog
then toss in the fact we get to see the two of you fish ?
I was sold on frog 😂
😂
Chris you have to try the CORE TACKLE T.U.S.H the big one on your Dangerous swimbait! It’s amazing how good it works with your swimbait
Amazing Chris!! How $ was the black with yellow nose BB perfect on the delta back in the day? Or popn white ones off the bank over a bed to marinate!! lol Cheers
Tweety was $
I listened to Byron Velvick too, interviewed by Ken Duke lately.
To compare what was happening in fishing at the time frame that Byron talks about (or with the frog lures here), a very unusual snapshot was captured about that time period then, in a book. Which explains just how much innovation happened in the 80's and 90's decades. That we don't appreciate now. It was prior to when trout anglers figured out big baits on rivers like the White River tailwaters of Arkansas and other places. Roman Moser and such anglers in Austria were moving in a direction then. Others in New Zealand, Argentina, Scandinavia and lots in north America. John Roberts edited a collection of essays by anglers from around the world with hand painted illustrations. The Worlds Best Trout Flies. It's one I'd recommend having on a shelf and reading. It's thirty years old now, but lots of those anglers since have done other things (many in that old text have taken their fly fishing from freshwater to saltwater). Like what Frank Scalish did, moving from northern steelhead guiding to saltwater fly angling in Florida. Oliver Edwards in the book I recall was one of first there who imitated crawfish, and understood that large trout will feed on crawfish (bass anglers figured that out way earlier).
This is great! What does Bobby feel about crystal flash being added to the skirt on a frog?
I’m sure he’s tried it down to the amount of strands!!
My buddy Gary Thomas was the 1st guy I know that did it. Great success! I don't add it enough!!!!
wow
This was filmed earlier this year. Caddo hasn’t looked like that for a while. Sylvania is out of control and most of the pads have been dying
5 stars
How about a Bobby on the bilge podcast?
👍🏼👍🏼
Man just think about an elite tournament there
👀
My biggest fish ever was the most Suttle frog bite i've ever had
It’s like a 💋
“Delta boys”
Born 2 fish
Randy... You seem surprised that 100% of the viewer don't agree with you.. It's not going to happen... Never does..
If you can get one quarter of the people to go along with you.. You're doing good...
Just keep doing your videos for the three quarters of us ... Don't worry about the rest...
What's Bobby doing these days since he moved to Texas?
Prolly ranchin and shootin sh*t 🤠 lol
Don't know if it was the phone call - JF just dropped. 20min or so in he's tossing a 6" mag and sounding like Chris "Bong"
Haha I saw that🤘🏽
Scum frogs all day!!! Spro is good too!!!
I seen this released in november. Its late june time to power fish. I will put away the livescope. And head into the slop. Its time.
Why to sharks eat baby seals cuz it's too easy😂❤
Love this too
Why would you say a frog can win you one million dollars but nothing else does?
