The ARTIST | How One Painter Changed The Underground Lure Market Forever 

I love these little films y’all do. Real people doing real things in the world. Making a difference the only way they know how, and putting in the work. Beautiful job Catch Co. 👌🏼

The person that edited this did absolutely phenomenal. Even a filter sweeping the high frequencies away sweeping them back in, reintroducing them when he comes out of the water around the 6:36 mark, is astonishingly well done.

Thanks for the inspiration!! I've been working 2 jobs for over 3 years now and dabbled with lure making over the past few years, just dropped all the money I saved from the second job on air brush, paints, blanks, epoxy, molding materials etc. And quit the second job in hopes of this being a profession for me someday. Been close to calling it quits a few times but this video def inspired me and I thank you for that. 👍🙏

I love your enthusiasm & outlook on life, much respect my friend 👍😷👍

Thank you for your service.. AMD thank you for your great contributions to my favorite sport 👊

The most fascinating part of this for me was finding out there's an underground lure market.

Man, been following you for years now. Seeing you grow and get to this level gives the rest of us out here hope and inspiration beyond belief. Gotta love the entire story. Keep it going! Dreams do come true..

Congrats Christopher. BUBONIC is an Empire and you should be very proud of yourself for all you've accomplished. 👏👏👏

Even just watching this calms my soul

The world would be great if everyone had this attitude

Really well put together video. Have admired your paint schemes for some time now. As someone that also paints and makes hundreds of fishing items, your statement is spot on. I’ve learned my lessons throughout the years. When you do come up with the killer idea, don’t share it and keep it to yourself till all the items are in order. I cringe when I walk through a fishing store and see on a shelf something I made 20 years ago but couldn’t get anyone to believe in me. Now multiple companies make and I got left out.

I just picked up my first catch co bait! This video was so inspiring!

Much Respect Awesome work and thank you for your Service as well. From one. Veteran to another. 💯🎣🎣💪🏽🇺🇸💪🏽

Incredible. This series is some of the best documenting ever.

Very Inspiring. I just painted my first lure today...first of many

Love this video. The headline is perfect, Changed the Underground Lure Market Forever. Well done. Congrats.

Who ever recorded this did an amazing job!

That was an incredibly enjoyable watch. I love hearing from masters of their craft, and why they do the things they do.

Started lure painting last year. Def fell in love with it. Hope to make a few extra bucks on it, but if not, at least ill always have lures

As someone who is starting to make their own baits, I can really connect!

I was just telling my buddy a few weeks ago that I should start airbrushing my own lures! Been airbrushing as a hobby for years. This video definitely inspires me! Nicely done sir!

These docs are top rate! Excellent artistry thanks for introducing me to his work.

Very inspiring. I believe art can intersect with anything to make a better outcome. He’s right, fishing is an art in and of itself so it is no surprise that unique lures have a place in this market. Great video as well!

Awesome talent dude and thank you for your service.

Man that’s awesome!! Absolutely love your creativity and story as well, I’ll definitely support what you have going on! Just like the googans catch co knows how to get with the right fellas good luck brotha!

This is why I paint baits! This man right here has changed the way i look at a lure.

This is what I want to do! Man this was awesome getting to see my favorite painted lures behind the scenes!

I was watching your story on RU-vid, and I like the colors you're working with. Watching you is motivating. Your statement about having a solution to your problems is dead on!

Great video, thanks.

What a fantastic video!!!!!

Badass work man!

Great video and great job on those baits bud they look incredible! Keep up the great work !

Imagine if everyone had this attitude! Life’s too short my brothers and sisters!Live your dreams not someone else’s✝️

I can’t decide. You obviously are a good lure maker, no doubt on that. You maybe should look into being a film maker. This thing was a treat to watch

Hey catch co I like your vidoes keep the good work 👍🏻

This is so inspiring as I started a journey on bait making and painting as I feel that’s my path it’s something about outdoors the water and fish I truly believe we have a connection with are zodiac signs as I’m a pisces and I feel my gosh friend symbol is calling me… love the work you

Very awesome video! You paint unique looking lures. I just found rhis video hopefully you have more. Im not at painting lures but its rekaxing.

Always wanted to mate the 2, 2 of my favorites fishing and art. Now I'll have 3 hobbies ! Lol

Just got me one today and I got it cause it was different. Coolest looking crank I have thanks !

I highly suggest clicking on his instagram page. I've never seen lures that look so wild and awesome. Wow.

Really love your story very inspiring now I need to get my first catch co bait any suggestions

Sick lures bro..

Inspirational Sir !!

Brother I love your Story, you truly are an artist. What stores sell your lures, I will love to get some of them. Every single one is a piece of art.

Great job on the Video

Awesome video. Work hard for those dreams!

this was dope!

Im inspired

Those crankbaits look killers

i have seen many video by far the most motivation video in lure making.. i started lure making about 1 1/2 ago but had family making fly fishing lures.. thanks you for your services and motivation once again, if you ever want to trade bait for bait hit me up...

I mean, the audio for every moment in this was captured at amazingly high quality. What mic setup was used for that? Things like the splash into the water, and the door hinge opening. Those real life sound effects, what were they captured with for hardware? As an editor, this video intrigues me!

I love the package they come in.. The baits are bad a.. But you can say I'm a sucker for the packaging also..

Great job Chris, really good work. I have a question, what type of paint and what PSI were you shooting when you sprayed that rust color at around 3:20. This is the first video of yours that I've watched, what part of the country do you live? My reason for asking is that I live on Lay Lake, in central Alabama, if you're ever nearby, stop in and we will see if we can get some Alabama largemouth and spotted bass in the boat. Lay Lake has been blessed with the honor of hosting four Bassmaster Classics. I've subscribed and am looking forward to following your work.

What a fucking animal this is amazing 🙏🏽🙌🏽 congratulations man!

Respected by me!!

Nice job! Im just starting out airbrushing. Can you list the colors your using on your baits?

This guy needs his own youtube channel

Was the main camera for this a Panasonic GH5? Sorry for all the hardware questions :)

I do this too. Im 1 of a kind at carving

That's what's up bro.

Hey brother this is the first time I saw you're video. Great story.. my question to you. It's been 3 yrs.. so how you making out now. Great work by the way.. jeff from Alabama

You guys should definitely talk to Marling Baits man

Hey man that’s so cool how you came up. Me and you have a lot of common as kids. And now I want to paint 🎨. What lure company do you like for blanks. Thanks

What are the little pencil like holders you have that hold the baits, and where do you get them

Art meets fish. Life

How can I buy your baits. I am looking for some that mimic crawfish on the Susquehanna river in Pa

I have a idea for mass production. I would like to team up however i think we have different products. Great luck brother.

I need to know where airbrush you used what paint are you using

What varnish laquer do you use to coat the lures?

Hi...what type of compressor did you used

You really should find a school that offers a class on motivational speaking, there’s a future out there with another chapter

👍

Geno customs off usa?👌👌👌some like yourself needs to paint for rapala or some big name company!!

How come the artist username is not found on Instagram? How do you find him?

Your paint skills are unique. I have a murder hornet i carved that looks real

Does he still have his instagram? Cause I can’t find it

🥓

👍🏼

That's not Nate Marling

Go red sox

why did you blur the shirt

Hello my Brother, and GREAT Video. I say Brother, because we have a lot in common, other than I am NOT an artist. I am a 23 Yr. Retired Army Veteran, Diehard Kayak Fisherman, “Hobie Pro Angler 12” and starting to get into custom painting crankbaits. To be honest with you, I have NEVER used an air brush in my life, and I have purchased almost $3,000 worth of paints and equipment to start painting my own baits. I am in the process of finishing up my paint booth and I will begin my adventure in Airbrush Painting. I have watched Numerous videos and since I fish 3-5 times a week (Literally 8-12 hours each fishing trip), I would love to create my own custom baits. I have HUNDREDS of different crankbaits and lipless baits, but for the most part, they are painted to catch the HUMAN eyes and not so much to catch the FISHES eyes. Artists have added their artist touch to their baits and got away from how REAL FISH look like. I have the ability to create my own colors based off digital photos of REAL fish, which gives me the ability to paint the baits in REAL FISH colors and not needing to use the pre-made colors that everyone uses. I vision using 5-10 actual fish colors to custom detail my baits, but first need to learn how to use an airbrush (SMILE).I am also the NE Wisconsin Chapter Coordinator for “Heroes on the Water”, which is a non-profit organization that takes Disabled Veterans, First Responders and their family members kayak fishing for therapeutic medicine. I take many people kayak fishing, and I let them build their own tacklebox for the day out of my personal bait supply. My passion is kayak BASS FISHING, and my new Hobby Passion will be in custom painting fishing lures that other veterans and I can use. I do have MANY Hobbies, but I am sure this hobby will be the most rewarding to me.Thank You for your Service, and Good Luck with our Company.

The "underground lure market" lol!

As a professional air brush artist for over 30yrs, I can show you a easyer way to splatter with a clothes pin and a airbrush....

I can show you two fish come about the water that look exactly the same.

Fishing Lure Makeup 😂

Doesn't appear to be any safety measures with his spray setup. I hope he wears a respirator because if he doesn't he's going to be in big trouble.

Great video and awesome paint jobs. I'm just getting into doing this myself.
