Wheel of Misfortune Fishing Challenge | Cory Johnston vs Chris Zaldain

Bass Fishing March 7, 2026 2 views

What happens when every missed fish, backlash, break off, or 30 minute drought forces you to spin the Wheel of Misfortune?

Absolute chaos.

Chris Zaldain and Cory Johnson hit an unfamiliar Alabama lake with one goal in mind: catch more bass than the other guy. The twist? Every mistake comes with a punishment. Miss a fish? Spin the wheel. Break one off? Spin it. Lose a fish? Spin it. Go 30 minutes without a catch? You already know… spin it.

And this wheel does NOT play nice.

Penalties included:
– Karaoke mid challenge
– Fishing with the wrong hand
– One handed fishing
– Sitting down while fishing
– Dizzy fishing
– And the dreaded… jump in the lake

With spotted bass and largemouth both in play around standing timber, bluff walls, and heavy cover, things escalated quickly. Early hook ups reset clocks. Backlashes almost cost big. Broken lines triggered spins. And multiple double penalty moments had both anglers scrambling.

This is competitive bass fishing with a twist and it proves one thing. The fish are only half the battle. Surviving the wheel is the real challenge.

Drop a comment if you want to see the Wheel of Misfortune make a comeback on another lake.
