For Chris Zaldain these last minutes are everything. He’s one big bite away from winning.
He’s had that bite or swirl several times today but has yet to get a hook into the type fish that will put him over the edge.
After that it boils down to just how accurate BassTrakk is. Given that most guys fudge a bit. That might not be in his favor.
He may be fudging some himself. So it’s hard to know whether to believe his weight or those seen by my lying eyes.
I still think it’s possible for him to have 14 pounds. But it’s also likely every soul on this final day has something different than what is being shown.
While it’s a well-worn phrase, it’s more appropriate now than ever: This one is most assuredly too close to call.
