Just how excited are the Elite anglers to get fishing again? I asked Clifford Pirch that question a few minutes ago.
“I’m pretty keyed up,” said the normally calm, cool Payson, Arizona, pro. “I was shaking when they were biting back there.”
During the downtime Pirch spent a lot of time collecting elk antlers, which he sells, and gardening.
Pirch has two bass in his livewell so far for 4-8.
