Zaldain scrambling to make the 50 cut

Chris Zaldain started the day in first place, and now he’s scrambling just to make the Top 50 cut after today’s weigh-in. BASSTrakk has him in 49th place at 11:30 a.m., with just a single 1-pound, 6-ounce bass added to his 24-3 big bag from Friday.

Zaldain has changed tactics, according to Gettys Brannon, who is following him on the water today. Zaldain just made a long run and started fishing boat docks. After just missing a big fish that left teeth marks on his swimbait, Zaldain said, “I should have been doing this hours ago.”

Zaldain still has plenty of time to get back in the hunt, considering how fast you can do that on Kentucky Lake. But he’s had to resort to a fall-back plan.
