As Chris Zaldain was moving in on an area, 2 guys were fishing near the spot Chris was moving to.
Both guys had “tourney” jerseys and the captain said “hang on, I’ll move off while you fish through.”
Come to find out, they were also in a tournament but yielded to The Elites. Ironically Chris caught a keeper and culled right where they were, gaining him a much needed ounce or two.
Thanks guys. Wish we would have gotten their names for a “shout out!” Great guys.
