Zaldain's unseen heartbreak and heroics in final moments of Guntersville competition

NEVER BEFORE SEEN: Chris Zaldain's final 10 minutes at Lake Guntersville after Bassmaster LIVE ended. Zaldain fished until the final possible second to get back to weigh-in on time and went from 5 fish for 10 pounds to 18-10 in just 10 minutes. He came up 6 ounces short at Lake Guntersville, which was his second 2nd place finish by less than a pound in 2019.

Too bad for Chris , he's a cool guy. Met him at the skeeter owners tournament a couple weeks ago. He is the real deal.

[@Whereisfreddy]

Hey signing those kids hats should be the ultimate gift for you!!

[@chaseerry]

What. A. Finish. I feel sick just watching this!

[@MM33003]

This was hard to watch, had the winning school right in front of him and ran out of time, I can’t imagine what Chris was thinking after the weigh-in.

[@myYOLOtek]

Awesome video! Chris is the man. #AlwaysBeRecording

[@traetonholt9836]

Not sure how it works with the wear and tear from the bigger baits but I use braided split rings for my blade baits, helps take away leverage from the fish so they can’t throw the bait. Might work with the flutter spoon not sure tho😂

[@G30vang]

So devastating!!!

[@flippindocks8183]

Where can you buy that spoon? Link?

[@jrbz88]

Give CZ a ton of credit, there's not alot of guys that will stop to give a group of kids autographs after lamenting possibly losing a $100,000 tournament. I know it's not always easy to see in the moment but some things in life are bigger that dollar signs.

[@HellaBass]

Zaldain is one of the most likeable anglers on tour, but when it's not your time its just not your time

[@rangerbull]

Heartbreak

[@camo_lb7252]

Closest tournament I’ve ever seen

[@flippindocks8183]

Can someone tell me what rod he was spooning with?

[@joekuhl3500]

What swimbait is he throwing??

[@chuckchucky8781]

That’s a spoon, dude. Lmao

[@aarondixon5798]

when my wife expecting me home.

[@maddbasser420]

8:33 kids hat would’ve been full 🤮 lmao!

[@kennytesta9312]

Can they not curse?

[@jimmyjackson2361]

Guess he didn’t ran up on top of some locals fishing a spot that day, and act like an asshole. Or did he?🤔

[@JustinGrayFishing]

Make my stomach sick Chris! I wanted to puke for you man.
