TAHLEQUAH, Okla. — Channeling his Southern California finesse-fishing roots, Chris Zaldain established a replicable pattern Friday and moved into the lead of the Cherokee Casino Tahlequah Bassmaster Elite at Lake Tenkiller with a two-day total of 25 pounds.

After placing 13th on Day 1 with 11-1, Zaldain, who now lives in Fort Worth, Texas, added 13-15 during Friday’s second round. His bag included four smallmouth bass — including a 3 1/2-pounder — and one spotted bass.

“I figured something out this morning; it was bang, bang, bang,” Zaldain said. “I stayed in one area until about 10 o’clock, and I learned a lot about what the fish were doing. I’d keep going back and forth on a stretch, and I learned a lot about how they move up and move down.

“After 10 o’clock, I started expanding. I got out of that area and I started looking for new stuff, and I caught two big smallmouth.”
