Does Chris Zaldain Have Opinions?

Elite Series pro Chris Zaldain always seems to be in the thick of things. Whether it’s adopting big bait culture, very publicly explaining his reasons for staying with BASS during “The Split,” or starting a must-watch podcast with his wife Trait, he’s never short on opinions. I sat him down at Media Day for the 2025 Classic to ask him about some things that I didn’t think he’d addressed yet.
