PRESS RELEASE
The
format for the Bassmaster Elite at Bull Shoals/Norfork is one of the more
complex in the trail’s 11-year history.
A
full field of 108 Elite Series anglers began on Norfork Lake Thursday and moved
to Bull Shoals Lake for Friday’s second round. The remaining Top 50 will fish
Bull Shoals again Saturday, with the final Top 12 moving back to Norfork for
Sunday’s final round.

As
if that wasn’t exciting enough, there are now two anglers deadlocked atop the
leaderboard.
Chris
Zaldain of San Jose, Calif., and Bill Lowen off Brookville, Ind., have each
caught 30 pounds, 14 ounces — and though they took different paths to get there,
they will share the lead as the unique tournament heads into the semifinals.
