Why aren’t they coming back to Falcon? I was there the four full days of the 2008 tournament, and I know the anglers at the tournament were begging for Zapata to bring them back. Maybe Zapata didn’t have the funds. Or was it because they didn’t get invited back because of all the dead bass left in the tournament’s wake? Just curious if anyone knows why they aren’t coming back to Falcon.
