by Mike Ganzeveld •
Friday, April 9th 2010 Hi, WW readers! It’s 5am in Detroit and it’s over for the Chris Burns’ fishing team! None of the three pros nor any of our co-anglers made the top ten cut to fish today for the top prize money. We leave Detroit both sad and glad. Sad we aren’t fishing today…
