It’s hard to miss Zac “Yeti” Yarbrough, he’s a 6-foot, 5-inch former lineman for the University of Virginia. He’s got a big beard, bright eyes and an electric smile. Whether he is fishing a tournament or standing in the TSA line at the airport, Zac always seems to have a smile on his face. But for the past four years, Zac has been battling male breast cancer. He’s been very open about his journey, and he hasn’t let it get in the way of his fishing adventures. When he’s not in the chemo chair, Zac is fishing the blue water for billfish and wahoo, or jumping on a plane to his next adventure. For Zac, there are No Bad Days. It’s an inspiring mantra — one we should all work toward.
