agree. Let’s just all enjoy the fact we get to see a lot of fishing. American League, national league, NFL, XFL. A lot of sports have adaptations.

Win that tourny, he gets a good check. Win the BMC, he makes his career for the rest of his life.

What if he had a dr's excuse for diarrhea? I would think that would suffice, you don't mess with people's health, they can sue JDjr style. Nobody ever questions diarrhea either. They may question a "stomach bug" but diarrhea........, never.

from reading through the posts, it looks like he could win both

Don't know anything concrete and don't matter to me either way. But just to clarify this is a regular BPT season tournament that he paid a entry to. The deal with Zack was a special no entry fee qualified event...Heavy Hitters.... Not exactly comparing apples to apples there. I hope he wishes both and does good in both just to play with everybody's mind.

I say he tanks today so he doesn't move on in BPT and then heads to the classic. He gets a check and no trouble caused. They passed him right up for a camera boat.Attachment 517734

yea i don't see the issue. Knowville is under an hour from Knowxville. I am sure he can just fish BPT drive to the classic meeting, heck maybe he is fishing BPT and then going over to knowxville to practice afterwards?

I wonder if that's just due to his boat being tiny and no room for a camera man and all his equipment.

If it is you got to think the sponsors don't just love that.

LOL, yeah this could go for 30 pages. We sure can go on about trivial stuff.

Maybe he can get "The Boss" to fill in for him at BPT. He is pretty good at assuming multiple identities.

:roll::roll: With as many "Mother Hens" as Mr Poche has hovering over and constantly worrying about him on the BBC 30 Pages is certainly a possibility.

he just showed up on score tracker, so he is fishing today

He is a nice boy, just the type "Mother Hens" like to hover over. :laugh:

Ok.. Now I'm pulling for Poche at both events. That would be an epic week.

So, he's going to fish the classic without practicing? If anyone can do it, he can. But, YIKES.

He's in his off the grid boat.... How do we know he's not practicing for the Classic also? :roll:

I don't think practice is going to help anyone much at all. Practice days the temps were in the 20's and 30's. Temps for the tournament are going to be up to the 70's. That's a big change so most guys can probably throw practice out the window.

Funny yesterday Ott made the comment he was probably the only one dumb enough to take his boat so far up river and he lost some fiberglass, but then JT or one of them said "he doesnt know Poche was 10 miles further up river in his little aluminum boat yesterday" lol. Im pulling for him and Ott lol......and I saw him and his official in the boat, I dont know how they could have even put a camera man in the boat.....maybe if the official could have done both is about the only way I could see that happening.

Finish 11th today. Get a check. Drive to the Classic start tomorrow and get a check and make his sponsors happy. Maybe end up On-Em and win the thing. Seems like a plan to me.

He has a camera guy in his boat when he films off the grid. Probably a lot less equipment though.

Does he carry an official with him then too to weigh his fish?

Classic doesn't start until Friday the 24th right? They are 3 day events. They may have other obligations they have to handle at site? .. But he may be able to fish a final day with BPT if he makes it.

I really like watching Poche. This two tour deal he is trying to pull of simply has way too many conflicts to not effect his performance on both tours. Buy totally missing an entire regular season Elite series event he has somewhat made a statement that his priorities are in fishing MLF. If he lays up today in his MLF event and doesn't preform so he can be eliminated to fish the Classic it obviously effects him in MLF. Whatever he chooses I wish him well but I think he should commit to one tour and if he wants to do a side adventure pick something has no conflicts that will impact the primary tour level he is fishing.

He was able to squeeze in all 9 opens last year plus MLF. I think his results were okay.

I think most of these guys have fished the TN river system enough that most of them could still catch fish without any practice and the way conditions are changing right now I don't think it matters.

Sounds like BASS did not make it mandatory to be at the official practice day today or media day tomorrow. If that's the case, he can finish his MLF event without interruption OTHER than driving down to the classic meeting on his off day.
That said, I bet BASS has never dealt with someone wanting to skip out on activities of their "Super Bowl of Bass Fishing." Don't get me started on comparing it to the Super Bowl. Worst marketing idea I've ever heard. Let your event stand on it's own two legs if it's the best/biggest in the fishing game.

I’m sure Poche thought It through everyone. It’s ok.

Really the worst marketing you’ve ever heard?

He's less than a pound away from making the top ten cut. He better slow down or he'll make the cut.:laugh:

Yup, way too much speculation and reading into things that really only Poche knows. I enjoy and respect his style of fishing and thought process of getting away from the crowd; doing things his way in a non-glitter rocket, kinda like John Cox.

I don’t really understand the hang up with terms like “glitter rocket” and when pros are paid to use aluminum boats. It’s not like these are poor man’s Jon boats they are using…every single one of them are strapped with a 250 and cost more than my “glitter rocket”…

But not more than their competitors’ glitter rockets.
