He finished 4th in his group on the BPT yesterday. Assuming he is bolting and heading to the classic. They have to be present for the official meeting and practice day tomorrow I believe?

interesting question. Why did he even fish the first two days at Douglas?

I dont think he thought this through
Why would I fish for $100K when I could fish for $300K?
If he doesn't fish tomorrow he will be fined a significant amount of money. At least that is what they were going to do to Birge last year.Quote:

He's guaranteed $10K for making the knockout round.
I get the same impression. When he first went on BTL and said he would fish both, Matt pointed out the MANY conflicts and Poche acted like he had just heard about them for the first time. And since he missed an Elite event, he probably won’t qualify for the classic and if he leaves a BPT event when he should still be fishing, he’ll supposedly get fined or worse. I just don’t see if working out financially unless his sponsors are ponying up the money and hoping the added coverage and “drama” around the thing will increase their brands.Quote:

I got a good laugh out of that BTL appearance. He kind of defiantly said, "I'm fishing both" and when Matt pointed out the obvious conflicts he seemed sort of blindsided :laugh:Quote:

plus he doesn’t have any practice time.
This is the most likely scenario, bunch of assclowns run that mess.Quote:

The fact they actively schedule on top of opens and other tours then come up with rediculous consequences for missing days is some grade A bs.
Just here for the comments........
Which there have been some really goods ones already!
I still say the simple answer is he just drives over to the meeting when he's done fishing tomorrow. It's not like he's that far away.
Same just for making the Classic. I guess he wanted 20k instead of just 10k.Quote:

Hell the classic doesn't even start until the 24th. This tournament will be over on the 23rd? Not sure what the issues here are? Hell.. maybe he'll win them both.
Lets not let the facts get in the way of a good MLF rant though
He’s already registered fish knockout round tomorrow do poorly collect 10 grand and head for the classic expenses paid. Lol
I just looked through those registration pictures and didn't see him. Maybe I missed it...Quote:

Technically, if he launches and goes through takeoff then trailers his boat, did he fish? Asking for a friend.

Launch & start BPT, fake equip failure, (or actually break something) pull out early, go register for Classic. PASS GO ! COLLECT 20 GRAND !!! Easy, peasy !!! :roll:
