There’s a loooong way to go yet, but Keith Poche, in his first-ever Bassmaster Classic, is sitting atop the leader board….just barely…after day 1 of the event, which is being held in his home state of Louisiana.
Poche weighed in five bass for a total of 17 pounds, 13 ounces, just edging out Greg Vinson, of Wetumpka, AL, who had 17 pounds, 12 ounces. There’s obviously a lot more fishing yet to come in the Classic, so we’ll have to wait and see if Poche’s local knowledge can see him to victory.
Other notables on the leader board include: Edwin Evers in 8th place (16-3); Aaron Martens in 14th (13-14); Alton Jones in 16th (13-13); Kevin VanDam in 27th (11-0) and Michael Iaconelli in 31st (10-7).
