Keith Poche leads after one day of fishing at the 2012 Bassmaster Classic. Seigo Saito photo courtesy of B.A.S.S.I won't bother spitting back the Day 1 Bassmaster Classic results. Plenty of fishing media sources are already doing a good job of that, and most are on-site and can be timely with the stories. That said, the Classic turned out to be a fairly big part of my day yesterday.
Because I've fished with many of the competitors and work with many other industry folks who are part of the event, it holds a lot of interest to me. I logged on to the Classic Live Blog early the day, and watched it on and off throughout the day. The Live Blog is an ongoing report from numerous writers who are out on the water, watching the competitors fish, and it paints a great picture of the river conditions, the bite, the crowding, the anglers' attitudes and much more. I also kept an eye on BassTrakk, which is a running "scorecard" based on observers' estimates and enjoyed watching the live weigh-in yesterday evening.
It was fun to see the humility of the Day 1 leader, Keith Poche, and his genuine thrill about simply getting to compete in his first Bassmaster Classic and getting to do so an hour or so from where he grew up.
I'll be busy in the yard and doing stuff around the house today, but I'll definitely have the same windows open on my computer and will be peeking at them through the day.
