Ish/Poche altercation

Post by JWR075 » Fri Jan 16, 2015 10:04 am

Wonder if both will be banned like others have for verbal altercations?

Also wonder which one got the WWE sponsor and which one got the TNA sponsor.

Last guys who got into a fight, a year or so back, one got banned for a year. There was a racial epithet involved.

It is a shame that guys who get paid to fish act like this.

Poche must have really got messed up to press charges. Ish must have took his man card in the process and really embarrassed Poche. I don't condone fighting over stupid sh!t. But why did Poche press charges? Did he have to go to the hospital? There must have already been beef between the two to fight over an accident.

Read the Pocfhe had to get checked out by medical due to injuried hip. Also lost a complete day of fishing ending his tournaments hopes.

What a shame.

After reading both of the statements on wired2fish, it seems calling the authorities was suggested by some tournament personnel. I met Keith this past November hunting in Alabama with my brother near Union Springs, and he's a nice guy. It's disappointing to see this being the reason his name is in the headlines.

I've also loved watching Ish fish for several years, and can't imagine a professional like him going off the rails and taking things to a physical level like this.

Hopefully they can both learn from it, let bygones be bygones, and avoid anything like this in the future.
