Randy you are so right on with this. I saw a video that Keith put out and it's really a shame that somebody tried to screw him by putting rocks in front of that little creek. I'm so glad he's still came off with a win. Stuff like this makes me not even want to fish the bass tournament because guys are such sore losers.
His win is awesome!
Saw video of Keith getting into his spot, powered over small bar and push poled his way in. Completely legit and congratulations to him.
@@TheFishdoctor1952 is wired to fish
@@TheFishdoctor1952 wired to fish. Had it, RUclips, and Keith poche Twitter also I bet
Keith is a hammer. Love his “off the grid” channel. Whoever put rocks there is a chump.
That’s putting it nicely, I would yes a different term!
the Boys who did that must eat a lot of soy. their estrogen level is out of hand.
The one who put rocks there should be DQ the rest of the season that's creating a hazard.
@@185vsranger2 no should be black balled from all tournaments for life that’s attempted murder I hunt on the red river and some spots you can get to to catch good fish you have to be running balls out and blindly shoot the mouth to get in or you not getting in and in a glass boat you aren’t getting at all to wide and way to much draft on the hull so if he where running in or out like them spots and someone dun that it would kill the man then the old man that has run that river there hole life run in going fishing or hunting teal season and get killed over some you know what pice off a hole lot more but kids my read this comment but you understand 🤙🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Sir, can I recommend a grammar or spelling class? I'm sure they got plenty on RUclips. Good Lord, wtf did I just read?
I can’t imagine another contestant blocking his access. Needs to be investigated and if they find them banned from ever fishing another BASS tournament.
Amen to that
Was watching a podcast on RUclips where he was the guest. He said he had a name and it was an angler that did not make the cut but the investigation was on going.
That's bs. I'm a shallow water swimbait fisherman. I fish a 89 tracker. Randy is my hero cause I show up and ppl laugh and I catch sometimes. No graphs, just me and reading the water and maps and research. Hard knocks.
So someone knew where Keith was fishing, couldn’t get their giant fiberglass boat back there, then put rocks in Keith’s path to obstruct Keith from getting back there?
Been waiting for this one! More straight fire from Randy!!!! It seems to me like he old school way of being creative and putting in serious sweat equity is lost on guys in 2022. Keith is a new favorite for me.
I like fishing shallow and have gotten in hard to access areas. I saw Kieths video on how he got in and would rate that pond as a moderate difficulty. Kieth is the best thing that’s happened to bass fishing for a while. Lots of guys that felt they were getting priced out of the sport have new hope. Saved some guy about 75K on his next boat too!
Keith used that little boat in ALL opens, even on the really big lakes. You never hear people angry when guys show up to the lakes up north in walleye boats to give themselves an advantage. Keith is awesome!
First off, Congratulations Keith Poche for taking this win and thank you Randy for your videos and your support of this style of fishing. I stopped fishing tournaments years ago but I can remember back in 1997 as a member of the Bucketmouth Bassmasters on Clarks Hill Lake, out of a 12 tournament year I won 8 of them out of a Tracker Pro 17 with a 40 Evinrude, I got angler of the year and big bass for that year. I went to our year end banquet and after they reluctantly presented me with my trophies and what I barely call accolades, I quit the club that night in front of everyone. The club was full of wannabe's that had bigger, faster, better boats but they couldn't catch a fish to save their lives, they couldn't stand me beating them using just raw talent and intuition.
I don't claim to be very good myself, but I've fished with guys who easily have more basic talent than 80% of the pros out there. Pro bass fishing and tournaments are the worst thing that's happened to bass fishing. It's driven the small, basic boat companies out of the business and you're left with high and super high and ultra-high performance rigs. I've seen rigs where the electronics alone cost more than my boat. Heck I've even starting to see some kayak rigs hitting $7 to $10K, with most of that electronics.
Congrats to Keith, need more just like him to level this field. It’s why I’m a John Cox fan as well
Keith and Cox are the true lions of the sport. The KVD's and Wheelers are the puppets of the tech fishing industry. The difference is Cox/Poche have ACTUAL BALLS and the others don't. Pure talent and hard work
Although KVD won a ton before all the crap we watch now
Jacob can catch them no matter what. Take away all electronics and he would still be up at the top. The guy is a true talent. I love cox’s style as well. You get to that level you have to be well rounded
This is probably the most uncontroversial video you have ever made! This is spot on and there is no argument against it. Spot on!!!
Absolutely agree with all of this. Keith killed it. He fishes like I do! Jon boats and shallow water. Find the biggins. To heck with the jealous rich babies who wish they could win with their computer robots.
Dude is a badass no doubt. I remember seeing him in that boat on the James open first morning and blew my mind. He came in second here
Well said Randy. I really like the direction you and Matt are taking your channels.
I wondered when your video about this was coming! I’m glad you did it😊
I couldn't agree more! Great job Keith!!
Thanks for making this video to bring up these issues. That is awesome Keith kicked .... in the tournament with a 90 horse aluminum boat. I fished from a 17 foot aluminum 90 horse for 35 years till the motor died. Its awesome to have someone beat those with a fancy boat all decked out with the latest equipment. I totally agree with everything you said Randy. You produce the most awesome videos. Keep em coming i know your knowledge will help me win some bass tournaments.
Mark Menendez done the same thing in Arkansas. Won an elite event out of a G3 and 90hp Yamaha. Immediately brought on a rule change. Rick Clunn was gonna fish an elite out of a tracker v18 but was shut down by the rule change. It would mean a lot to young guys on a tight budget to see more guys like John Cox and Kieth Poche out there doin it by just being tough on the water without the extra equipment.
The aluminum boat john cox runs ain't a budget boat
@@bobhart7480 I know that buddy. But it ain't a flag ship fiberglass rig either. He fished all year without any electronics on a crestliner just to do it. He's my kinda dude.
John's boat is a 150+ hp

Thank you !!
I've fished against you on the top 150s and opens . I actually had a flasher on my Ranger. Because I at least could see a red line or not run aground if my gps or 5 inch Lowrance. went down .
This is the same type of info I shared on a
People hate others for finding fish. I'm happy to say I just need a depth finder. I know the rest will happen Cliff congrats
Crochet you are awesome
Randy come down to lake Ivie Texas
Glad you brought this up.
Congratulations to Keith, agree a100% on what you had ti say. Thanks for sharing.
Amen 100% agree with Randy.Sadly Kayak fishing is getting just as Tech dominated.It takes the fun and sport out of it for us guys that just wannafish.
Happy for Keith and thank you for standing up for him.
Good commentary Randy. It is a shame someone tried to keep him out of that area. Very poor sportsmanship on those people.
Love that you’re backing the aluminum boat community in this video! I’m a Bass Tracker tx17 guy
Well said Randy. I’m Danny Whaley, met you yrs ago in Bass when you we’re wet behind the ears. I’m bow hunting in Colo at the moment, good luck on the trail.
Congrats to Kieth. I agree with you Randy. I just finished fishing the FLW Semi National Tournament between Ohio and Michigan on Lake Erie out of Sandusky Bay. As a co-angler I seen firsthand the use of forward-facing sonar and how it can affect the co-angler catch ratio. I have fished bass tournament for nearly 50 years and at this point in my life I am ready to throw in the towel as I could never afford the electronics of today. Now we have to deal with Aqua View. really. I am ready to start eating bass instead of releasing them. Just my thoughts.
Agree 100%. I would love to see him go I through the classic Colosseum in that boat of his. Good for him! I have a 19 5 tracker and absolutely love my aluminum boat. Thanks Randy.
Congrats to Keith, Randy I am 100% with you on this one!
Preach! Agreed...anyone who actively blocked his access should be kicked out for good.
Reminds me of them banning air boats on douglas lake in TN. Cause guys was crying they couldn’t get their $100k rigs up the French broad or pigeon river. I love it. Chalk one up for the little guy.
Amen Randy. Thank you for speaking out.
Randy good for you for sticking up. I don't even know Keith but I know he posted video I think on Instagram how he got back into that spot and he never left his boat.
You're spot on Randy, glad you did a video on this. The live scope pansies need to get a grip.
We had a local tournament last weekend and they guy that came in second fished all day out of one of those plastic bass buster boats with nothing but a trolling motor. I’m not even sure he had a fish finder on it.
That is awesome!!!!
I’m a kayak fisherman for the most part these days and the ability to fish a lot of those hard to get places is one of the best things for us. There’s even yaks that spend a ton on those electronics and I’m like have fun with that I’ll just keep fishing my way. I love how Keith fishes and it’s good to see guys not staring at screens all day, good stuff!
I'm 40. I started fishing about 9 months ago. I have basically been in a bubble about a lot of stuff due being so new to the sport. It has been an incredible journey so far. This type of thing blows my mind. I've been walking through spiderwebs, thorns, brush, mud, woods etc to find spots to fish every week for the last 9 months. No boat or electronics. Heck, I started on a 5ft 6 antique wonderod with a Mitchell 300 that I inherited, and caught all my fish on that setup for a while. I can't hardly believe that tournament rules are so restricted for accessing more tight spots. That would be my first move if I was to ever be on a big body of water. So weird. I'm just now learning of Poche, and I'm immediately a fan. Respect all the way.
He fished the opens out of that same boat all year too. Much respect to Keith!
Great video with many great comments!! Congrats to Keith Poche!
Years ago a fisherman in a BASS tournament wanted to get into an area that was blocked by a causeway and high water. He contacted Ranger Boats for advice. They told him to remove the windshields from the boat, pull the plug and fill it with water, drive under the causeway replace the plug and turn on the bilge. He won the tournament, I believe it was Shuffield, but I may be wrong.
I don't remember the fisherman's name, but I sure remember that incident. He had water up to about 2" of the gunwales both inside and outside the boat
That was Randy
This is a great video...I fish an old Lund 1625 clasic with a 30 merc. on Norris lake Tn.
I love our local tourneys when I'm fishin against $80k boats and place or win!
Keith did a lot of work to get that boat how he’d like it for tournaments. Good on him for taking the tourney 🎉
Thanks for you comments regarding Keith. Couldn’t agree with you more!
MrRandy , you nailed this one , Keith is a fisherman who thinks out the box , he reminds me of you , I remember you running wide open , through a narly ditch , we love Keith too
Totally agree Randy! I run tournaments on the Sabine - Neches River syste and my rule is if you can float into it and it's public water = legal. Been Keith's marshal twice and he's a great guy.
Great take! Let’s get back to the old school!
Thanks! Awesome dude and Amen!!!
Amen I've been with you on this one since you started your channel if live scope is going to be allowed as a tool and tournaments then they ought to start letting guys carry extra fuel and Boulder boats over sandbars etc etc in my opinion Keith didn't do anything wrong he was fishing the Red River so what's the big deal because he was in an aluminum boat with a 90 horsepower motor and beat the guys in the 21 footers with tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment on board that's the only problem and the only reason why these people are bitching. By the way I wanted to let you know Randy me and my partner won the USA bass in Kansas regional state championship this year and we qualified for the national tournament on lake Pickwick next spring thanks for all your help and thanks for all the teaching you've done on the channel you've made me a better bass fisherman by far.
Absolutely, right on point Randy. Everybody is trying to leap ahead of their competition by advancing the electronics and technology in their boats. So when a guy reverses that and uses his cunning and ingenuity, THEY are the ones who complain? NO WAY. I fished an Eastern Divisional on the Conn River in '90 from Hartford. I was the only boat out of the 200 or so that drove north, around shoals, wing dams, and shallow flats to fish 11 miles north on my Skeeter Starfire. A couple years later Roland did it with a jet outboard and guys got pissed. That's all a great part of fishing, the innovation and ingenuity. They may as well assign everyone the same lures, line, rods, and reels then, so the playing field is "even".
Thanks Randy, awesome content and you spot on with this one! Where can I go to see Keith's setup? I'm truly interested in his boat, I run an aluminum and got into your videos when you were running that P198(like I am).
100% spot on we need more wins like that , thats why it was one of the best wins , he did it old school . heck ya brother
I remember way back in the early eighties when you sunk your ranger pump that pumped it full of water to get under a bridge to access a backwater area I still remember that Randy it was awesome
He's one of my favorite guys on tour, the way that he's not afraid to tear things up to get to untouched water never ceases to amaze me. You should watch his RUclips channel, he will put a boat through the paces!! If you ask me that's the way fishing should be, when there is no trail, blazer
Your own!
Randy it is good to see Poche win this this way, I dont even watch the live scope events on TV anymore !
THANK YOU RANDY!!!! 100% Agreee with you!!! I've never really followed Keith.....but I will now!!!!
I'm with you on this one Randy. Keith had a great victory. More power to him!
Great vídeo Randy! I agree 100% with you!
Agree 1000%. Couldn’t have said it any better. We need to get back to what bass fishing should really be about.
You're an awesome ambassador of the sport I hope the folks making the rules can take heed to what you are saying...
I seem to remember you taking your boat apart, and pulling the drain plug, to get under a bridge on Buggs Island Lake some years ago, or was that someone else Randy? Won the tournament if I remember correctly. Man, that was AWESOME, whoever did it.
I can remember years ago part of my tournament gear was 2 extra gas tanks a chainsaw and a come-a-long
Well said Mr. Randy!! 👏 Awesome to see hard work paying off! Kinda like App. St. Taking down A&M! N
It's not the size of the dog in the fight, which would be money, it's the size of the fight in the dog, which would be work ethic!
You go Brother!! Yes congratulations!!!
Cool video in the mobile office Randy!!!🤓cool hat!!!
Great jod Keith, great fishing, I remember the days in my almu.boat, before I got my skeeter/ great job
THANK YOU RANDY !!!!! I 100 percent AGREE with everything you say.
I've seen Keith's boat at this year's Bassmaster Open on the Ross Barnett Reservoir. It's a cool boat. It's the only brand of aluminum boat, Andy at Team Marine, likes as a Bassboat. I believe we'll see more Gatortrax boats on the circuits... Thank you for sharing Randy 🍺🎣
100% agree with you on this Randy. Well said and congrats to Keith
With or without electronics your top fisherman will keep winning they are gifted and change any rule you want and watch them still win it’s the same in any sport it’s a God given talent
The boat he has now is a newer one made by gatortraxx I believe its not the same off the Grid boat he was using(similar in size), I may be wrong but he's a hammer and I am glad too see him in the classic and getting invited to the Elites, let the haters hate. He will do a lot better in the elites he's a 5 big bite kinda guy.
Ragweed and goldenrod kill me this time of year too, Randy. Our first frost is coming tonite in WI so hopefully I get some relief lol. I could never buy a big finerglass bass boat, such a limit to where I could catch fish lol
I love guys like you John Cox, and Keith Poche’ !
Fantastic Win. You are absolutely right on! I have done the same thing over beaver dams . And it’s not necessarily a wining strategy!
Randy couldn’t agree more! Can have 16” screens mounted on pedestal with livescope. But can’t access remote areas. Come on man. Congratulations Posche for the win!
Heck yeah. Im proud for Keith. He is one that still loves real fishin and its became a thing of the past like you said due to people with money. I love fishin. Its all i do when im not at work. Working class men can relate to his his win. Most of us have families and cant afford an extra 20-30 grand for forward facing sonar and video game equipment. Its kinda turned me away from watching MLF and BASS everytime I turn it on somebody has their head down watching a screen. Thats not fishin
Love your take on this Randy. Glad to see it actually. That is the part about fishing tournaments at any level that turns me off. When money is involved, the jealousy come out in full force. It is disgusting actually.
I remember you at the Mobile Delta event going way back where not many folks go.
One of my favorite stories was the one where you and I believe Ken Cook dug out the canal to access then had to line the boat up and run full bore.
Gary Klein
Couldn’t agree more. Love fishing the BFL tournaments as a non- boater. Probably done. I can see myself drawing a guy in March and he is in the mouth of a cove using live scope and I have almost no chance of catching a fish.
Randy aint lying i remember back in the 90s on the walmart flw here in Greenville Ms he went back in a shallow creek i could have driven a 4 wheeler through but not a boat but he did though ,you have to applaud guys who take chances off the beaten trail .👍
Always love your opinion Randy don't always agree with it but I still love it and appreciate it,.., could not agree with your opinion more
Yes!!!! Thanks for having the back of a fellow Alabama boy!
These kind of things is why I got out of tournaments. There was so many times I saw blatant violations and they were dismissed due to some bs reason. Then when I broke down just outside of the no wake zone where weight in was I overheard a competitor yell if anyone helps me to get to weigh in in time they'd be disqualified. Then when I made it I had first place with all the penalties and that jerk still tried to disqualify me & protested. I left & never looked back.
Wow. You never leave a stranded boat, Never. Pitiful.
Great video! What about jet drive outboards? Are u guys ok if they would be legal on bass tours?
I remember when Roland Martin. Won a tournament. Because he had a jet boat. And no one else could get where he was. People threw a fit about that to. I agree 100% with randy.
I agree 100% level the playing field. Fantastic Rant of the day, I agree livescope fishing isn’t real fishing. It’s more like catching. I just bought a new boat. I had them take that stuff all of it, I want to fish my way. I’m not much in video games. I’d rather go fishing my way and not catching theres.
Great video!!
Thanks Randy!!!
Amen Randy . The old school way is what he employed. Great video
I whole-heartily agree with you sir. Nothing wrong with fishing shallow...I am a bank fisherman and enjoy any day I get out. Take care.
100% correct on this one Randy!! Seems some have forgotten what REAL bass fishing is! You should do a vid on all the Roland Rules , I’m sure people would be shocked how rules were changed just because Roland used to push the envelope!!!
I want to hear more about jumping sandbars Randy. That would be a very interesting video to say the least.
Way to go Keith.
🎉🎊 CONGRATS 🎊🎉
Randy I don't agree with everything you say but I 100% agree with this. As long as your not doing anything illegal it should be allowed.
So true Randy. Everyone needs to quit hating. Keith Poche used the equipment he needed to win. All legal.
THANK YOU!!
Great view randy
I like this rant. This is a good rant.
RANDY THERE IS POWERS IN NUMBERS and spreading the info will hopefully open people's eyes (maybe the honest ones will back guys like you, kieth ,and OTHER REAL FISHERMAN
Hey Randy. It seems I remember about 30 or so ago years ago in a BASS tournament that one of the contestants took a chain saw to cut limbs and logs to get get back into an area to fish and no one complained about that. I think the Poulan chain saw sales went up after that.
Edwin Evers took a chainsaw in 2018 to win the first MLF redcrest. No one said a word about it.
Totally agree, if it isn’t unsafe or taking from someone else, what’s the problem?
Great comments. Agree 100% with everything you said.
Amen!!! Well said Randy!!!
