Experience, get ready to meet raw ambition.
Keith Poche, a Bassmaster Elite Series sophomore seeking his first Bassmaster win, plans to give Alabama Charge leader and veteran pro Davy Hite something to sweat about in Saturday's Pickwick Lake finale.
Hite, the two-time Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year and 1999 Bassmaster Classic champ from South Carolina, is just as determined to claim his eighth Bassmaster win, which would be his first since a 2006 Elite victory in Georgia.
Adding another layer to the contest, the leaders plan to continue sharing water below Wilson Dam. They have been fishing within sight of each other and often within a cast of each other.
"It'll be a shootout," Hite said.
Asked if he believed Poche might feel intimidated by his experience in the sport, Hite answered, "I hope so."
"When I was in his shoes, before I won a tournament, if I was fishing around somebody who'd won quite a few, yea, I'd be a little intimidated," Hite said. "I'm not going to do anything wrong, but you do what you've got to do to win. I might yell a little bit or something like that when I catch a big one."
