BFL angler stabbed to death after tournament

[Sore Thumbs]

Nephew of Keith Poche. Sad to hear. I need to get my concealed carry license after hearing about these boat ramp incidents.

It's pretty sad when boat ramps and hotel/motels are now the target of theft and violence to a degree that was unheard of until recently. Maybe not the thievery part, as that has been easy pickens for a while, but the violence part. This is the 3rd death that I am aware of relating to bass fisherman within the last 6 months or so. The one tournament angler killed at a motel after catching the thief red handed stealing his gear out of his boat. The man on Kentucky Lake (I believe) shot dead at a ramp and now this. Unreal.

This is so sad.  This type of violence just reflects the way certain members of our society value a human life.  What a tragedy.  I will keep the Poche family in our prayers.

Moderators,  if you deem this unacceptable and want/need to delete this, I understand.  Thank you, in advance, to everyone for letting me vent.

I hope the person responsible for this get strung up with fish hooks.  There is no reason for this to have happened.   People have no respect for human life.  Nor do they have respect for what the working/retired person has.  They will steal anything and everything.  If you happen to be close by the will kill you and not think a thing about it.  I hope I don't catch someone stealing from my boat,  they will wish they would have died when I get done with them.

 I will not make any comments on guns as I don't want to start a big argument over it.  But I do own some and will use them.

I will keep the Poche family in my prayers.

God Bless Dylan Poche.

Was it a case of an attempted theft or was it a shouting match that got out of control? In the links I've read I haven't seen any details surrounding the sad event of the stabbing.

IMHO, A knife usually indicates an argument, not a robbery. But you never know.

Some poor ramp etiquette and someone with a short fuse ?

The stabbing appears to have nothing to do with the tournament, which was held on Toledo Bend. Sibley Lake is a 1,000-acre water supply for the city of Natchitoches. Given the time of night, it might be a teen hangout.

I'd bet you are right Champ- 18 year old white kid just arrested for it-

It is a tragedy for sure.
