Joe Thomas is one smart cookie. His
Ultimate Match Fishing television show has received rave reviews by anglers across the country. Each Friday night on the Outdoor Channel, some of the best pros go head to head, in a sometimes serious but often times funny battle, on the water. His pairing of the odd couple, Jeff Kriet and Mike McClelland, is shear genius.
A head to head match up in the same boat of these two very unlikely buddies will be one for the ages. There friendship runs deep, but throw all of that out the window in this event. This should be a match of all matches for UMF. McClelland, soft spoken and reserved, and Kriet, a wacky and one of a kind crazy man, will be at each other the entire time. Secrets of the road will no longer be secrets of the road and the winner of this match will have bragging rights infinata.
This will have UMF, WWF and regular Elite Series fishing all in one location.
We can hardly wait to see how it plays out. They meet Wednesday on Lake Pickwick, and the Wired2Fish team thinks there should be a side bet on this match up. If McClelland wins, Kriet has to wash his boat and truck before each Elite Series event, and if Kriet wins McClelland has to do Jeff's laundry for the entire season. Up to it guys?
