Poe spent the next fifteen years competitively fishing the SKA Pro Tour. His team: "Kill-n-me" earned several top-ten finishes along the way and won second place in the SKA National Championship in 2006. Poe's fished Wahoo, Dolphin, Sailfish, Marlin, Swordfish and multiple species of bottom fish from the waters of Southern Florida to the Bahamas. Capt.
