According to KTRE, 58-year-old Joe Carl Loftin, Jr. and 23-year-old Tanner Neal have been arrested and charged with third-degree felony fraud after Loftin allegedly attempted to fradulently claim a prize in the BassCashBash tournament in March 2017. Each man’s bail is set at $1,500. Loftin took two polygraph tests and was said to have failed both. According to tournament rules, “all persons, including minors, entering a prize-winning fish or claiming a prize, must agree to submit a polygraph examination.” Texas Parks and Wildlife has been working on this case for months and when TPW official James Barge interviewed him in April, Loftin allegedly admitted that he didn’t actually catch the bass he tried to enter. The affidavit states that Tanner Neal—who was not participating in the tournament—caught the fish and asked if he wanted to submit it and split the prize money. Authorities say that video surveillance from the store in which the fish was submitted proves that the two men were together at the time of the alleged incident.

Should be a lifetime ban from all amateur tournaments correct?

I don't disagree but not based on a polygraph test; if it was me they better bring some damn proof

Pretty standard with the big contests and tournaments, we are usually talking about new boats and thousands of dollars in prize money.
