Serious Controversy in Pro fishing tournament as multiple-time winners caught cheating

Even without the cheating the idea of a fishing "tournament" is completely retarded.

I love to fish too, it's just not a competitive venture, at least not the type of you can neatly score in any sort of meaningful way.

How is gutting the fish to check for weights not commonplace already? And stuffing fish meat down a fish’s throat to add weight is some Dante level of hell shite

Honest question, how do you become a Pro Fishermen?

Do you have to be on Deadliest Catch or is standing on the shore with a Pabts Blue Ribbon make the cut?

I think one comedian said, "anything you can do while nodding off, isn't a sport. Its called providing. In a lazy way."

You know what that makes sense.

Poker players started setting up tournaments... Now we're Pros. Not just degenerate gamblers.

Fishermen said, we can be Pros too. Lets set up tournaments too, to see who can eat better!

So we had chess cheating, then poker cheating, now fishing cheating.

Bowling cheating - the USBC has been going after Storm (manufacturer) this year over coverstock outside of legal parameters for sanctioned competition.

I’m surprised a fish would live long enough to make it to the weigh in after being stuffed with weights and fish meat

Cheating is not a new thing in our sport. It has happened before and it will happen again. Anytime the purse gets as high as it does, there will be cheating

We have done multiple things to help with the cheating and the system in the pro circuits these days really makes it hard. But in these local weekend events, it happens.

I have taken numerous lie detector tests for big wins over the years. That is one way the local events can try to work against the cheating.

But we did have a guy who beat the pro system for a couple years and eventually got caught. Just look up Tony Christian out of Hull Georgia. He won almost a million dollars on his own and won one of the hardest events ever by cheating. The All American


It happens
