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

sick, dude, are you gonna tell us or just say that you know?

Why not just give the official that weighs them a hand held metal detector and wave it over each fish as it’s being weighed??

His brother was some kind of fabricator. They had constructed some very high end fish boxes. These had a collapsible lid that would let a lure be cast into it then they could catch a fish out of the box. The lid on the box would let the fish be pulled out then spring back in to place. They would take these out and strap them to a dock just under the water where you could not see them. They would put fish in them a few days before the event then catch the fish out of them

That level of event is a draw tournament. You draw a different person to be in the boat fishing with you. The guy in the back of your boat is fishing against all the other guys the back of the other boats. One of then noticed that he was constantly throwing in the exact same spot and reported it to the officials which eventually led to him being caught. They went out and found the box, then recorded him using them then next day. He was escorted off at weigh in by the cops

I saw a picture one of the boxes. It was very elaborate. But he won a bunch of money before being caught. Now he is banned for life.

When he won the All American, he had caught the biggest fish of the event which died. The local game and fish did a test on that fish and from what I understood, it was not a strain of bass from that area.

That lines up with what I heard. Give or take a few discrepancies with him having a brother that was a master diver, fish in aquarium on steroids, and the sting operation
