They gonna get their asses whipped I'd imagine.



Marshall County District Attorney Steve Marshall told WHNT Gary Minor, Jr. of Albertville and Robert Gillaspie of Boaz are charged with tampering with sport contest, a misdemeanor. They were booked into the Marshall County Jail Thursday and later released on bond.

Wired2fish.com reports authorities were tipped off the men were using previously caught bass to dupe competitors. Sources say authorities caught them in the act in a sting operation Thursday.

You have to be a sorry arse person to cheat to win a fishing tournament.

Yep. If they're smart, they won't be fishing that lake or any others anytime soon. They may end up floaters.

Here's another article on it.

quote:

authorities received a tip that the duo had been holding bass in a pen at a dock and using the previously captured fish to dupe competitors in local evening jackpot bass fishing tournaments on Lake Guntersville in Alabama.

Sources say authorities setup a sting operation Thursday to watch the dock in question and caught the duo in the act and made the arrests. Apparently reports have confirmed that the duo was actually using aquariums to pen up bass to later be used for weigh-ins in jackpots

Those guys got those shirts for free. Basswhacker is not affiliated with them in anyway. Thought that needed to be said.

Who just happens to wear a t-shirt for a guide service? Both of them wearing them at that..

I'm not buying that they are not affiliated..

The two guys are contractors and started buddy'ing up to the guide. The guide hired them for different jobs- concrete, etc.

They asked for shirts, and the guide (I wish I could remember his name) gave them to them.

The rest of the story and interview with the guide are somewhere on the web. I read it a few days ago.

Fish on two separate years were caught on the day they said and from the right location....

Both times they didn't use the right method based on the rules......
