Fishing Tourney Scandal

**WaterZebra** · 10-09-2022, 09:46 AM

I'm surprised this story hasn't turned up on this site / forum already? Friends of mine who fish for Walleye hire a professional guide every year. This guide knows these two guys who were caught and said they were lucky they weren't lynched and hanging from some tree. You can cheat in gambling, motorsports, sports betting, etc but NEVER fishing! God hep ya if ya do and git caught!

I saw this crap. What a couple of f**k sticks. I agree, those boys are damn lucky that they did not go out of their carrying a severe ass whipping’ that would last the rest of their pathetic lives. There is a little bit of talk about prosecuting them as the laws actually do allow it.

They had 30 lbs of total weight (lead and the fish) on 3 fish, thats what got them bused it sounds like. They were cutting up smaller fish and putting the fillet down the caught fish's throats also per the video! haha. I think this is felony level swindling or some crap!

Even before the charges were filed, I'm betting the series sponsors lined up to drop their endorsements in a heartbeat. The repo guys were also called up to do stuff too. If any of the stuff they had was provided in name by sponsors, the court orders for repossession were probably stacked like cord wood.
