Wendel Posted June 25, 2008 Report Posted June 25, 2008 Found this on another board which led to this article. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/sto...PStory/National I don't know what this guy was thinking, he was named angler of the year for his fishing club, wonder if they are going to strip him of his title lol Supposedly all to impress a girl(his wife at that)
lunkerbasshunter Posted June 25, 2008 Report Posted June 25, 2008 what a dumb --- for a 20 pound fish to boot? wow hope people learn from this guy cheers!
kentooley Posted June 25, 2008 Report Posted June 25, 2008 I said this on the other board too. What a knob! :lol: Looks good on him.
Spiel Posted June 25, 2008 Report Posted June 25, 2008 ....As someone who sits on the executive for the "club" that named him "angler of the year" I'd say it's time for some serious club pruning!
glen Posted June 25, 2008 Report Posted June 25, 2008 Putting a one pound weight into a fish has got me lots of girls The theory of evolution is in question at this time.
Roy Posted June 25, 2008 Report Posted June 25, 2008 I guess the Zoomer might have to stop selling the video of a 2006 episode they did with him.
fishnsled Posted June 25, 2008 Report Posted June 25, 2008 What an Wondering when the club will call that "emergency meeting" to deal with this clown. There were a couple of guys in a bass tourney a few years ago that got caught for caging fish. Banished from tournaments forever. This guy should be getting that and ousted from the club from his peers at the very least. As for the legal charges, not sure about jail time or not but several hours of community service with the MNR, lake/river clean up or stocking programs?? Loss of his fishing licence wouldn't be a bad idea as well.
Rich Posted June 25, 2008 Report Posted June 25, 2008 When I read this I was in complete shock. I would have never thought he would do something like that. That's all I'm gonna say.
Gerritt Posted June 25, 2008 Report Posted June 25, 2008 So you know him then Rich? give MoriaMan his address... he wants to kick everyones ass LOL! G
wildeye rainbow Posted June 25, 2008 Report Posted June 25, 2008 he was even featured on a fishing show - move over Henry, we need some more room. WR

joonmoon Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 What a LOOOOOOOSER. Hope he burns bigtime for his STUPIDITY....lol.....hahaha. Good for the organizers to have a second look at that fish.
jace Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 weird that they would catch it. In my opinion, 1# difference in a fish would be very hard to detect by eyeballing it. Salmon weight to length ratios have huge variations, some fish are very thin while others can be very fat, there's even a huge difference between male and female. One pound is the difference between a fish that just ate something and one with an empty stomach. Anyways, in most of the big prize derbies i enter, the fish are always cut open after the official weigh-in so nobody is tempted to try this...not with lead anyways.

Mark Kulik Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 As a tournament angler, cheating is a slap to my face as well as every other angler who puts his time and hard earned money on the line! Good for Andy for dealing with this the way it should be dealt with-the law- fraud is fraud! Impress his wife? give me a brake! shouldve stuffed the weight in his pants!
LeXXington Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 The humiliation is more than enough punishment
charlesn Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 The humiliation is more than enough punishment The problem is, I don't think a cheater has any shame. Humiliation only works on those of us that have a conscience and shame. What a sad sad thing... Charles
Rombo Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 Why not just jam a few minnows into the live well and let the fish gain its own weight. Not that its the right thing to do but how stupid is putting a sinker down its mouth
bushart Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 Impress his wife? give me a brake! shouldve stuffed the weight in his pants! The way this guy was working he'd probably stuff down the back side of his pants
brifishrgy Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 the question is how many times has he got away with it .. what a
