Spiel Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnsled Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joonmoon Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jace Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share 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 Share 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!

charlesn Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rombo Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushart Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
