1) it's hot AF outside and not enjoyable 2) they head deep to seek the cooler water and that makes them harder to access 3) they come up at dawn and dusk, but who wants to get up at dawn? Fish are catchable in any season, but some times are much more enjoyable than others |

Check this shit out. Busted for shoving 8 pounds of led balls down his catch to win tournament.

A couple of scumbag, cheating, low down, piece of shit mother****ers.
I'm surprised they were even allowed in the tournament considering one of the failed polygraph for a tourny and disqualified in 2021. |

This really blew up on social media. Tiktok even blew it up in a non fishing type of trend and a lot of people who know nothing about fishing tournaments got exposed to the bad side of the sport.
There are several other social media pictures where, with hindsight, you can clearly see odd lumps in the bellies of other fish they claimed unusually heavy weights on. |

From the size of those fish it looks like they may have had enough to win anyways.
There's a bunch of pissed off mofos who been taking 2cnd place to those two. That's a helluva a lot of money to get cheated out of. |

That's what I thought. They weighed 33 pounds with the 8 pounds of led and the 2nd place was 16 pounds. They ****ed themselves.

Just because they had the fish doesn't mean they caught them that day, or that they even caught them at all. Cheating doesn't have to stop with weights. They could have other people drop fish off to them, catch them days early, etc. You see it in bass tournaments some times where they have bass in a box with a bobber on it and they pull the pre-caught bass out.

Those turds apparently also won six other recent tourneys, almost certainly using the same methods
You'd think it would be easier to spot, you pick up an obvious three pounder that feels more like five? |

Why they don't run a metal detector across all the fish baskets is beyond me.

At first blush that seems terribly obvious. The problem is reality. Fish eat all sorts of things, and it's not that unusual to find old hooks/metal beads/etc. inside a fish's guts. And also I think a big party of it is just that fishing tournaments to a large extent operate on the honor system. At least they used to 30 years ago when I used to enter them. |

If there's anything I hate, it's people that don't follow the rules. Rules were made to be followed.
