I e got bad news wildcat friend, every fball and basketball team in college has people cheating, even our beloved Wildcats.Many years ago we had two ******** just like these two, whom we caught cheating in one of our local bass tournaments. Simply put, they were "escorted" to their truck by several of the more angry anglers, who made no attempt to hide the fact they were carrying sidearms, and were told in no uncertain terms they were to never show their faces around here ever again.
I despise a damn cheat.
This one may have been worth 45KYou may be being facetious but they’ve won that over years not one tournament from what I read. Not many fishing tournies if any pay 300,000 that I can imagine.
Damon was doing fine by himself. Norton f'd it up for both of them.Boy that looked like it was going to get ugly quick. Reminded me of when Ed Norton and Matt Damon got caught cheating in poker at the police officers game in rounders.
Do you think they can get time? I honestly wouldn’t think so but I have no idea really. I am very surprised they didn’t get their asses kicked though.Cheating like that is unforgivable. Those guys deserve to have their asses whipped. Hopefully they get a lot of time for it.
They weighed almost twice what the tourney director expected them to weigh. He felt the fish and could feel the hard balls inside them. Idiots yes cheats yes. Jail time. No.Wonder what caused them to suspect it.
Someone earlier mentioned the winners purse was $45K so to me taking that money by fraud is jail worthy. Now if it was for a trophy and no money was on the line then I would agree with you but who knows how much of the $300K these 2 guys have won came from cheating.They weighed almost twice what the tourney director expected them to weigh.

Felony theft, fraud, falsifying documents...Do you think they can get time? I honestly wouldn’t think so but I have no idea really. I am very surprised they didn’t get their asses kicked though.
Since they didn’t actually get the money I’m not sure it’s criminal. But if they can prove the did it before and did receive money then that’s a different story.Someone earlier mentioned the winners purse was $45K so to me taking that money by fraud is jail worthy.

I used to fish tournaments a lot and know of a guy and his dad who were caught cheating. They were banned from fishing those tournaments for several years and when they finally let them start fishing again they got caught cheating once again. In their case they would practice fish the week before, catch fish and put them in metal baskets and place them back in the lake, then go back on tournament day and retrieve the baskets from the water and get the fish which they would weigh in. Needless to say after it happened the 2nd time it was a situation similar to this one where some guys wanted to teach them a lesson.![]()
What’s the charge?Read this morning that the county they were fishin in is going to prosecute those cheating bastards![]()
Eddie I think it was fraud, I’ll go back and link it if I can find itWhat’s the charge?
Ok just wondering. I bet they have to sign contracts to get into the tournament. What a wild storyEddie I think it was fraud, I’ll go back and link it if I can find it![]()
