Crnr2Crnr Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 that shit has been going on forever, especially if there isn't an official in the boat coworker of mine and his father fish a lot of WI tournaments and have encouraged me to join them... no interest, I fish for fun and to show my friends a good time. on our lake if I don't catch a dozen large in a hour it's a slow day. river down the hill has been slow the last two years for smallies but pulled a 21" yesterday and a sassy 19" this afternoon... count was low but quality was good.

Gold Member Kivalo Posted October 2, 2022 Gold Member Share Posted October 2, 2022 Don't they check for weights or other means of cheating at every tournament? Would seem like this would be common place if they didn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted October 2, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 2, 2022 First time my dad had cancer he did the same thing. Stuffed sinkers in his pockets so he weighed heavier. They were always trying to get him to take his coat off when he weighed in. He was trying to get the doctors off his ass 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doorider Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 An extra 8oz - 1 lb each fish and they might get away with it. 4 lb fish weighing 7 lbs, no way an experienced fisherman wouldn't know something is up. I bet they were doing this for years and got too cocky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between idiots like these two, who stuff weights into a fish & the other ones who pre-fish and fill a hidden live well with "keepers" ... they're all assholes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comes with slaw, lime, and 8lbs of fresh Lake Erie sinkers. Ask your waitress for a side of shame for dipping! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buddy and I fish a local tournament here on the river 25 years ago. We were fishing from a canoe and floated past this guy who had cages sunk in the river. We heard through some buddies later that he had been prefishing for a couple weeks at that spot. Other people had reportedly been fishing different lakes and rivers and lying as to where they caught it. Cheating bastards everywhere.
