A Florida fisherman lost $2.8 million in prize money after he was disqualified from a fishing tournament in Maryland for failing a polygraph test.

Allegedly he started fishing earlier than the proper start time.

$2.8 million for catching a fish?

And they take it away on the result of a POLYGRAPH???

Was their any other evidence against this guy? I mean was his boat gone from the dock a few hours too early? or what...?

I would NEVER take a polygraph, and if $2.8 million was on the line I am sure my reactions would be skewed.

You would if you agreed to it as a condition of participating in the tournament, which all participants did.

I think there was an edit/erasure on his log that started the officials asking questions. Of course, these big money tournaments have all kinds of rules the participants must agree to.

That a fisherman could ever tell a lie is inconceivable.

Definitely something fishy going on there. (Just getting it out of the way - someone was going to say it.)

I am clearly participating in the wrong hobbies if fishing has those kind of prizes.

There must have been something wrong with the polygraph machine, then.
