In for a penny, in for a pound.

With such large prizes on the line, you'd think that the tournament sponsors would provide a sealed Go-Pro that has to be mounted on each boat to document the landing of the fish.

Consult with the producers of Deadliest Catch.

So what the heck did they lie about? Not signing up to Wall street journal.

I remember a story a few years back when some professional bass fisherman got busted after putting a bag full of sinkers down the throat of one of his lunkers before the weigh in, winning a bunch of tournament money.

The guy who came in second protested because the fish just didn't look quite big enough to weigh that much, so they cut the fish open and found the sinkers.

a 76.5-pound white marlin

???????

Are there some zeros missing, or a decimal misplaced?

Maybe a 765-pound Marlin would be a record... but seems to me they've been landed bigger.

It’s fishing. They should pay bonuses for lying!

76.5 pounds of Marlin is a throwback size, isn’t it?
