Well, there’s the problem right there. Those two dummies should have registered as transsexual fisherpeople. No one would dare to question a transexual about anything.

This isn't the first time something like this has happened. I remember reading other stories of weights and sinkers in tournament fish.

This one year, when I was a wee lad, we went fishing in Berlin Reservoir for Walleye.

We caught a few, smallish ones.

We were loading up and this boat rolled in and these two guys have two strings of absolutely STUNNING huge Walleye.

As they were loading up their boat, a crowd appeared around them. A game warden was next, then several uniformed Police officers.

After some time, we got to ask one of the Warden’s what happened and his answer was the same as this situation.

“When everyone is bringing a certain size fish and someone just blows it away, it’s cheating. These guys were using treble hooks to snag Walleye from the dam basin. It’s too early in the year for the big ones to bite with their mouth, so they’re poaching”.

Skill in fishing only takes you so far.

If Walleye tournament fishermen are anything like Bass Tournament fisherman those guys are lucky the crowd didn’t tear them apart on the spot.

I used to fish Bass tournaments when I was in high school and college. The same fisherman won all the time. Their trick.....If it was a Saturday tournament they would fish Friday.....catch bass and cage them over night on the river. The bass they brought in were always beat up...like they had been in a cage all night. This was for $300 top prize. People will cheat at anything.

You don’t want to be the target of a crowd of ugly fishermen.

The world is amazing. How some people can get so worked up over something you couldn’t pay me to do. Snoozefest! LOL. To each his own for hobbies though!

Modern metal detectors can detect lead. That should probably be a standard procedure.

I can’t explain why, but for some reason I find this hilarious!

Disclaimer: I am not a fisherman and don’t have a clue about this stuff.

I’ve seen the video....The cheat just stood there and stared into space...His fishing days/career are way over. Has to be hard for that guy to even look in the mirror.
