This link leads to an article and video of some “pro” walleye anglers getting caught adding weights and fillets to the stomachs of the catch. I’ve heard of such things but never seen it proven. The other anglers are livid and I apologize for some bad words if you watch the video. All I can say is those dudes would not have made it out of the parking lot had I been fishing in the tournament. Hopefully they will be brought up on charges.

That is disgusting, but not surprising. The higher the prize, the more tempting it is for some to cheat…

They should be busted to the full extent of the law and banned from any future tournaments…anywhere!

Disqualification is the cost of doing business for cheaters. They need to face legal consequences as well.

I agree the boat they used they had “won” in another tournament. I’d like to see them stripped of all winnings!

Had they become "MASTERS" of beating a LIE DETECTOR ? I have seen this happen in other tournaments. They should be BANNED FROM FISING forever and all alleged Prizes be recovered and face criminal Charges of Grand Theft.

That’s not something that you would ever want to see or be a part of. They should be banned from any and all future tournaments

Theft by deception for sure. Licenses should be taken away and all equipment should be confiscated and given to youth groups.

Here’s another story I didn’t realize at first that these are the same dudes that were disqualified from the Fall Brawl. That is a contest I join. $40 entry biggest walleye wins a boat. Other prizes as well.

A friend of mine fishes The Fall Brawl tournament.

I agree with the others, they should be stripped of their winnings and face criminal charges as well as losing their fishing license privilege for a certain period of time as well.

Oh my J, my grandmother said that money was the root of all evil. What causes one to risk that embarrassment?

The question being why they aren't banned for life from any future tournament.

How about any of the guys with the group literally walking up to their faces and telling them it would be best if they left, nobody wants to compete with cheaters. It is highly unlikely that they have the guts to stand up against a clear message like that.
