The boy from Benton?

Whatever happened to Tony Christian after being banned from FLW events? Has he gone into hiding, or packed up and moved to fish some different waters. Do you think this guy cheated? He said he didn't do anything "illegal" which catching a starved fish out of a box is not illegal in court but I am sure most guys don't want someone fishing in the same tourney their in with pet fish in boxes. But that was the rumor I heard...I have no opinion because I do not know the details. What I do know is that it must have been pretty serious for FLW to ban him, but all they said it was unsportmesnlike rule that he broke...what the heck..give us a little more! Anyway this guy put a whoopin' down on his competitors. If he wasn't catching them out of a box i think he had an eletrode on his bait shocking the fish..haha...
Or did you ever see the King of the Hill episode where Hank was tearin' up on his "secret bait" (cocaine). Maybe ole' Tony was doping up his fish.

Anyone have anything they know on the guy or the story of the big fish magician?

It's a real weird situation. FLW is pretty tight lipped about the whole story. About the only VERIFIABLE FACTS anybody knows (with the exception of FLW insiders)is that TC left the presence of his coangler for a short period of time. That's why he was officially disqualified. There was an interview with TC on Bassfan.com about a year ago that was somewhat interesting. You might want to try and dig that up.
