Glad to see someone got caught, now hang them from a tree and buggy whip them with a 10' FNF rod, take their boat and all their equipment away, post their names and pictures all over the area so that everyone knows. I have said it on this site before and will say it again. With the payouts getting so large on the big tourneys and even the little ones paying sometimes 20-50 times the entry fee, cheating will happen. Cheating happens in every sport imaginable to one extent or another. Unless you put a camera on each and every boat there is no way for all tourneys to be 100% accurate all the time. This is the one main reason that I don't fish more tournaments, plus the fact that I ##### at fishing. I have no problem donating my entry fee to the winner for I love to compete but want to make sure everyone is on a level playing ground. Ky and Barkley has SO MUCH WATER that I wonder what the percentage of cheating really goes on during all tourneys, big and small. Hell, I would bet some guys cheat in the smaller tourneys for the bragging rights of the win more than the small winners check. Just venting on the topic, for I believe the MAJORITY of the fishermen I have met are as honest as the day is long. It is this Minority pieces of trash that is the problem. As the post said, these same 2 won a big tourney recently, how much money did they win? A couple of guys winning a good tourney here and there plus some smaller ones can easily pick up a couple of thousand a month or more. With that kind of money, how much cheating is going on for we have all read post after post of cages found at various lakes across the state. Makes me wonder??
