Ok, apparently there were 2 guys caught cheating at Barkley.
That is fine to discuss, ONCE they are convicted.
I am disturbed by another post I just found concerning individuals who won a tournament on Paintsville.
If you lose to a good fisherman do not come on this board and ask if they cheated or HAVE cheated.
That is disgusting behaviour. IF there is no proof do not use this board to slander people.
I will not tolerate this. IF ANY MORE POSTS appear asking if "Someone" was caught cheating or was "Suspected" of cheating I will ban them from the board permanently.
I have good friends who found a good spot on a lake and won 4 straight tournaments from that one spot over a 4 week period in mid summer. The fish just stacked up and stayed there. It was a spot almost in the middle of a creek that he accidentally found. Fish stayed for 6 weeks but by week 4 people were starting to call him a cheater to his face, although there was no evidence, although 2 other people had fished with him, although there was no marks on the fish indicating they were in a box or screen. He quit fishing tournaments on that lake. Caught fish but quit fishing tournaments.
So if you are losing to a better fisherman do not come on here and ask about suspicions. They are just that suspicions and you do not SLANDER some one based on your suspicions. I WANT PROOF. PERIOD. I WILL HAVE TO SEE A COPY OF THE TICKET AND HAVE A GUILTY PLEA OR CONVICTION BEFORE NAMES WILL BE USED ON THIS SITE.
