Tournament cheating

[tracy]

having to worry about someone tieing up fish, or passing fish is one thing. you have to catch them doing it.

But these small tournaments not checking live wells is crazy. It's just inviting someone to cheat.

poor run tourns like that make me think twice about fishing them.

Dixie Marine runs a good buddy tournament. Fished the Adopt A Bass tournament on Saturday on the Ohio River. Boat check before launch, look in the livewells, then polygraph the overall winner and the big bass winner before announcing the prizes. A very professional and well run tournament trail as far as I can see.
