Good point about the Larry Nixon incident, or lack there of...LOL. I thought it was pretty funny to see "Larry Nixon" doing something like that.

Now to the main incident we are discussing. I happened to tape the later showing on Monday night, and got to watch it this morning. It did not seem to upset Anthony Gagliadardi, but then it was his second fish to none by Lefebre. I thought it kind of bit the big one that he was fined the 2 tenths of a pound to try to save the fish, but a five lber is certainly worth that. Then you have to also consider that Anthony did not let lefebre fish the fourth quarter.

Both were laughing and having fun with it. Lefebre even said that before it happened, he would have said he would not ever do that to another fisherman, but then when you are in that position, you just never know.

The good thing is they both kept in in perspective and were laughing about it at the end of the show.

I have fished a lot of draw tournaments where I was fishing against the guy in the back. I would not ever do what these guys do. BUT the thing is, this show is designed to bring that type of action into the show. IT IS MEANT TO BE FUN... and I think we have to look at it that way. It is kind of like wrestling. When I was a teen, I loved to watch wrestling... **** the bruiser, Barron Von Kaloff, etc.... Not sure who are the stars now, other than the few commercials I see occasionally. But any case, I think we have to look at UMF as kind of the WWF of fishing.

The only possible thing that should be mentioned, is that winner can not be scripted as easily. I suppose it could be done, but not sure that the guys would go along with that.
