Damn that’s as low as it gets in the fishing circuit.
Yes I had a friend that fished as a second hustle. He’d pull 20-30 a year. Another won 1 tournament for 10K.In the youtube comments someone says they made over 300k in tournaments last year and over 500k this year in winnings. Are these fishing tournaments that big?
Maybe not from the tournament itself but think of all those sponsors on his jacket.In the youtube comments someone says they made over 300k in tournaments last year and over 500k this year in winnings. Are these fishing tournaments that big?
Bigger tournaments scan (x-ray) fish to verify no rocks or weights are inside.Dont a lot of the big tournaments require questions while hooked up to a polygraph after you win?
Got a buddy who fishes as a side gig and i asked him about ease of cheating and he was saying its not as easy as it seems.
"Can’t believe they caught fish that ate weights."Damn that’s as low as it gets in the fishing circuit.
Apparently this same crew was busted last year on a tournament for failing a polygraph. I found the article last night onlineDont a lot of the big tournaments require questions while hooked up to a polygraph after you win?

One year we were fishing the Gold Cup Marlin Tournament in Catalina, a well known "Plastic Surgeon" to many Hollywood stars appeared to have won it was announced after weighing in his marlin."Can’t believe they caught fish that ate weights."
And I bet there are all kinds of clauses in those contracts to financially cover their asses if one of their sponsored fishermen get caught cheating like this. He's definitely going to owe a LOT of restitution to a lot of people.Those shirts / vests will all those sponsors reming me of those Rodeo guys. Shit load of sponsors. Lots of money lost. Bet the boat is Sponsor owned
That poor bass has been starving to death! Should be twice that size. Nice catch regardless!!
I know, that's what I was thinkingThat poor bass gas been starving to death! Should be twice that size. Nice catch regardless!!
having been around tournaments growing up....he would have gotten the ever living shit beat out of him in the parking lot. they waited for the cops to prevent that from occurring.Don't know why he stuck around looking all concerned.. should've headed for the hills. Made his chunk of change cheating!.. call it a day and gtfoh.!

Top guy made $6 million last yearIn the youtube comments someone says they made over 300k in tournaments last year and over 500k this year in winnings. Are these fishing tournaments that big?
Yup, always catch and release, he was stoked to catch that, thanksDid you return the fish to the corral.. err I mean lake?
Nice Fish
I don’t know shit about fuck when it comes to fishing. But this is fascinating to me. I fucking hate cheaters. Did a little reading on this, and these guys would have won this tournament by a fair amount, WITHOUT the weights being added.
Morons.
I have a buddy that was a full sponsored pro bass fisherman. Everything was sponsored. His truck, the boat, all his gear, everything.Those shirts / vests will all those sponsors reming me of those Rodeo guys. Shit load of sponsors. Lots of money lost. Bet the boat is Sponsor owned
Local help is cheating!! LOL, that's awesome you were able to help him, local knowledge it keyI was in a club tournament with my buddy here in havasu. He only invited me along because he had never been on the lake but I am very familiar with havasu for 15 years. i never fished it seriously but all he asked was where have i seen bass boats in the past. We went to all the areas and guess who came in first that day. I didn't catch chit but I guess i helped a little.
Did you take him to the middle of the north end of the channel on a Saturday and glare at all the boats trying to pass you as you sit there fucking fishing…?I was in a club tournament with my buddy here in havasu.
