Agreed. If they have proof he cheated and he collected money then it is considered fraud and is a criminal offense and should be prosecuted.
I fish with a really good fisherman that will not sight fish beds, and talks s#*& on any 1 that does.
The big boys sure did that at Harris this year.
Did anyone fish Harris 1-2 weeks before. Big tournament on week days? I did and seen a few really nice new bass cats, and nitros. registered in Va. just saying
You cant compare the weighs of when the pros fished there verse any tournament from Harris because of the simple fact is the pros got to weigh in slot fish. Totally different format. Even the weights on Falls and Jordan would be totally different if those guys were fishing for the biggest 5 fish.
Another problem is when a new guy comes along and befriends said cheater. He has no idea of the past, he is seen hanging out with the guy because he does not know anyone else. All of a sudden he is associated with said "cheater" and has no clue why everyone else shuns him. Seen it happen in other sports.
It was the ABA AFT trail.. $70 entry fee, NOT the Open series, just FYI
that's interesting - i was under the impression the AFT had not allowed co-anglers all year, and wont until these next tourneys coming in June. Curious how this guy ended up with a co-angler in that event if it was AFT.
Can anyone actually confirm the facts here - there were no co-anglers during the time of this event so I’m very curious how this came to light.
Some trails allowed coanglers all year, most didn't.
This makes the ABA look terrible to not make this public if the rules were broken. Seems more like a soap opera.
