So if he shouted out over a megaphone outside it would be legal?Originally Posted by rb
You guys are just making the point greater that it's an outdated stupid unenforceable rule. You still have to catch the fish.

Agreed…..I have no issue with it.
Just like a club Tx bitching about the guy that makes the time to practice

Yes - he should have self reported like I said.

My thought's about it also.
We almost got through a tournament with no drama. 1 DQ and 4 no wake zone infractions. About on average these days.
There should be a spreadsheet for this

Hi Mike.
It sounds like Matt was not soliciting the information and it was just a mistake but a failed polygraph requires some action.
Doesn't Matt and Bill L room together?
Yup, made a comment a couple pages back. Milliken did the same thing on his practice video. Guy in his backyard started to talk about a “hole” and he stopped him immediately.
Wasn’t it reported previously that there would be five random competitors polygraphed at each event so there is always the chance you could be one of the five.
Yes, and everyone is good with that inequality...as long as it's an inequality of fishing skill and knowledge, rather than other outside factors.
"The man of system is apt to be very wise in his own conceit; and is often so enamored with the supposed beauty of his own ideal plan of government that he cannot suffer the smallest deviation from any part of it…He seems to imagine that he can arrange the different members of a great society with as much ease as the hand arranges the different pieces upon a chessboard.” Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments
This is a long shot, but possible. Matt might have said to another competitor, “my son said a tournament a few weeks back was won at blah blah”. We all know that several of the anglers will report you instantly, due to clauses.
I would believe after last year they are doing 5 randoms to kill the issue. Not hard to believe at all.
That's not illegal so.........Does anyone actually believe that all of these guys that room together aren't sharing info?
Well.... Very hypothetical here but also very possible these days. 2 guys rooming, one guy gets info, which is against the rules, and shares it with his roommate which is now legal info. They split all winnings.
Now, i do not think that is the case here at all. Bill and Matt are stand up guys but with the way things are handled these days it would pay off to do it.
The no info rule is just stupid and causes this type of stuff to happen. Matt got screwed here. Management at BASS is a train wreck right now.
I agree completely. That’s about as good of info as you can get.
Is that the creek Bill Lowen won in?
The no info rule doesn't have anything to do with publicly available information though.
