Where are the allegations from previous tournaments?

What’s the cliff note’s version to this 42 pager?
A guy not fishing in the open ran a competitor off a spot that pulled in on a spot next to another competitor. The kicker here is the other competitor was staying with the guy who did the running off. The video of the encounter was posted to facebook and the lawyer (guy who did the running off) made a video trying to explain what really transpired and made it known he was taking legal action for the posting of the video. Papers have been served and a lot of drama. Bass reviewed the video along with other videos that captured the incident and DQ the competitor the lawyer was buddies with (Tucker Smith).
The lawyer also gave a false name in the video and the name he used was Ryan Ingram who is a well known and respected angler in from the area. Tucker finished well in the tournament and his DQ cost him 11k in winnings. There is accusation of hole sitting by the lawyer and accusations around Tucker Smith that he has been a benefactor to this type of stuff a lot.
"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
One thing I've learned is a bully is usually just a coward with a loud mouth. Their worst enemy are the ones that are generally quiet but in reality meaner and tougher than they could ever dream of being. Someone can either be a doormat or they can stand up for themselves. I was raised to always fight for what's right and not take $hit off anyone.

Treat others like you want to be treated when on the water EVEN WHEN IN A TOURNAMENT! No fish is worth having a confrontation because you cut someone off or came in on top of someone.
Just went through this at work at the meat counter. Dude has been needling me for 9 months. Using threatening tone of voice talking under his breath. Sunday I exploded on him for 5 minutes in front of 15 customers. Had to apologize to my supervisor. Told him I am being treated for a heart disorder and dont need this dudes bullshit at age 64. The guys 22 years younger and 75 pounds heavier. Went to my yearly physical yesterday and I am on 911 alert. Meds have been added and stress tests will be coming ASAP.

Sounds like we work in the same type of business. I've slipped up a few times when it comes to toxic co-workers. Hit 20 years this month at the same place and worked around several of the same people most of that time (most great people and a couple not so great). HR knows who I am and no one's perfect.
