    they can share info with anyone else that’s in the tournament. Unless you meant they were texting another pro for info that’s not in their tournament

    Why not cheat? If you can be on the lake during off limits "crappie fishing" and it only cost ya 10 minutes..

    Just as an on the surface observation, it appears more widespread in MLF. But it's for sure happening in bass too.

    They live in the gray area. Cheating? Who’s to say.

    The “Naked & Afraid” pro bass fishing edition tournament …

    No electronics whatsoever except for safe navigation between spots. Neutral observer on every boat video recording every catch, verifying no electronics turned on, no fish taken from baskets, staying within confines, verifying all applicable rules being followed etc. Lake location not revealed until the day before. No prize except the bragging rights to say “I am the Grand Poobah of bass fishing” … Yeah, it’s ludicrous and never gonna happen but it would be a hoot to watch. Money brings out the worst in people.
    Ranting incoherently

    Neither organization will do anything even if u do turn someone in cause of the turn oil that it would cause. Most of the guys who break the rules are the higher up guys in both series. It happens every event……

    ... and everyone gets assigned 2 identical spincast reels on 5-1/2' rods with 8 lb mono, two bags of 6" rubber worms, hooks, and 1/2 oz. weights for Texas rigging. That is the ONLY fishing gear allowed.

    Do you live under a rock?

    What hasn’t he been accused of? He has initiated rule creation or modification for things he has done in tournaments.

    Being accused doesn't mean he is cheating.

    If rules had to be created or modified then how would that be cheating?
