First year BC too, north, hope to see y'all out there, maybe meet as well.

to answer your questions....NO...I've NEVER been disqualified from any tournament..NO, I didn't pre-fish...I drove 18 hours to get to Lewisville in time to pre-register....I haven't fished Lewisville in nearly 10 years....YES...I'm sure it was BassChamps..I don't remember who was running this particular event...it was about 8 years ago..my brother and his wife fished their tournaments for a number of years....I was given NO explanation, what-so-ever.....I don't know if they thought I was some kind of "ringer" from East Tennessee...that's a laugh....I was totally disappointed and offended by their decision....You can believe me or not.....that's up to you....I hold no grudges towards them....I watch their programs every week.....but, I'll never attempt to fish their tournaments....

...makes me wonder if someone had a brother with a name that rhymed with Fobby Fose. If it was a Champs tourney, then Champs would have been running it.

Was you and his wife and your brother gonna fish together? ....wasn't there a guy while back that was cheating, sticking weights down the bass's throats and stringing bass to a tree and he got caught?

Yes, Robbie Rose cheated in Bass Champs tournaments but they could not catch him in action. He was finally caught at a Ray Hubbard tournament BLT and punished.

What a piece of [censored]

But he was a good Christian God fearing angler....

Also owned a foundation company; what does that tell you!

I hope someone ran into him alone in a parking lot after that

Someone did. A game warden. He got to wear some pretty shiny bracelets. Amen?

Even God fearing Christians get tempted by the Devil - and fail. It is the Christians who should give grace show grace - they understand what it is all about. We had a cheater in our club in the early 90s - he cost me some money - some better finishes also. He failed 3 polygraph tests - after a over 6 fish would have gave him the big bass pot. Made many of us sick - he just left never to be seen again !!! Remember God gives us all our own life - to do as we want. It is up to us to read his word and do the best we can to immolate Jesus. Jesus forgave us - he hung on a cross and bled out for us. I forgive these guys for cheaten - just won't ever fish with them again.

Whatever happened to him? I hope someone on jail ran into him alone in a jail cell

He still owns the foundation repair company. Prob cheating little old ladies out of thousands by chunking some concrete blocks under the houses

He probably has his fishing license back by now.

Didn't he win a [censored] load of money? And few boats? I wonder if they made him pay it back
