heck no, keep em coming...Stump you live in LA, this guy hasn't stolen your money like he has ours!

Agreed.

Robber Rose will be the Butt of jokes for many years in Bass Circles in North Texas, He has given Bass Tournaments a Black eye, Stolen from Tournament Anglers, and basically slapped the face of Bass Fishermen.

BigLeslie I wanted to see the Halloween Costume I can not beleive they took it down.

Skeetfleece You keep ep comming I have never laughed so hard

HI ALL, IN THE EARLY 90S WE HAD A CHEATER JOIN OUR BASS CLUB HERE IN WEATHERFORD. HE SPANKED US PRETTY GOOD THE FIRST 5 TOUR. AND WE ALL SAID MAN THIS DUDE IS GOOD. WELL THERE WAS 2 GRAND OR SO IN OUR OVER 6 POT WITH A 2 DAY AT FORK COMMIN UP. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A HARD 2 DAYS OF FISHING EXCEPT FOR OUR CHEATER - HE WEIGHED IN ONE OVER 6. THE PROBLEM WAS THE FISH WAS SICK LOOKING HIS NOSE AND MOUTH WERE BEAT UP HE WAS WHITE LOOKIN - NOT YOUR TYPICAL HEALTHY FORK FISH. SO WE TOLD HIM HE NEEDED TO TAKE A POLI AND HE DID AND DIDN'T PASS - HE TOOK 2 MORE AND DIDN'T PASS WE TOLD HIM HE WAS NOT GETTING THE MONEY AND THREW HIM OUT OF THE CLUB - HIS RESPONCE WAS - WHATEVER. NOW IF IM IN A SITUATION THAT I AM BEING CALLED A CHEATER AND I AM NOT AND NEVER HAVE THOSE ARE FIGHTIN WORDS - MY POP ALWAYS SAID - I HATE A LIER CHEAT AND A THIEF - I FOLLOW THE RULES - THIS GUY TOOK FIRST PLACE MONEY FROM ME AND I WON'T EVER FORGET IT. WE ALL HAD A BAD TASTE IN OUR MOUTH FOR A LONG LONG TIME --- G

We need to hold off on the jokes for a while, and especially those that mention someone who has not yet officially been linked to this incident.

Anyone know the total amount of money and merchandise this scumbag stole over the years? Skeetfleece priceless... Dan

i agree, but those three posts made it worth reading all 49 pages. we ought to just give'em all a polygraph and clear this matter up one way or another. oh, thats right, nevermind....

Oh man I missed the Skeetfleece joke. I always miss the good stuff. They must have pulled it already.

I hope this will be closed by the time I am back from my cruise....

Seriously! I am tired of seeing it, but can't help but continue to open it and read. I know what he did was wrong but holding bitterness and unforgiveness against someone is like drinking poison and hoping it hurts the other person. There is know way of knowing for sure if he ever cheated before now, one can only assume.

Should have known it all along !!!!
Lead spelled one way with two meanings that do not go together in Bass tournaments ?????

Robber Rose has the "lead" and lead:( now hes gone

I dont know if its time for closing comments but here's mine:

I have learned that being an angler automatically joins you to a brotherhood of friends (no membership fees required, its just understood) that are suppose to cheer you on when you catch em good, be supportive when the fishing is slow, help you when your broke down, respect your area you are currently fishing, and sincerely care for your safety on and off the water.

And any deliberate forms of cheating (not referring to accidents) anglers of their hard earn money causes you to seriously violate that trust, and doing so is worse than a spit in the face to the angler and their family members who have contributed as well.

So...if you tend to find yourself fighting the urge to cheat other fisherman.... please seek help immediately!!! Otherwise, be ready to be shunned for life if your caught.

hopefully this is not going to be a farewell to a very very important situation, personally I think the mods should put this one on top and leave it ther, many people have not had a chance to see this, read all of it and it is something we need to keep on top.

Well I have been out of town deer hunting for the last 9 days, but got several calls informing me about this mess and all I can say is WHAT A SHAME!!!!!

I think I have most of the details, but I guess I will go back and read this 49 page novel just for grins!

TRUST ME.......PEOPLE WILL CHEAT EVEN WHEN MONEY AINT ON THE LINE! EGO IS JUST AS VALUABLE AS MONEY TO PEOPLE LIKE THIS!

I HAVE SEEN IT FIRST HAND!

amen

seems his greed was looking for prestige. google hints someone under the same name in garland was also making some pretty coin on gambling sites.

I agree, I was President of a Club in Nebraska for a few years, an officer for a few more years, I was always amazed at what guys would try to get away with. We didn't fish for any real money either ($100-$150 an event total purse), but it was never about the money. It was about getting a limit, or beating a personal best, or even just tired of getting beat by the same people in the Club month after month. We handled those behind the scenes though, adjusted the scores, never lost a member due to any of this and never had to talk to the same member about it more than once. The guys that are doing it for money will keep doing it, keep escalating it and even if they are caught, will continue to cheat to win money if given the chance. If am all for forgivness, to give someone a second chance and believe that people can change if they really want to. But at the same time, some people can't handle the temptation of what they see as an easy way to make money, doesn't matter how many people they step on or hurt to do it. Just like you can't give an alcholic just a single drink, you can't give these types of people the opportunity as what they see as an easy mark. At the Club level, you talk to someone about it, they are embarrassed and they won't do it again. But by the time guys are cheating for money, they have already been able to get away with it for years at every level, I don't think they know how to compete without cheating. Or at least without the net of cheating behind them in case they don't do well when the money is on the line.

Cheating on Taxes= seems acceptable
Cheating on wife= trouble
Cheating in Tournament= DEATH WISH

Man I hope this thread is done. I don't think anything more can be said.

+1 Ape and more should be said about this !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I worked First Monday Trade Days in Canton for 5 days.

Saw lots of fishermen come through the booth, Ranger hats, other logoed fishing apparell, some from Dallas, some from east Tx, None were TFFer's, none heard of the cheating.

Lots of guys out there that haven't heard of Robby getting caught, finally!.

Some, how, the public needs to get the message in DFW.

The first lie detector tests

It's just to bad that the greed of money has polluted eveything! I know there are still some people who have integerity. But how do you justify cheating on your taxes? Cause we all have at some point and time! So just look in the mirror.
