7 More Cheaters Busted!

http://www.chron.com/sports/article/7-accused-of-fishing-fraud-in-Texas-tournament-3809852.php

Saltwater, but happy to see the new Robbie law being vigorously enforced.

Bust 'em all!!

i cant stand cheaters!

Hangem High!!

why cheat. I never understood it im 22 and i know if i entered a tournamnet my chance of winning isnt very good right now cause i still have a lot to learn but never would i think to cheat. plus people will never help cheaters.

Good for them. Losers

Good-- make examples out of them...sooner or later they will get it

Busted one here this year. Apparently he had them in a basket

Winners never cheat and Cheaters Never Win (well in the long run that is)

Hope they give them the maximum penalty.

Whenever there's a monetary prize involved in ANY type of tournament, they'll be folks out there that are willing to cheat.

People steal, rape, murder....why not cheat.....damn bastards!!

They didn't have a .pollygraph?

Electric Chair!

need something more painful.

Isn't it just a misdemeanor if it's under 10k? I sure hope they get more than a slap on the wrist.

EVERTBODY cheats, some get caught..

If you cheat I pray you get caught!

That is a false statement.

Idiots. That's all I got.

Nope. 3rd degree felony. They won second and a $5,000 prize.

Simply not true. I believe most tournament fishermen go to great lengths to follow the rules. Maybe you cheat, but most people do not.

Frenzy, here is the Code. It does say $10,000, but pay attention to the language concerning all divisions in a tournament, etc.

Thanks! That's a much better punishment .

fouzman when I first saw all that garble of letters I thought you were bleepin out what you was sayin about cheaters,eather way am sure your right on.

Cheaters have an amazing mentality, most think the world owes them something and they try to get us to pay for it. Most thieves won't steal from their neighbor, but a cheater will cheat those closest to them!

^^^^^^^^^^^

Sorry Frenzy. The link didn't work.

Copy and paste works.

breakimg rules is cheating, if you drive and exceed the speed limit your cheating the rules, football players cheat by holding,
baseball players steal signs, basketball players foul, nascar drivers try to get there cars faster,..people fudge the rules all the time, when I said everybody I meant any where theres an opportunity there will be someone trying to cheat,..some get caught,..some dont.

Yep, I am sure still lots of cheating in Bass Tournaments and others Tournaments

More than most would want to admit

dad always said cheaters eat peters!!!

I wonder how they got busted. It wouldn't surprised me if one or all bragged about what they did. If so they deserved for what they did. I just don't understand what made them think they could get away with it. I mean sooner or later you will be busted. What an embarrassment!

"Everybody cheats, some get caught" What a sad testimony. Inaccurate too.

You smokin crack?

Anyone have a list of names?

I agree. If someone chooses to cheat they will find a way.

Scary part is how many cheaters never get caught. Makes me sick thinking that I've lost out to a cheater before.

That code posted explicitly calls out freshwater fishing. Will that be a loophole these guys can use to get away with this? Is there another code for saltwater (couldn't find one)? If they get off on a technicality, I hope someone at least publishes names so they can't fish other tournaments

Yes, the saltwater loophole was closed last year.

Ummmm....no.

yup and yup. thing is some guys are great fisherman and still do it, need the fix i guess

So I'm a dope smoker and a liar, that's ok, but for all you that are driving past me at 80 in a 65, you're cheating the law.


For all who can't stand cheaters, or wanna hang 'em high, take a close look around, it ain't just fishermen.

Can't stand a liar, thief or a cheat. Hope they get the max punishment

poor comparison, just sayin...

you can not cheat GOD...Good luck with that!

Bust 'em
