Curious to hear the rest of the story.

I would be aggravated too.

This is why it is never smart money to bet on spawning bass in a tourney. If you found it, it's a safe bet someone else did as well. If missing out on one fish ruined your day, you didn't have much of a shot anyway. There will always be people looking for a way to cheat or curb the rules. Seen several times on Ray Roberts during trailer events where people had someone sitting on a spot for them them. Never saw it work out too good for those fellas. I would be willing to bet the guy who jumped your spot didn't cash a check either.

Haha waste my money again, darn grammar police. I wasn't hinging my bet on one bed fish and I'm sure several people did see it. That's why I was at the ramp at 3:30 in the morning to make sure I was going to get there first legally. If I were able to put that fish in the boat I would've cashed a check. We caught fish all day but only had 4 solid keepers.

How big was it? Did it get caught? Did the tourney director do anything about it?

We were in Grand pappy.

We didn't have a spot to race to. The boat ramps seemed really quiet at 6:45 when we launched.

Im intersted to here the entire story. This a tournament that took less then 15 pounds to cash a check- one fish can certainly make a big difference. Id be very interested to here how the tournament director handled it, how the team finished etc etc. Please share.

I am surprised some guys did not rent boat slips.

I just dont like tailering events period!

Trailering should not be allowed period. I do not want this trend go into a trailering discussion as the OP has a legitimate beef if his story is accurate.
