If there is as much cheating as their is whining and complaining and bitching on this forum then there is a TON of cheaters out there...
Good thing there is not thats like saying there aren't a bunch of guys that cheat on their wives. Promise you theres a ton of cheating that never gets caught especially in team tournaments, the draw style is more immune to cheating, I noticed Mr. Long never entered a boater/co-angler draw style.

Who had the time, desire and obvious hatred to spend the hours of investigative reporting to do all this videoing and what is their motive? Regardless though they uncovered a lier, cheat and a thief because thats what someone is who deceives for artificial fame and whatever personal profit came from selling your name for rods, lures... Obviously someone that had their lug nuts loosened on the their boat trailer and truck No doubt this guy is a grade A sociopath.

It looks like tons of evidence, but would have been very difficult to prove any single case in court. All circumstantial. Not until you look at the entire picture does it become pretty clear.
The video is really the only real physical evidence.
I bet a lot of people were concerned that they would look like a jealous sore loser if they came forward with no definitive proof.

It's funny that all these anglers that are "SUSPECTED" of cheating by fellow anglers and others. Normally comes out that they do cheat or they do get busted.
Mike Long is great example. Robby Rose is a great example. The guy with the hair piece that fished Media Fork years ago with all of us is another great example.
All 3 of these are guys I know that people suspected of cheating for years. And all 3 got busted doing it.
I mean, is winning a tournament or catching a fish that dang important to basically ruin your name in the industry or around the world? Stupid if you ask me!

The article states near the end that he is not even a great angler. He claims 75 over 15!!
I wonder how many 15 lb. bass he legitimately caught?

So is my Dobyns DX 784 ML still a jigging rod ? The closest I've ever came to snagging with it is using a flutter spoon.

First thing that I noticed on the video is him looking around a lot to see if anyone is watching him, that seems very suspect right out of the gate. Someone made the comment about people that get locked onto fish and sky would have to fall for them to break concentration...did not see this desire in Mr. Long. He should never be able own a rod or fish again in his life. There is a similar thread on the hunting boards about the " Prince of Poachers" same thing to me, white trash scumbags that deserve to be in jail, especially since they were so cavalier about their exploits.

Add Tim Griffin to that list at Falcon and Amistad. Always weighed in one big fish at Amistad that obviously looked like a Falcon fish. Finally got busted at Champs weighing in a 13 he caught on practice day. SOB stole a lot of money from us competitors
