Cost us the Sportsman' Network bonus that would have doubled our winnings. I have also came in with 6 fish tbat I simply miscounted while catching schooling fish. I self reported it as soon as I noticed it. Cost the win and a good check. I don't think winning or a check is worth our integrity.

My brother and I had a fish die in a Basschamps event on Amistad in 2011 and it cost us $15,000. We were off the water at noon on account of some mechanical issues. We were so dialed in that day and probably threw back another 10 fish over 4 4lbs. I’m confident we could’ve culled up if we were able to fish the rest of the day. Best bad day of fishing ever for me LOL!!!

Here is what I got sent this morning... weird I got the text as I’m just a simple observer of what’s going on. But I’d imagine a few ppl wouldn’t mind saying it to his face.

Huh..

Well that just got interesting.............

I said they "definitely did something against the rules". I don't know these guys and really don't care. Im not defending them. I was merely trying to state that if they cheated to gain an advantage then I wasn't sure if they did by culling a dead 7 lb fish. The advantage would be if they culled a dead 7 lb fish with a heavier fish or one that was more than 6 lbs to offset the 1 lb penalty. Not trying to find a grey area in the rules. They broke a rule and got penalized. Im sure Chad has dealt with plenty of dishonest people over the years fishing Bass Champs and he knows how to handle the punishment without the guys on the TFF's help.
Sorry I hit a nerve with some of you guys! No need for anyone to attack me personally.

37 second mark on the video posted. (The original video, on the first page, not the video a few post up)


I don’t know the guys and won’t crucify them, but they screwed up and they need to accept the punishment.

Seems like someone now is breaking another law, by threatening to do harm to another person. This guy has no Common sense. Now it’s not just a rule violation. Now the police can get involved. Bad deal just got worse for them or him.

Don't say anything about the dead one, just pull it out.

We are not cheaters and I will beat someones [sic] *** if I hear them say it when I'm around !

The first statement from their video shows intent to violate a law. The second statement is a threat to anyone with an opinion on the first. If you don't believe their version of the story, they're just going to assault you so you realize how upstanding they are.

I step away for a few minutes and all hell breaks loose!

Cranking’ Craig says the fish was alive the whole time after Ol’ Rooster says toss out the stiff one but be quiet about it. Now Crankin’ Craig wants to whip Fulton’s butt for implying they’re cheaters! Lol! That’s a good one! Team Bandito better tread lightly with Fulton because he’s got a rolodex of guys to fight for him and by gawd he’s not afraid to use it!

Sorry Team Bandito, I don’t buy they sad sack story of bad editing not showing you bring a corpse back to life. The only bad editing was the part where Rooster put his beak to your ear and self incriminated.


Winner winner Chicken dinner!

this sure went south.

Where does the line start to call them cheaters to their face? I figure it’s gonna be a long one.

Behind you, I guess
