Question for the OP, did you have to adjust the payouts for the tourney they cashed in? I ask because I know of a BASS Elite that fished an event he knew he shouldn't have entered under the rules and won $10K, when it was exposed by a team that finished in the money it opened a pandora's box and the circuit took a hit in reputation & participation. What about their sponsors if they had any?

I will not condone what was done by these teens. But now I'm at a point that watching these threads, the posts on FB, and everywhere else, it's gone too far. These kids will be mentally scarred for years if not life. Which in some right, is warranted. But some of the hateful things being said, even an adult would find hard. Posting their school pictures was the point of no return.
I have a feeling, we're going to see this come back around to those posting photos, etc.
No one is going to win on this.
I somewhat disagree -- there will be people that " win on this " . I 100% guarantee that there are other teen age boys saying to themselves right now -- " Man , I would never do that , not worth it " . There will also be discussions between some parents and some teen age boys along those same lines and the consequences of this event will also influence those discussions and those lives ---- that's how having to pay for your mistakes with consequences works . The more severe the consequences , the more in depth those thoughts and discussions are --- just look at this thread . Hopefully these two boys will learn from this and move forward . I also hope their parents/grandparents will learn from this and not make any excuses for their behavior .

I love this world we live in. We now have to be worried about the mental well-being of the thieves that are trying to steal from us. That statement pretty much reflects your entire career here on the TFF, though you are not nearly the character you were under your old Alton K account. These are two young men who have been doing wrong a while - not 40-year-old career criminals. Wait! I’ve reread this a few times. Are you calling me a criminal? No, just a pot-stirrer who has posted some really messed-up stuff in the past. U may be a bit of a jackazz, but never heard of nor seen u do anything criminal.

If I knew how to put one of those thumbs up emoji posts right here, that’s what I would do. Lively times, JP. Lively times.

the bashing the kids is uncalled for, emphasis should be on why no charges were pursued when a complaint had been filed.
ample evidence to convict, confessed, caught in the act by witnesses.
I keep hoping a warden will chime in and maybe offer insight as to why, they did this premeditated, entered an adult event with intent to defraud and steal so they
are under adult rules.
as for the bashing them, if they are minors I for sure would not be posting any pictures or making comments about them being harmed. bad juju

Before you lock: you all have covered nearly every opinion on this subject.
Unless the TD follows up with TPWD and gets a different result more to what you all want to see happen it is dead issue.
Now lock it!

Now lock it! The votes say otherwise more in favor of keeping it open. Kinda like the criminal case should still be open.

Not a lib here but I am not sure I would have had the stomach for watching a public hanging back in the day...I believe in owning mistakes, in paying for them whatever the cost, and then being forgiven for them because I believe in Him...That is not liberalism, that is faith!
See you on the lake and have a great day!
