yes.. this is just crazy. I'm not sure how they came up with this type of charging, but maybe Biden's DOJ is involved as they found out Ben voted for Trump.

I see it two ways.
1. When he was fined and his fish DQ’d, his name should have been removed from the 2 x $5k drawings. End of story, right.
2. He was fined, fish was DQ’d; but he INTENTIONALLY lied on the SAL application. OK, make an example out of him I suppose. Maybe the state will finally get tough on tournament cheaters like R Rose.
And when I say “intentionally”, I mean that he knew his license was expired and tried to sneak it by. Intent has to be proven... Considering that he hasn't published a public statement yet, some folks are posting pure speculation.

Doesn't sound like this is the end of the Sharlunker program drama. I hear there will be more dropping this week.

Does anyone know when money started being involved? I had no idea everybody that turns in a 13 pounder is fishing a tournament or contest. I genuinely did not know money was involved at all. Is this new? I’m assuming they incentivized it because they want participation and have killed some fish and it’s a pretty controversial program.

Sharelunker does two drawings annually for $5000 gift cards to Bass Pro Shop. One drawing is for all fish over 8 pounds entered and the second is for fish weighing over 13 pounds.

I caught one on Tyler E a month ago, so far it’s paid $1800….maybe I should try and milk it for another $5k. It was legal too.

DON’T do it, they might find out that you didn’t have your kill switch hooked up and you’ll end up in the clink.

It was legal too. 3 classes 8+ Lunker 10+ Elite Class 13+ Legend Class I entered a 12 a few years ago and that year someone with an 8 won. Caught several over 8 since but never entered. If I ever catch a teener I will.

DON’T do it, they might find out that you didn’t have your kill switch hooked up and you’ll end up in the clink.  This one would land squarely in the Elite class.
