It’s a bit different- the accuser isn’t a judge and jury, an angler has ample opportunity to take an easy polygraph to show they are innocent.

If you had a job that you’d get fired from even if you were correct in turning in a co worker who was cheating - would you want to turn them in? Let’s not turn this into some nobility thing- it’s obvious what’s happened here.

And by golly, the right to confront your accuser is covered by the 6th amendment. It's downright un-American to anonymously accuse someone of something.

The right to confront your accuser, guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

It’s clear from your response that you have a different view of integrity. That’s okay, it takes all kinds of people to keep the world turning.

It takes courage to do the right thing and report someone for an infraction or violation, it's a positive action! However, not having the backbone to stand by your accusations with your name attached is an issue that seems to affect a certain segment of society.

You do you!

I don’t get why it matters and why people are persecuting the protestors and bass.

If the protestors received info that there was a possible infraction he was obligated to report it.

Once he reported it, BASS was obligated to investigate it.

That’s all that happened.


Scott is the one that took the next steps and according to his own video the protestors received info had legs. So are we going to persecute the messenger and give the one trying to skate the rules a free pass?


I can’t receive info on Lake A but can you give me info on Lake B that fishes just like Lake A (wink wink). Scott solicited info that would give him a competitive advantage. It’s simple as that.

Say you are sponsored by skeeter or Garmin, but lower on the totem pole than the accused- now you are stuck between a rock and a hard place, you snitch and you might lose a sponsor…

Not a single trail in Ky (other than bass) that allows protests after scales close. Meaning if you are going to accuse someone of cheating, you are going to accuse them in front of everyone. Robertson knows this as well as I’m telling you. bass’s anonymous protests are .

Imagine how much of a hard turn this takes if was one of Martin's buddies, or if it was Upshaw feeling "obligated" again.

If what has been reported is true, how do 2 elites get the juice on Martin sending texts to some random local? For this reason alone, there should be some sort of explanation. It certainly fuels the setup "conspiracy theories"

Why does it matter- I’ve never worried about breaking a rule in a tournament- if someone is breaking the rules it’s all on them.

Well bubba fishing a trail in ky for pickle jar money isn’t going to lose his job at the sewer plant for protesting- it’s no comparison..

Why would we care about you?
The burden of proof was on an anonymous protester. What proof has been offered? Scott's video was not him confessing . He states its all untrue and took a poly.
Any other take on this is opinion.
